Among [[Allosexual|allosexuals]] and/or [[Alloromantic|alloromantics]] aesthetic attraction is commonly felt alongside sexual and/or romantic attraction, this is sometimes considered a necessary element of the experience.

== Flag == |

| ⚫ | |||
The flag was coined by a user going by Anamika on December 6th, 2020. The first shade of pink represents people with [[neutral]] or [[genderless]] aesthetics, the second shade of pink represents people with [[androgynous]] or fluid aesthetics, the third shade of pink represents people with [[feminine]] or [[xenic]] aesthetics, the fourth shade of pink represents people with [[masculine]] or [[Faunagender|animalistic]]/[[Otherkin|non-human]] aesthetics. The white represents [[attraction]], and represents how vast the spectrum of attraction can be. Orange represents [[a-spec]] people with aesthetic attraction, lighter orange represents people with multiple [[attraction]] types, gold represents breaking past societies expectations of attraction, and light yellow represents peace, unity, and community. The circle with the colors represent all races, as many races have different aesthetics due to their culture. It is also there as a nod to [[QPoC|qpoc]], who are highly under appreciated. |
