Nonaesthetic, also known as A-aesthetic, Ansthetic 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 (or even both), but their attraction does not revolve around one's appearance.
One may abbreviate the term anaesthetic to anae, nonae or aae; one may abbreviate the nonaesthetic spectrum to ae-spec.
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.
