Quoisensual experiences may include:
# Questioning sensuality for such a long time that the questioning itself becomes the sensuality, rather than a path toward any other identity
# Having a difficulty distinguishing sensual attraction from other types of attraction
Quoisensuality is often considered an [[Asensual Spectrum|asen-spec]] identity, though not all quoisensuals identify with the [[Asensual Spectrum|asensual spectrum]]. Quoisensuality can more accurately be understood as a disidentification with the [[Sensual Attraction|sensual]]/[[asensual]] binary, which may or may not overlap with an [[Asensual Spectrum|asen-spec]] identity.
== History and Etymology ==
The term quoiromantic was first coined by Tumblr user Epochryphal (Cor) in 2012, based on quoi, the French word for "what."
Quoisensual was coined by FANDOMwiki user [[User:Rat0Meat |Rat0Meat]] on May 29, 2021. It was inspired by [[quoiromantic]] and [[quoisexual]] , on May 29,2021. ▼

== Flag and Symbolism ==
In 2015, Cor proposed cos own flag design for quoi identities, including [[quoigender]], [[quoisexual]], and [[quoiromantic]]: four lavender question marks, rotated in a ring to share a single dot, as if spinning in a circle. This design was overlaid on a cool grey background in a house-shape, instead of the traditional rectangular flag. The choice of question marks as a symbol references the questioning basis of quoi as an identity term.
[[File:QuoiTrianglePurple.png|thumb|Lavender version of the triangular flag design]]More recently, some simplified designs have been proposed inspired by the nontraditional flag shape idea, using a triangular flag shape instead, with the intent of being easier to physically reproduce. Like Cor's design, these designs exhibit a ring of question mark symbols sharing a single dot, except that the number of question marks is three instead of four. These designs have been proposed in both a green and a lavender version, in reference to previous designs. The green version is intended for quoi orientation identities, specifically. The lavender version is intended for quoi identities as a whole, as with Cor's design, "to honor its intentional vagueness." This leaves it open to use for other types of quoi identities, such as [[quoigender]].
