Laimosensual, also called laimosensorial, is an asen-spec identity where one is unsure if they're on the asensual spectrum because they're not sure what sensual attraction is. It is a specific subset of quoisensual. Examples of laimosensual experiences include:
- Not being able to distinguish between sensual attraction and other forms of attraction (sexual, aesthetic, etc.)
- Being unsure what sensual attraction “feels like" or how it applies to oneself
- Being able to use external sources to determine what sensual attraction objectively feels like, but not having any internal ways to know when one is feeling sensual attraction
- Someone who generally doesn't understand what the concept of attraction of any kind means to them, and so can't tell whether they feel sensual attraction
- Someone who has difficulty distinguishing between sensual attraction, sensual relationships, and different kinds of sensual acts, so they can't tell if they experience sensual attraction or if they experience something else
- Anyone who doesn't understand what sensual attraction is and/or feels like and because of that, they don't know whether they feel sensual attraction and can't determine any specifications to their attraction
