[[File:Artsexual.png|thumb|The artsexual flag.]][[File:Artsexual flag 2.png|thumb|A simplified version of the artsexual flag.]]'''Artsexual''' is when one is attracted to art, such as paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc. Often times people who identify as artsexual have little to no attraction to people in real life, and fall under the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual]]/[[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrums]]. This term could be considered a subset to [[objectum]] for some individuals, due to sculptures being a possibility, however it is most commonly used in a similar manner to [[animatesexual]] in which one is attracted to the characters within the art rather than the art itself.▼

==Flags and symbols==
The flags were made by a fandom user going by [[User:Cryptocrew|
On May 17th, 2021 the alternate artsexual flag was created by fandom users [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/User:Fruitindividual Fruitindividual] and [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/User:PhysicsAndPuns PhysicsAndPuns]. The center symbol represents the colour spectrum, the star shape represents its diversity and brightness, the white represents a canvas for art to be created upon, and the border is representative of a canvas frame for the art itself. The idea is that the symbol represents the sexuality as a whole and that the sexuality itself is a work of art as well.
== History ==
