don’t want her thinking I’m some rabid horndog who only has sex on the brain.”

According to the friend who asked me, that’s a very unusual response, and most people would want to share that feeling with their partner, and maybe see if the partner felt the same way. I don’t know if there’s any real basis to that, but it really helped me clarify how I felt about sex and sexuality, and why I felt that way.

Think about your answer to that, and the other questions I’ve asked, in relation to the four types of attraction. Hopefully that can shed some light, and help you figure out who you are and who you want to be. Whatever you settle on, you’ll always have plenty of support, I guarantee that. Much love.

I'm sex-positive, but want it kept away from me.

I'm in kind of a weird position. I don't believe that sex should be a shameful and dirty thing, and I believe in free sexual expression for all, but I'd prefer if that free sexual expression happened away from me. For example, I have no problem with sex toys being sold in Target, but I don't really want to see people buying them.This just feels like an odd in-between position to have. I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm not fully okay with sexuality either.

Attraction to unobtainable people like celebs

Hey, all! I've been pondering for a long while now whether I might be aro, and I think I am but wanted some other insights.

I've dated several people, and I was even engaged at one point, but my interest seems to be more in physical and sexual contact than anything romantic. Reading a lot of people's descriptions of what romantic attraction feels like, I don't think I've ever experienced anything like that.

I do experience what one might call crushes, but it's pretty much exclusively to people that are unobtainable like celebrities, people who live halfway around the world, fictional characters, and so on. The second one of those people seems like they might be able to come to me and actually meet up/go on a date, my interest evaporates like magic.

A small part (tiny, tiny part) of me wants to have a lifelong relationship, but I genuinely love being on my own. As I'm writing this, I'm realizing that I've never truly been happy in a relationship either.

Does this sound like I might be aromantic, or might I fall into another category? Any help and advice would be appreciated!

not asexual but i dont like sex


hello everybody.
I am neither asexual nor aromantic, and yes I have found myself to be attracted to people and have sexual thoughts. But the thing is... I don't like it at all.

I don't have a problem with people being sexual, not being virgins blabla, nothing shameful, but I just can't see myself doing stuff like that. It feels so unserious and just so human, can't rlly explain it.

So it's like... I'm not asexual but I wish I was. Not saying life would be easier, not saying I would always like it, but it definitely suits my own values and the philosophy I follow. I want to voluntarily stay a virgin my whole life, without being intimate with anybody. I could be and probably want to be, but it's a limit that I like having for myself, if it makes sense...? I don't 100% get it myself but I'm very loyal to it. (not religious)

I was just wondering if anybody else feels like this, rejecting sex and physical intimacy altogether, and probably even romantic love, even though I feel the want to do all of that, but I think it's just my human body making me desire such things, yet my mind says other things.
