They may experience visual attraction or other forms of attraction, but they do not experience complete sexual attraction. They may describe their attraction as appreciating and feeling arousal directed at someone in particular, at which their attraction ends, as they do not actually desire someone sexually or feel sexual attraction. It is similar to demisexual.
The romantic counterpart is desinoromantic.
