“Physical touch is like a melon. You feel good just from the taste.”
Nesaromantic is the lack of romantic attraction until sensual touch or the idea of such is introduced.
This can be the act of cuddling, hugging, roleplaying, mentioning hugs. If this is not implemented, there will be no romantic attraction at all.
If a nesaromantic person doesn’t have physical interaction with someone, sexual or not, they will not feel romantic attraction to them. A long distance couple not touching or talking about touching will lead to one partner, who is nesaromantic, not feeling romantic attraction to the other.
Ways a nesaromantic feels attraction;
Roleplaying sensual acts
Mentions of physical touch

Ways a nesaromantic doesn’t feel attraction;

A nesaromantic person can feel attraction to starngers, or people who seem to only gently or brush against them once. They could even fall in love with someone for long periods of time if they have to work together or touch something that another person had touched.
The touch in question usually has to come from outside the self, but it may include those who are autosexual and plural.
The counterpart would be Nesasexual.
