Orchid spectrum is an umbrella term for orientations that hold Attraction without Action, or “Allo through an Aspec Lense”.[1]
Orchid- is when an individual feels attraction, but doesn’t desire a relationship in real life (although it may not always be this clear-cut). The person can be Aspec or Allo or use the term in itself.
Some examples of Orchid-spec are,
- You don’t desire a relationship at all, but still feel attraction.
- You don’t desire a relationship in a traditional sense, and prefer it only in fictional scenarios.
- You feel attraction, but not connected to yourself.
- System Members who only prefer relationships in system, but could never have a relationship while fronting (but still feel attraction).
Some orientations that could fall under the Orchid spectrum if they so choose are Aego, Litho, Ficto, etc.
