Aromantic asexuality

Rare card · No. 69652

Aromantic asexual, colloquially shortened to aroace or aro-ace, is a romantic and sexual orientation characterized by experiencing little to no romantic and sexual attraction. The name comes from combining the two attraction minorities, aromanticism and asexuality, specifically the shortened versions of their names: "aro" for aromantic and "ace" for asexual, and forming a combined term using the split attraction model. Just like asexuality and aromanticism, aro-ace identities exist on a spectrum. About a quarter of asexual people also identify as aromantic, with just over 40% of aromantic people identifying as asexual. Aroace individuals may feel alienated from the broader LGBTQ community due to amatonormativity.
