(Redirected from Asensualflux)
Asensual, often shortened to Asen, is a sensual orientation that describes an individual who feels little to no sensual attraction. It can also be described as having a lack of interest or desire to participate in sensual activities.[1] One may have no interest in being physically intimate with anyone.[2]
It is considered an umbrella term, usually referring to the asensual spectrum, while also being a stand-alone identity.[1]
History
It isn't certain when the term "asensual" was coined, or who coined it.[3]
