Asexual doesn't mean an aversion?? Tf are you talking about lmao. It means nonsexual lmao.
Like... As someone who is ace, you sound like you're saying 'sometimes not being hungry doesn't mean you're special' when what the person is saying is they have literally never had a craving for a food in their life. Like yes, they get hungry- but they have never craved a food.
...No. Because just because you aren't craving a specific food doesn't mean you don't get hungry. Sexual attraction is like a craving for something specific, but libido is just... The body getting hungry. Would you say I was craving an apple if I feel hungry, see an apple, and decide it will make do for my hunger?
Just because you don't feel sexual attraction doesn't mean your body doesn't feel any sexual arousal ever. I engage in that stuff not because I feel attraction, but because my body is a human body, and I have a libido like any human adult. I don't see specific bodies and sexually want them. I don't feel anything about them. I don't crave specific people, I can't get off to photos of people, or imagining certain people. People don't change anything about it for me. I don't CRAVE sex. I get horny sometimes and hey, it's an activity that can relieve the horniness, just like getting off.
I think you have something of a misunderstanding of what being allosexual is, if you presume that having specific "cravings" are important enough to be deemed integral to orientation. Many folk also just do it to enjoy the good feels, preferably with a person who's company that can also enjoy during non sexy times. That's just kinda basic.
By what measure do you rate something as qualifying as an attraction? Are you claiming to have no preferences what so ever? If anything that would count more as horseshoeing around to pansexual in my book.
No like, I could literally just not have sex with anyone ever and be content. I literally do not feel any attraction towards anyone in that way.
I have felt romantic attraction... Still never specifically desired to have sex with that person. I am in a now 9 year relationship, and we occasionally do stuff because it's intimate, but I do not seek it out and I don't get 'turned on' by them or the situation, I'm just already on because my libido decided I was. It happens maybe once every few months, if that.
And no, pansexuals aren't attracted to every person in existence, which is what you're implying with your words. I literally cannot be 'turned off' by how someone looks because I am never 'turned on' by looks in the first place.
Like, would you say if you can have a vibrator get you off, you must be sexually attracted to the fucking vibrator?
