The '''split attraction model''', or '''SAM''', is a model which differentiates [[attraction]] into different [[:Category:Attraction|forms of attraction]], each of which may have it's own [[orientation]]. The SAM has historically been important to the [[ace-spec]] and [[aro-spec]] individuals, but also experiences use outside of the [[a-spec]] community. |

The split attraction model is often used to describe how one's [[sexual orientation]] and [[romantic orientation]] interact and are distinct. For example an individual may be [[heteroromantic]] and [[bisexual]]. A-spec individuals may use the SAM to describe which forms of attraction they do experience. An [[asexual]] individual may experience romantic attraction and an [[aromantic]] individual may experience sexual attraction, and the SAM allows such individuals to describe their orientations separately. Some individuals may also include [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]] orientations in their identities.<ref>https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-split-attraction-model-5207380</ref> An individual whose [[sexual orientation]] and [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]] don't match may identify as [[varioriented]]. |

If an individual's [[sexual]] and [[romantic]]] orientations are the same they may prefer to use a single word and may identify as [[perioriented]]. For example, one may prefer the term "[[pansexual]]" over "[[panromantic]] and [[pansexual]]." A common exception to this is the term [[aroace]], which is often used to avoid confusing "asexual" with [[Alloromantic Asexual|alloromantic asexual]] or "aromantic" with [[Aromantic Allosexual|allosexual aromantic]]. |
