Presential Attraction

Presential Attraction, also known as Tangible Attraction, Vital Attraction, or Material Attraction is a type of tertiary attraction based on a desire to know someone through their physical presence. It is similar to sensual attraction but one does not desire physical contact or intimacy with the person, just to know them through their presence.

Presential attraction often occurs alongside another type of attraction such as platonic, social, or aesthetic attraction. A presential crush is known as a swoon.

Presential attraction is the opposite of virtudinal attraction. Someone who does not experience presential attraction may be called apresential.

History
Presential attraction seems to have been coined in 2018 or earlier, most likely by a group of Portugese a-spec people. It was known as atração física/presencial meaning physical/presential attraction. The physical aspect referred to the desire to physically be around someone (however that should not be confused with actual physical attraction). Presential attraction became more widely known in early 2021.
