This can apply to [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]], [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]], [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]] relationships, or any other [[Tertiary Attraction|type of relationship]]. Ambiamory can be used as prefix for other forms of attraction. For example, in the case of queerplatonic attraction, "ambiamorous" may be switched with "ambiqueerplatonic." In the case of alterous attraction, the term "ambiamorous" may be switched with "ambialterous." However, these forms for attraction can be grouped into ambiamory; alternative terms simply exist for those who don't feel the "-amorous" prefix properly fits their relationship types.
== History ==
Ambiamorous was coined sometime before May 11th, 2016, by a polyamorous friend of Tumblr user The Moorcat to describe their fluid relationship style.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230712171727/https://polyrolemodels.tumblr.com/post/144222638994/the-moorcat</ref> It was independently coined again on April 17th, 2017, by Poly Land writer Page Turner.<ref>https://poly.land/2017/04/17/make-mono-poly-easier-monogamy-polyamory-spectrum-not-binary/</ref> The term was proposed in response to controversy that monogamy and polyamory were two ends of a spectrum that did not interact.
The term omniamorous existed before, at least since 2011 in polyamory circles and forums, describing the same or a similar situation.<ref>https://polyamory.com/threads/omniamory.13800/</ref><ref>https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/730297086763008000/omniamorous-pride-flag</ref>
==Flags==
The primary ambiamorous flag was coined by mod AP of Tumblr blog beyond-mogai-pride-flags on April 14th, 2019. The colors come from a redesign of the polyamorous flag, with white alluding monogamy. The flag uses the Greek letter alpha because both start with "a", resembling the monogamous and polyamorous designs.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230712163221/https://www.tumblr.com/beyond-mogai-pride-flags/184195216095/ambiamorous-pride-flag?source=share</ref>
The second flag was coined by an unknown. The third ambiamorous flag was coined by Tumblr user sleepygender on March 9th, 2020, and holds no confirmed meaning.
==Etymology==
[[wiktionary:ambi-|''Ambi'']] comes from the prefix ''ambo'', which means "both" in Latin.
