Some asensuals do engage in sensual activities. This could be for any reason, such as meeting their own sensory needs or those of a partner.

Being asensual does not mean that one is unable to experience [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]] or enjoy sexual activity. An asensual person can have any [[Sexual Orientation|sexual orientation]]. Asensuals who are repulsed by or indifferent to sensual (nonsexual) touch may greatly enjoy sexual touch. Asensuals can also have any [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]] and [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attractions]].
How asensuals feel about touch and sensual activities can vary. Some asensuals may still have an innate need for sensual touch and other sensual experiences. They may meet these needs by using a weighted or heated blanket, cuddling with a stuffed animal or pet, or engaging in sensual activity with a friend or partner. Other asensuals lack a sensual drive, and some may be repulsed by touch or the concept of sensuality. Terms like [[Touch-Repulsed|touch-repulsed]], [[Touch-Indifferent|touch-indifferent]], [[Touch-Favorable|touch-favorable]], or [[Touch-Ambivalent|touch-ambivalent]] can be used to describe these feelings.
The term "asensual" can also be used as an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]] to describe someone on the asensual spectrum.
The asensual flag was coined by DeviantArt user Pride-Flags on May 3, 2016.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Asensual-Pride-Flag-606692450?ga_changes=1&ga_submit_new=10%253A1466898077&ga_type=edit}}</ref> It is based on the [[asexual]] and [[aromantic]] flags.
