Noun, Combined term sororal (sisterly) and romance

A Soromance is a strong relationship between two females where one or both of the females are straight and they are having sex for mutual convenience and pleasure. Any outside observer would consider their actions to be more like a lesbian romance and lesbian sex, however, long term the intimacy of the relationship will most likely end when one of them begins dating or marries a man.

Sismance is a related term, however, in a sismance, there is no sexual element.

Male versions of these two words are framance (with sexual element) and bromance platonic.
A woman should recognize her heart will likely be broken in a soromance unless she is mature about the relationship and recognizes that eventually her friend will eventually begin dating a man.

Similar to the term "nohomo".

However this particular term is used when two opposing gendered heterosexual individuals engage in conversation and something is said that could be perceived in a way other than intended. Just as "nohomo" implies there is no homosexual connotation to the aforementioned statement, the term "noromance" implies that there is no romantic implications intended in the response or statement of either heterosexual opposite gender individual.

Generally this is only used by men who are in a loving, committed relationship when talking to old acquaintances or networking, or women who want to keep guys in the friendzone.
Platonic Male: So the other day, I made the mistake of asking my friend, who happens to be a wizard who takes everything literally, to make me a sandwich. I was delicious.
