'''Esthesiosexual''' is an [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] identity in which one desires a relationship with non-intercoursal [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]] activities, it does not involve direct penetration, rather, they prefer outercourse, or [[Sensual Attraction|sensual]] actions/intentions.

== History ==

The term was possibly coined by Tumblr user The SAGA-Saurus on December 12, 2016.<ref name=":0">https://thesagasaurus.tumblr.com/post/154408550774/esthesiosexual-latin-touch-non-intercoursal</ref>

== Flag ==

The esthesiosexual was designed by Tumblr user aceruskaroma/Abrosexual Ruska Roma on December 16, 2020. The new flag was created because the designer hated the original.<ref name=":1">https://aceruskaroma.tumblr.com/post/637678128179888128/esthesiosexual-latin-touch-pronunciation</ref> The color meanings are the following: The light-medium magenta at top stands for sensuality. The light teal stands for being at peace with your identity. The medium teal stands for unity. The purple stands [[asexual]] community.<ref name=":1" />

The original flag was created by Tumblr account The SAGA-Saurus on December 12, 2016.<ref name=":0" /> The flag seems to have been inspired by the [[:File:Aceflag.png|asexual flag]], but this is unconfirmed and the flag has no confirmed meaning.
