Definition: Individuals who identify as Cavaeromantic feel as thought there is a hole where romantic attraction should be, and that hole is filled with a form/multiple forms of tertiary attraction. Some people may also say that their “tertiary” attraction feel s more like their “primary” attraction instead. This was created to be a more general term for Quaromantic.

From the Latin word “cavae” meaning “hollow”. Pronounced like "kæveiːrəʊmæntɪk".

Another lovely individual on Reddit (account *also* deleted- don't remember who it was) coined Cavaesexual, Cavaearoace, Aesthsexual, and Aesthromantic in this post

Quaromantic is an aromantic identity when one feels strong alterous and/or exteramo attraction in place of where romantic attraction would be.

An alternative way to describe it is if one’s alterous and/or exteramo attraction takes the role of where romantic attraction would be.

Alterous Attraction is an attraction and desire for an emotional closeness with a person that exists inbetween romantic and platonic feelings.

I normally don't do coinings anymore but this is literally me for real (Besides being Cupioromantic). If this label already exists please tell me, I don't want to be coining things that already exist. I did look to see if it did and found nothing so lets just hope I didn't coin someone else's already existing label :,)
