The term aromantic spectrum is used to describe the romantic affiliations of people, irrespective of gender or sexual orientation. The spectrum is broad and houses many aromantic identities ranging from aromantic to alloromantic.
Aromanticism does not imply that there will be no intimacy in relationships. Meanwhile, alloromanticism implies romance of an exquisite nature. People with aromantic identities are not bound by the romantic ideas that govern popular culture.
