Bothromantic

Bothromantic is a romantic orientation that describes individuals who experience romantic attraction to both men and women. It is an umbrella term that encompasses various romantic identities, including bisexual and pansexual individuals, as well as others who may not fit neatly into those categories. The key aspect of bothromantic attraction is the capacity to feel romantic love for people of more than one gender.

The experience of bothromantic attraction can vary greatly from person to person. Some bothromantic individuals may find that their attraction to different genders is experienced equally, while others may have a stronger preference for one gender over another at different times or in different contexts. This attraction is not necessarily about equal amounts of attraction or the same type of attraction. It simply means that a person's romantic interests are not limited to a single gender.

Bothromanticism is distinct from sexual orientation, although the two are often related. A person's romantic orientation describes who they are emotionally and romantically attracted to, while their sexual orientation describes who they are physically attracted to. Therefore, a bothromantic individual may or may not be sexually attracted to both men and women.

Understanding bothromanticism contributes to a broader acceptance and recognition of the diversity of human romantic experiences. It highlights that romantic attraction is not confined to a binary of heterosexual or homosexual, but can exist across a spectrum of genders.
