Atypical dedicated orientation (or ADO) - when one's sexual or romantic orientation (or both if they are gender- aligned) is atypically centered on a specific person who does not express the gender they are typically oriented to.
Like: You dig your man, but none of those other dudes do it for you at ALL, and really, women, trans, asexual or non-binary folx are where it's at for you sexually and/or romantically. He's the exception to the rule - lucky guy!!
You could use this as a way of articulating your broader orientation. Like: I'm bisexual but have ADO for my husband. I am not gonna be chasing any other cis men if we break up though!

Get the ADO (atypical dedicated orientation) mug.The postulation that the global dialectic is a conflict between the far East and the Near East over who invented monotheism.
This would stand in contract to Occidentalism's dialectic of a conflict between Western "monotheism" and Eastern 'polytheism.'

Orientalism propounds that the dialectic of East vs. West can be correctly reduced to Iranicism vs. Arabism..
