Orientated, or oriented, is a label describing an individual's experience with tertiary attraction that they feel is significant enough to label alongside their romantic or sexual orientations.

Orientated may be used as a label itself without further description of the experienced attraction, optionally making orientated unlabeled. Alternatively, orientated may be combined with other terms to form labels such as gay-orientated.

Etymology

Oriented takes inspiration from the related aroace term, oriented aroace.^[1]

History and Flag

Orientated and its flag were coined and created by Tumblr user libragender on December 15, 2020.^[2]

In the flag, yellow represents platonic attraction; light purple, sensual attraction; blue, alterous attraction; and dark teal, tertiary attraction in general.
