Sensualarian

Sensualarian refers to someone who “blurs” the lines between the types of relationships (romantic, platonic, sensual, sexual, etc). They do not fall in "official" relationship categories, such as boyfriend/girlfriend, friends with benefits, fiance/fiancee, spouse, etc. These relationship titles may feel too constricting for these individuals as they feel that their partner(s) provide more or less than just what is typically seen in any given relationship category. A sensualarian may have relationships that they, or others, classify with these traditional labels; for example they may have "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" but they feel that the relationship provides more than just a romantic partnership.

For many sensualarians there is no “clear, cut” distinguishing mark between the variety of types of attraction, and they may identify as quoiromantic, platoniromantic, or idemromantic. Some individuals may also feel that they have the emotional capacity to love numerous individuals at once, but don’t feel polyamorous is a good fit for them.

Sensualarian is similar to relationship anarchy in that they do not conform to traditional relationship standards, however sensualarians have relationships that are often “in between” typical relationships categories, whereas relationship anarchy completely breaks down all relationship categories and treats all relationships on a case by case basis. Sensualarian is also typically an identity for people who do not/cannot distinguish between different types of attractions, while relationship anarchy is a life style.
