'''Pseudosexual''' or '''senssexual''' is a [[microlabel]] for individuals on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]] who experience a non-sexual (tertiary) [[Physical Attraction|physical attraction]] which mimics or borders on sexual attraction.
These individuals experience strong physical attraction (such as [[Aesthetic Attraction|aesthetic attraction]] or [[Sensual Attraction|sensual attraction]]) to a specific individual(s) which mimics sexual attraction (often by inducing sexual arousal or a libido spike). Despite this they lack the intrinsic desire to commit sexual acts with that individual(s). Pseudosexual can also fall under the [[Black Stripe Asexual|black stripe asexual]] umbrella.
Some common pseudosexual experiences might include:
*Experiencing sexual arousal or a libido spike caused by aesthetic or sensual attraction without a drive to commit sexual acts with the target of attraction.
*Enjoying or being sexually aroused by individuals in erotic content or fantasies but being uninterested in sexual activity with the individuals.
* Experiencing sexual arousal or a libido spike caused by viewing or otherwise sensing an individual but lacking sexual attraction towards the individual.
*Experiencing aesthetic or sensual attraction so strongly it overwhelms any potential sexual attraction.
This term is similar to but distinct from [[miransexual]] asexuals who experience visual sexual attraction ([[Mirous Attraction|mirous attraction]]) which does not involve other senses and is unrelated to sensual attraction.
