Toric, also known as quadrisian, is a diamoric orientation referring to non-binary individuals who are, exclusively or not, attracted to men. The term can be shortened to NBLM (nonbinary-loving-men). Any non-binary individual of any alignment can use the term toric.
If the individual wishes to specify that their attraction is exclusive, the term viramoric could be used.
The feminine equivalent is trixic.
History & Coining[]
Originally, the term quadrisian was coined by Tumblr user demisexual-yuri on or before July 19th, 2017. Quadrisian is based on the Latin word for rectangle, quad, due to the fact that men and masculinity are often represented by rectangles and angular shapes in western art.
In collaboration with some friends, including demisexual-yuri, toric was coined by Tumblr user bigendering on a Discord server on July 20th, 2017. The term toric originates from the Latin suffix tor, denoting masculine agent nouns such as cantor. The feminine counterpart is trix.

The first toric flag was designed by Tumblr user diamoricmlm-and-nblm on October 17th, 2017. It was based on the orbisian flag, being another word for trixic today. Green and purple represent being non-binary, and blue represents attraction to men. In the center is the non-binary symbol overlapping the symbol for men.
An alternative toric flag was designed by Reddit user frcgdad_ on September 1st, 2020.
Another alternative toric flag was created by an anonymous wiki user on April 20th, 2021. The aqua-mint stripes represent non-binary attraction to men. The flower in the center is a Sweet William flower, which is commonly used to represent gallantry, finesse, masculinity, manhood, and strength. The flag was designed to follow the same format as the sapphic, achillean, and diamoric flags, as well as similar flags for juvelic orientations.
