'''Affinitive orientations''' (also called '''affectional orientations''', formerly known as '''gender-based attraction'''<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20201029135338/https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/gallery/56310311/gender-based-attraction</ref>) is a term used when describing orientations. It is an [[umbrella term]] for any orientations that describe which [[gender]](s) one is or is not attracted to. It includes terms such as [[bi]], [[pan]], [[ace]], [[lesbian]], [[gay]], and most other [[orientation]] labels that do not fall under the [[asexual spectrum]] or [[aromantic spectrum]]. Affinitive orientations are most commonly associated with [[sexual]] and [[romantic attraction]], but the term can be applied to any [[Tertiary Attraction|forms of attraction]]. For example, terms like [[aplatonic]] or [[omni]][[alterous]] are affinitive orientations.
Affinitive orientations can be further broken down into [[Juvelic Orientations|juvelic orientations]] (terms that references the gender of both parties in attraction) and non-juvelic orientations (terms that only reference the gender of one the parties in attraction).
