Romantic Orientation


one’s natural preference in romantic partners, not to be confused with s-xual orientation, which is one’s natural preference in s-xual partners.
joe: i hate girls so much. they disgust me!

jim: really! i always thought you were straight! we should go out someday. we could hook up!

joe: no. i’m not attracted to men. my s-xual orientation is straight, but my romantic orientation is neither. i want to f-ck girls, not have a relationship with them.
just like your s-xual orientation describes who you can be s-xually attracted to, your romantic orientation describes who you can be romantically attracted to.

a lot of people are pariorientated, meaning there s-xual and romantic orientations match. (for example a heteros-xual heteromantic) but sometimes people are variorientated, meaning they have differing s-xual and romantic orientations. (such as an as-xual heteromantic)

although people often talk about s-xual orientation more than romantic orientation, the truth is romantic attraction is usually more important than s-xual attraction, as it has a stronger influence on who you will form relationships with and marry.
friend 1: “i’ve always wondered, what is your s-xuality?”
friend 2: “why do you wonder that, doesn’t my romantic orientation matter more? i’m not going to marry someone just because they’re s-xy.”

“i don’t care who anyone is s-xually attracted to, i’d rather know what your romantic orientation is if you’re willing to tell me.”

“i’m as-xual but i do experience romantic attraction.”
