Apothisensual

Apothisensual is an identity for those who are both Touch-Repulsed and Asensual/Asen-spec. For some Apothisensuals, they are averse to the idea of engaging in touch themselves, but are fine with sensual activity that does not involve them. Others may be repulsed by the idea of touch in general. Those who are Apothisensual typically do not seek out sensual relationships.

Etymology
The prefix Apothi- comes from the Greek word "apothisan", meaning repulsed.
