Aemotional

Aemotional, also known as nonemotional, is an identity defined by a complete lack of emotional attraction. One who is aemotional would not experience any form of emotional attraction, and would most likely be aromantic, nonalterous, and/or aplatonic.

Aemotional individuals may still engage in activities traditionally defined by emotional attraction, such as going on romantic dates or having emotional relationships.

The opposite of aemotional is alloemotional, where one experiences all forms of emotional attraction. The physical and tertiary attraction counterparts are aphysical and atertiary.

Spectrum
Someone who experiences little, fluctuating, or atypical emotional attraction or someone who only experiences certain types of emotional attraction would be considered on the aemotional spectrum (aemo-spec).

History
The term was coined by Tumblr user mourningmogaicrew on June 4, 2021. It was given an updated flag and definition on March 13, 2022. Similar terms and experiences have been described by a-spec individuals in the past, especially on forums such as AVEN.

Flags
The original flag was created by Tumbr user mourningmogaicrew on June 4, 2021. The stripes are light pink, magenta, dark pink, and blue to represent the emotional attraction flag. The bottom stripe is black for lack of attraction. The updated flag was meant to be easier to see.
