♡Amorantist♡
Amorantist is a term referring to individuals with an active romantic drive, regardless of romantic orientation. Amorantists may experience an inherent drive to engage in romantic activities, such as going on dates and cuddling. They may or may not choose to engage in these activities, but the drive is still there.
It is the opposite of non-amorantist, a term often used by aromantic individuals. A large percentage of aromantics are non-amorantists, though some aromantics are Amorantists, as they still have a romantic drive, though they do not feel Romantic attraction. Most (but not all) alloromantic individuals are Amorantists.
Individuals who do not experience a Romantic drive may use the term Non-Amorantist.
The sexual equivalent is a Libidoist.
♡Non-Amorantist♡
Non-Amorantist is a term referring to individuals without an active romantic drive, regardless of romantic orientation.
Non-amorantist individuals typically do not experience an an inherent drive to engage in romantic activities, such as going on dates and cuddling. They may or may not still engage with these activities, however.
While a lack of romantic drive is not synonymous with aromanticism, the term is often used by individuals on the aromantic spectrum, as a large percentage of aromantic individuals are non-amorantists. Some aromantic individuals may still experience a romantic drive, though they do not experience romantic attraction (or only experience it rarely or weakly). These individuals may use the term Amorantist. Additionally, as romantic drive is a separate concept from romantic orientation, alloromantic people may also be non-amorantists. The sexual equivalent is a Non-Libidoist
♡Hyper-Amorantist♡
Not to be confused with Hyperromantic Hyperamorantic is a term that refers to those with a high romantic drive, or a state of someone exceeding levels of being a Amorantist, regardless of orientation. Hyperamorantist may have a very intense and hard to ignore drive to engage in romantic activities, such as going on dates and cuddling. They may or may not choose to engage in these activities, but the extreme drive is still there. This term does not automatically mean they fall in love easily, as it's only defined as a strong desire to engage in romantic activities.
They may be seen as a hopeless romantic, jump into any relationship opportunity that presents itself, constantly fantasize about romantic scenarios, etc. In some cases it may be extreme enough that they may simply find everyone they meet that they find attractive to be a potential partner.
Unlike Hyperromantic, Hyperamorantic individuals lack the disordered thought processes included such as excessive and intrusive thoughts, compulsions, addictions, etc. This is meant to be an alternative to people using hyperromantic to describe non-disordered individuals with high romance drives. The sexual equivalent is a Hyperlibidoist. ✧Tagging for all Term posts: @radiomogai✧
