'''Tertiary attraction''', or '''nonNon-rose''',<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220319071054/https://arokill.tumblr.com/post/674747016855879681/non-rose Nonrose coining]</ref> or '''tertiary attraction''' is an [[umbrella term]] originating in the [[aroace]] communities which describes forms of [[attraction]] besides [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]] and [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]] attractions[[attraction]]s, or besides [[Physical Attraction|physical]] and [[Emotional Attraction|emotional]].<ref>[https://shades-of-grayroweb.archive.org/web/20230526003116/https://www.tumblr.com/postshades-of-grayro/186281760190/thoughts-on-defining-oriented-aroace-i-had-been Thoughts on defining “oriented aroace”]</ref>

For individuals who are not [[A-Spec|a-spec]], a partnership may involve many or all forms of attraction. When one or more form of attraction is not experienced, such as with [[aromantic]] and [[asexual]] individuals, it may become easier to identify more specific forms of attraction.
[[Aroace individuals]]s who experience nonsexual/nonromantic attraction may identity as [[Oriented Aroace|oriented aroace]] or [[Angled Aroace|angled aroace]], or may simply use another [[orientation]] label in addition to aromantic and asexual.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190918021546/https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/08/06/tiny-linkspam-on-tri-label-aro-aces/ Tiny linkspam on Tri-Label Aro Aces]</ref>
An individual who experiences tertiary attraction may use the term [[orientated]] to express it as their identity without necessarily using the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]] or another specific [[Amative Orientations|amative]] or [[Affinitive Orientations|affinitive orientation]], as well as [[orientationless]].
== History ==
Since "tertiary" means "third," the term has been criticized for implying that romantic and sexual attraction are the default or most important forms of attraction.<ref>[httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20220120153025/https://www.arocalypse.com/forums/topic/1822-tertiary-types-of-attraction-related-terminology/ Tertiary Types of Attraction & Related Terminology]</ref>
</ref> The term [[eriattraction]] exists as an alternative.
== Flag ==
The flag was designed by Tumblr user lgbtqiarchive on December 3, 2019. The colors are from alterous, queerplatonic, platonic, aesthetic, and sensual flags, the most known non-romantic non-sexual attractions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210612234735/https://lgbtqiarchive.tumblr.com/post/189462781545/tertiary-attraction-an-umbrella-term-to-describe Flag creation]</ref>
