'''Amative Orientations''' is a term used when describing [[orientation]]. It is an [[umbrella term]] for any orientations that do not describe the [[gender]](s) one is or is not attracted to, but instead describe ''how'' one experiences [[attraction]]. Most [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] and [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] orientations fall into this category. Examples include [[Demisexual|demi]], [[Fraysexual|fray]], [[Lithosexual|litho]], etc. Amative orientations are most commonly associated with [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]] and [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]], but the term can be applied to any [[Tertiary Attraction|forms of attraction]]. For example, terms like [[Platonic Attraction|platonic]][[Aceflux|flux]] or [[Greyasexual|grey]][[Alterous Attraction|alterous]] are amative orientations.
