Aphysical

Aphysical, also known as nonphysical, is an identity defined by a complete lack of physical attraction. One who is aphysical would not experience any form of physical attraction, and would by default be asexual, nonaesthetic, and asensual.

Aphysical individuals may still engage in activities traditionally defined by physical attraction, such as cuddling, sexual intercourse, or having physical relationships.

The opposite of aphysical is allophysical, where one experiences all forms of physical attraction. The emotional and tertiary attraction counterparts are aemotional and atertiary.
