Panaesthetic is a combination of aesthetic attraction and the term pan, from pansexual or panromantic. It is aesthetic attraction towards any person regardless of gender. Aesthetic attraction is defined as attraction towards a person's appearance, or how they look or present themselves. This means they like the appearance of people of all genders.
History
Aesthetic attraction was first used on AVEN forums around 2005. Since then it has been combined with other terms to describe people's experiences of aesthetic attraction. It is not known when exactly "panaesthetic" was first used.
Flag
The first coined panaesthetic flag was created April 12th, 2020 by Tumblr user sunny-flags. It is the aromantic and asexual flags overlayed on top of the pan flag, then brightened up a bit.
The second suggested panaesthetic flag was created December 21, 2020 by Wiki user Swiftinspring. The flag is the pan flag and the aesthetic attraction flag combined. The first shade of pink represents people with neutral or genderless aesthetics, the second shade of pink represents people with feminine or xenic aesthetics, the reddish-pink represents non-human or animalistic aesthetics, the white represents the wide spectrum of attraction, the yellow represents the a-spec community, the blue represents people with masculine aesthetics, and the circle in the middle represents all races and their own aesthetics, as well as qpoc.
