Nonaesthetic, also known as A-aesthetic or Anaesthetic, is a form of attraction where one does not feel aesthetic attraction towards any gender. One can still be romantically or sexually attracted to someone, but their attraction does not revolve around one's appearance.
One may abbreviate the term Anaesthetic to Ana, but this may be confused as the abbreviation for the eating disorder anorexia.
History
One of the earliest known uses of the term "aesthetic attraction" among asexuals was in 2005, on the AVEN forums. Since then it has been commonly included in lists of subtypes of attraction. It is unknown when nonaesthetic attraction was brought up.
Flag
On June 17th, 2018, Pride-Flags on Deviantart posted an image of a Nonaesthetic Flag.
On January 12th 2021, TheEightChaosEmerald on Fandom created a second Nonaesthetic Flag. The black, grey and white colours represents Lack of Attraction. The Yellow represents Human Connection. The Pink represents Aesthetic Attraction. The shades of Maroon represents Diversity.
