I just experienced sexual attraction!
I've been identifying as ace or grey ace for most of my life now, and have always been curious about this elusive sexual attraction that allos talk about.
Well I just experienced it for the first time in my life (as far as I remember). I won't go into the specifics of how it happened since it's personal to me, but I can share that a key aspect was this person is from my own ethnicity and culture, which I don't see all that often in the western world.
This is what it felt like: I noticed it as soon as I saw the other person, as soon as I was in the same room as them. There was this "magnetic" energy, very visceral in my body, seeming to physically pull me towards them. I wanted to look at them, stare at them if I could, just drink in the view of them. The energy excited me, woke me up. It was strangely pleasurable just to feel it in my body. It was impossible not to notice. I had a physical urge to be near them, hold them tightly, kiss them all over, have sex with them, merge together with them. I don't know how I knew I wanted those things, I just knew, and it felt like I could so easily just allow myself to completely lose myself in the passion of what I was feeling and my body would act automatically. My body knew exactly what it wanted and what to do.
This is the first time in my life I've felt this with another. It was quite overpowering, I couldn't think of anything else or focus on a conversation with anyone else while I was in the same room as them. To any other aces that are wondering about sexual attraction, when it happens you literally cannot miss it. Like it's right there, in your face.
I still identify as greyace, and it's exciting to explore these new realms and feelings.

To be clear, can asexual people have "love" kind of feeling? I till now thought that sexual attraction was "null" in asexual people, but now after reading this I'm not sure, so what exactly it is?

Tell me you’re asexual/aromantic , without telling me you’re asexual/aromantic.
I used to think I had crushes on all my friends, then I realized that crushes aren’t the same thing as friends, and I had never felt this ‘crush’ thing people were talking about. I also told my friends that I had my first kiss, I forgot to mention that it was a Hershey’s chocolate kiss. When they asked who it was with I got confused and asked why I had to share my chocolate.

Can an Ace and an Allo be together? Will it work?
I was thinking that after the last post here that surprisingly a small minority of allos would be with an ace but I'm curious on how would it work. I know Aces are not necessarily sex repulsed but would allos be that open minded? I've heard from sexologists that sex is the basis of any lasting relationship. I do believe in love but apparently is better if an Ace is with another Ace as the allo as much as he/she tries won't ever understand us.
Then there's my personal issue. I'm 25 and has never been in a relationship. I don't know but for me I feel an ace would be more accepting of this fact rather than an allo but I might be wrong. What do you think? Any personal experiences?

I asked an AI to draw asexuality for me and quite honestly I was a little impressed.
