Perioriented is a term which describes individuals whose orientations align together. This typically refers only to sexual and romantic orientations, but may sometimes refer to tertiary orientations as well. This is a term which is related to the split attraction model (SAM). Examples of perioriented identities include, but are not limited to, being bisexual and biromantic, or asexual and aromantic.
