Apothisensual is a microlabel on the asensual spectrum. It refers to an asensual person who is touch-repulsed. Some apothisensuals are repulsed at the idea of engaging in sensual acts themselves but are fine with sensual acts that do not involve them. Others may be repulsed by the idea of sensuality in general. Those who are apothisensual typically do not seek out sensual relationships and many dislike activities involving touch or that are motivated by sensual attraction.
The sexual counterpart to apothisensual is apothisexual. The romantic counterpart is apothiromantic. The platonic counterpart is apothiplatonic.
