Being polyamorous and aroace is really super cool and fun I have so many partners to go on fun dates with and they just get that I experience the relationship a certain way that's unique and no less special than the way they do, and they love and celebrate that with me instead of thinking they can change me and THAT is what it's about to me
Hi so I’ve been seeing loads of aroposting lately, and I just wanted to come in with my own experiences, because my identity is complex to many people.
Ranting abt being aroace under the cut, it includes mentions of sex and romance so if you’re uncomfortable with that just keep scrolling
Hi, I’m a polyam romance favorable sex unfavorable aroace. This may confuse the shit out of you if you’ve seen me rant in detail about hyper specific fictional characters…but that’s part of it.
The only strong instances of sexual attraction I have ever had was towards a partner (rare occurrence, no fault of theirs at all) or a fictional character I have hyper fixated on and know almost everything there is to know about them. I believe this directly ties into my aceness. I like the idea of sex. I don’t think I like actual sex.
There seems to also be confusion when I say Im both polyamorous and aromantic when I really don’t think it’s that hard to understand.
When I do feel romantic attraction, it can take a couple months or, more commonly for me, years to build up. It’s such a few amount that while I may have 5 romantic partners right now, Ive only ever fallen in love and felt romantic love a few times - more often it’s what I thought was love because it was fed to me by television and alloromantic society.
I am still aroace even if it is demi-demi. I am still aroace even if it is grayro-gray.
In fact I don’t know what to even call my orientations, and I think aroace suits me just fine. The complexities of my identity can simply just be a variation of aroace because I do experience little romantic and almost no sexual attraction.
Also shoutout to my queerplatonic partner who is probably reading this, you should play red dead redemption 2 on stream so I can watch you play!!
Uh yea think thats it, if you made it this far have a cookie 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
There's enough pizza for you and everyone in your polycule

poly aroace (maybe undiagnosed autism) culture is desiring a multiple queerplatonic partners not for hugs, kisses and cuddles exclusively but so you can stim freely without them being weirded out
its really funny when my friends who know EVERY aspect of my queer identity are still like "wait ur polyamorous????" bc like
yes. yes i am
i just dont talk about it much bc 1) aroace and already tired of explaining how im that AND bi, i dont wanna add polyam to the mix 2) i live amongst hillbillies who already think im going to hell & 3) even on the internet people hate polyams for some goddamn reason so i dont talk about it IRL much
