bi oriented aroace culture is that it takes time to connect to oneself when one hears explanations about sexuality because one is aroace and experiences *bi panic* at the same time. In addition to that, feel a bit alienated because can't find a place in the mspec community or in the aspec community where fit right in.

Anyone else with this aroace experience?

I know the aroace community is not a monolith. I know we all have very diverse experiences. But I was thinking about how so many aroace folks had the "I think I'm bi or pan" moment because they felt the same/nothing for all genders.

I had the "I think I'm bi" moment too. But for me it was because I DID feel something for different genders. I felt incredibly strong tertiary attraction to boys and girls (this was 10 years ago and I was queer-sheltered so I had yet to meet an out nonbinary person), and bi felt like the right descriptor. I didn't have to "fake" crushes like so many aroaces. I just confused my squishes for crushes and blended in.

Even after I realized I'm aromantic asexual, bi still feels part of my identity. I relate to a lot of the bi experience. I feel strongly for several different genders, but I'm attracted to them differently. The way I'm attracted to guys is totally different than how I'm attracted to girls and nonbinary folks.

This is why the term "bi-oriented aroace" means so much to me. It describes my experiences with tertiary attraction perfectly.

Edit : sorry for portraying the stereotypical blue equal masc, and fem equals pink thing on these. The original bi flags meanings aren’t defined like that (bi flag meaning) , I was already aware of the meanings as I made these but I had the intention of these flags having separate meanings, different from the original I didn’t really think too hard on the colors tbh I just really wanted to stick to the same aesthetic of the bi flag but with these versions having symbols on them too show an attraction preference.

I’ve been toying with the idea that I’m bi or pan oriented aroace. I’ve always known I experience aesthetic attraction - it’s how it took me so long to realise I’m asexual because I was confusing it with sexual attraction. I know it’s to multiple genders but also I don’t think gender really matters because I don’t want anything to come of this attraction, I just appreciate that people are pretty. It doesn’t really seem to be people I know in my life though, usually just celebrities. I’ve been reading the definition online and it always says ‘significant tertiary attraction’ and the word ‘significant’ is confusing to me because that is a subjective word. Any oriented aroaces relate?
