Thank you! November 24, 2020 at 11:58PM

Yup! The spectrum is pretty much allosexual (people who do experience sexual attraction) all the way to ace sexual (people who do not). Things like gray-ace and demisexual fall in the area in between allo and ace, since they experience attraction much more rarely than an allo would. November 24, 2020 at 11:55PM

On another note, I went through some of your posts and, as a 28M, I can relate to many points. If you don’t mind me asking, do you consider yourself a heteroromantic asexual? November 24, 2020 at 11:53PM

cool, I hope it helps! November 24, 2020 at 11:51PM

As far as I know, I'd say my sexuality changed. I started paying attention to men's physical features that I did not a few years back. November 24, 2020 at 11:50PM

Ahh, I’ve seen it both ways, but yeah, ace looks better. 🤷🏻‍♀️ November 24, 2020 at 11:50PM

I'll look it up, thanks! November 24, 2020 at 11:49PM

you might be demisexual! It sounds like you described it, it's when you need an emotional bond before being sexually attracted to someone. November 24, 2020 at 11:41PM

What a butt, sorry you have to deal with that :/ November 24, 2020 at 11:40PM

I’m not sure. I just think aesthetic attraction is being drawn to someone because of looks and that doesn’t always have to be in a romantic sense. November 24, 2020 at 11:39PM

What an absolute git. November 24, 2020 at 11:33PM

Queerphobia and homophobia are not interchangeable for some. Thanks for calling that out! November 24, 2020 at 11:32PM

I wonder what the line is between aesthetically attractive and aesthetically pleasing. November 24, 2020 at 11:32PM

that is damn good November 24, 2020 at 11:31PM

Asexuals obsessing over food is a huge meme. The joke is that it has nothing to do with Asexuality, or sexuality in general November 24, 2020 at 11:31PM

I’ve always had romantic attraction but sexual attraction I just don’t have. We will see if I’m a late bloomer like you! November 24, 2020 at 11:31PM

Tell them in whatever way you are most comfortable with. <3 November 24, 2020 at 11:30PM

I promise I will eat it with garlic bread! November 24, 2020 at 11:28PM

I had a coworker peg me as ace because I don’t talk about past relationships at all, nor do I give people compliments related to their appearance November 24, 2020 at 11:24PM

Yeah I didn’t phrase it the best. A better way to explain would be I personally am only romantically attracted to guys. However I can think a girl is really pretty and not want anything romantic from her I just think she looks cool. She’s aesthetically pleasing to me. November 24, 2020 at 11:21PM

Isn’t aesthetic attraction more of a long-term effect than just acknowledging someone looks good? From the FAQ, I understood it could be, for example, a desire to look at and appreciate the beauty of your partner. Would that be a romantic attraction as well? November 24, 2020 at 11:18PM

Hello! I can't tell you anything for sure but if it might help, what you described sounds a lot like sensual attraction: you like physical contact, hugging, kissing and etc but the sex isn't what you enjoy the most right? I know some asexuals do have sex with their partner because they like to give pleasure or they like the dynamics of it, maybe that is your case And if you were unsure about it, the fact that you masturbate or that you can get excited by porn sometimes doesn't mean anything because libido is different than sexual attraction. What you can do, if you already didn't, is ask yourself if you ever felt sexual attraction (and if you're not sure what it is, maybe it's a clue, try searching for people describing it) Also, try searching for the different attraction someone can experience (aesthetic, sensual, platonic...) maybe you will relate to them Hope it helps and if you have any questions ask them!

Yeah, you can not be romantically or sexually attracted to someone and still acknowledge that they look good. That’s aesthetic attraction. Also you can want to hug or cuddle or have physical contact with family or friends in a completely non romantic and non sexual way. That’s sensual attraction. November 24, 2020 at 11:13PM
