note: in this chapter if i say "man" or "woman" i am including people outside the binary as well (only if they feel comfortable with using this label), it's just an easier way to describe everything. i am in no way trying to invalidate anyone. so i will be putting the words "woman" and "man" in quotes so it is taken with a grain of salt
sapphic (WLW/NBLW): a sexual/romantic relationship between "women" OR an identity used by a "woman" to describe their attraction to other "women"
achillean (MLM/NBLM): a sexual/romantic relationship between "men" OR an identity used by a "man" to describe their attraction to other "men"
trixic (NBLW): a sexual/romantic relationship between a person/people outside of the binary and a "woman"/"women" OR an identity that is solely used by a person outside of the binary describing their attraction to "women"
toric (NBLM): a sexual/romantic relationship between a person/people outside of the binary and a "man"/"men" OR an identity that is solely used by a person outside of the binary describing their attraction to "men"
diamoric (NBLNB): a sexual/romantic relationship between two people outside of the binary OR an identity used by a person outside of the binary to describe their attraction to other people outside of the binary
polyamorous: an intimate (not necessarily sexual) relationship involving more than 2 people WITH the consent of everyone involved
queerplatonic relationship (QPR): committed intimate (not necessarily sexual) relationship that is not quite romantic
polyamory vs polygamy: polyamory involves a relationship with more than 2 people, but polygamy is someone getting married to more than one person
