Sensualplatonic

Recoining a term I made in 2021. Flag by me.

A Sensualplatonic Relationship/Partnership (SPR/SPP) is a type of platonic relationship where the involved parties are plantonically intimate but are romantically, sexually and/or alterously interested in each other. All parties express their interest in each other platonically, possibly converting non-platonic attraction to things like hugs, kisses, petting, or playing. In other cases, one may have a SPR that is a “SPRWB”, a mix between friends with benefits and a sensualplatonic relationship.

  • What makes it different from a Queerplatonic relationship?

A Queerplatonic Relationship is an intimate relationship that is not romantic and not traditionally platonic. They can include hand-holding, cuddling, kissing, or sexual activity. A Sensualplatonic Relationship is platonically intimate only and any other attraction is shown in platonic ways.

The difference is up to the one identifying this way.
