Orchidspec

Orchid spectrum is an umbrella term for orientations that hold Attraction without Action, or “Allo through an Aspec Lense”.

Orchid- is when an individual feels attraction, but doesn’t desire a relationship in real life (in simple terms). 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.
