Protlasromantic is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum, similar to orchidromantic, used to describe someone who does not, or does not want to, participate in romantic relationships due to one finding them exhausting/draining of one's energy.
A protlasromantic individual could feel that romantic relationships take more work/energy than it does for others and may be seen partially/wholly as the reason why they identify as aromantic or aro-spec, though one does not have to be aromantic/aro-spec to identify as protlasromantic.
