1. How do you define asexuality for yourself?
Asexuality is safe for me. I feel aesthetic attraction really strongly so it's hard to tell if I've ever felt sexual attraction. I get strongly pulls to certain dudes, yeah. But it rarely goes further than that.
I'm sex repulsed, it's always been weird to me. Like abstractly I get it. And fictionally I like reading it — but the psychical visual and thinking about real life people doing it just makes me uncomfortable. Therefore I have negative 289494% desire to do it. Always have.
Asexuality is a safe place. I don't feel like I'm just really weird anymore. Even though we are always saying Asexuality isn't "not wanting to fuck", that still is a major part of it to me. I just do not want sex at all.
2. How do you define aromanticism for yourself?
I love love. I've never wanted to date. I hear about all the stuff that does into it, and all the drama that ensues inevitably from it and I just sit there ljje.... why go through that? I have support and love from my family and my friends and my dogs, I don't need to find this specific other person to feel love.
But on the other hand — and here's the distinction again, fictional — I love stories about soulmates and true love. But I also love stories about twins being the others true other half and that hole unique relationship.
As a kid I fantasized about celebrities... But it always jumped straight to marriage and they were just there because I thought they were pretty. lol
So, again, like Asexuality, aromanticism is a safe place for all these reasons. It all goes deeper than just not feeling that specific attraction. It's being quite fine not having anything to do with those things and not feeling like you're missing a piece of yourself with without them.
10. Did you have an asexual and/or aromantic awakening through media or someone you know?
Uh... Probably, if I knew what it was to begin with. Whenever you had the virgin girl "not ready" to take that step and then by the end she was, I was always frustrated that she, in my view, "caved". So that was a red flag lol.
19. What song reminds you of being asexual?
Dude idk.
20. What song reminds you of being aromantic?
Uh idk
You Can Count On Me by Bruno Mars is such a good friendship song!!!
