This week’s obscure aspec label is...

Esthesiosexual

An esthesiosexual is someone who desires a relationship that doesn’t involve sexual intercourse, but still has elements of outercourse/sensual actions.

[aroaceconfessions]

As an aromantic esthesiosexual (I don't feel sexual or romantic attraction, only sensual attraction), I really want to hug and cuddle with my best friends so much. I (platonically) love them so much, they're so great and make me so happy I'm so glad we live together, but I do wanna be able to be more physically affectionate towards them but I'm not sure how to ask without making things awkward...

So not long after I started hormones, I wasn’t really interested in sex anymore. My libido has shot WAY down and it wasn’t even that high before.

It’s come up a little bit recently, but I’ve noticed that I much prefer to use my *ahem* toys..rather than intercourse with my partner now.

My ultimate question is if there’s an identity that fits this?

Fluxo or non-libidoist? Autosexual/autoerotic or solosexual? Esthesiosexual or juxtasexual? Feel free to add -flux or -flexible with the prefixes.

Whats the difference between esthesiosexual and juxtasexual?

They do seem pretty similar, don’t they? If you were to imagine a scale between asexual and allosexual, I think esthesiosexual would be close to allosexual than juxtasexual would be. That’s how it appears to be from comparing the definitions.
