We are a community of people who identify within the Asexual and Aromantic Spectrum
We hope to be a safe space for people, young and old, who are discovering their ASPEC identities. A space that is both a community and a comprehensive resource regarding all things ASPEC.
The Split Attraction Model or SAM separates sexual orientation and romantic orientation into different identities. It is a model often used by the ASPEC community to separate their sexual and romantic identities.
It iterates that how a person experiences attraction can be split into categories, and that people might experience sexual and romantic attractions very differently.
For example, a person may choose to identify as a gay and aromantic man, or an asexual and bi-romantic woman, etc.
