Asensual

Asensual is an orientation for those who does feels little to no sensual attraction, or does not desire sensual acts or relationships. It is an orientation on the A-Spectrum that can be used on it’s own or as an umbrella term (Asenspec).

Asensual experiences may also include:
 * Not wanting to touch others and/or be touched by others
 * Not being interested in sensual activities, or being repulsed by touch.
 * Not feeling the innate desire to have sensual touch with any specific person.
 * Feeling disconnected from the idea of engaging in sensual activity.

Some Asensuals do engage in sensual activities. This could be for any reason, such as meeting their own sensory needs or those of a partner.

Sensual attraction is defined as the desire to have nonsexual forms of touch such as cuddling, kissing, or massage with another person in particular. For Allosensual people, sensual attraction is involuntary, and possibly even occurs when someone doesn't know the other person (though one might not act on it).

Asensual people can be any sexual, romantic, or other tertiary orientation, including Allo.

How Asensuals feel about touch and sensual activities can vary. Some Asensuals may still have a innate need for sensual touch and other sensual experiences. They may meet these needs by using a weighted or heated blanket, cuddling with a stuffed animal or pet, or engaging in sensual activity with a friend or partner. Other asensuals lack a sensual drive, and some may be repulsed by touch or the concept of sensuality. Terms like Touch-Repulsed, Touch-Averse, Touch-Indifferent, Touch-Favorable, or Touch-Ambivalent can be used to describe these feelings.
