Sensual attraction , also known as sensorial attraction , is a type of physical attraction to another individual involving the senses, usually the sense of touch. This is not an explicitly sexual form of physical touch, for example, sensual attraction could involve an interest in non -sexual forms of touch such as cuddling, kissing, holding hands, or massage. Sensual attraction can also be applied in non-tactile ways, such as attraction to voices, or odor. In the a-spec community, it is often helpful to distinguish sensual attraction from sexual attraction .

Some individuals may get sensual pleasure from non-human objects, such as pillows, blankets, or toys. In which case it's important to remember that one can receive pleasure usually associated with a form of attraction without actually feeling that form of attraction.

Sensual attraction can often be confused with sensual drive, or its especially intense counterpart, touch-starvation. Sensual drive and touch-starvation may cause someone to desire sensual interaction in general, but it is not directed towards a particular individual. Sensual attraction is a desire for sensual interaction with someone in particular.
