Esthesiosexual flag
Original Esthesiosexual flag
Esthesiosexual is an ace-spec identity describing someone who desires a relationship with non-intercoursal sexual activities, it does not involve direct penetration, rather, they prefer outercourse, or sensual actions/intentions.
History & Coining[]
The term was possibly coined by Tumblr user The SAGA-Saurus on December 12, 2016.
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. The colour 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.
The original flag was created by Tumblr account The SAGA-Saurus on December 12, 2016. The flag seems to have been inspired by the Asexual flag, but this is unconfirmed and the flag has no confirmed meaning.
Etymology[]
Esthesio- in Latin means “touch.” The prefix can also mean "sensation" or "perception."
