Aliqualterous is an a-spec orientation in which one only feels alterous attraction under certain circumstances. Aliqualterous can be considered an umbrella term, in which identities such as demialterous are included under it. However, aliqualterous can also be an identity on its own. For example, some individuals may only feel attraction to a very specific type of individual, or only when in a certain place or at a certain time.
