The '''split attraction model
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]].
