sydneyhenderson26 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm a lesbian but I can't figure out if I'm asexual. I have no desire to have sex with anyone, but I am physically attracted to people, like I'll think they're really cute/hot but I'd only like to kiss them, hug them, cuddle or hold hands with them. I do feel deeper connections then that though because I've fallen in love with people before. I may feel romantically attracted to someone but I would never want to have sex with them with them. Am I asexual? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Star Bit Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The only requirement for asexuality is not desiring sex with anyone. Romantic and sexual orientation are two different things. Being romantically gay is called homoromantic. Some use gay/lesbian and some don't because they feel it has sexual connotations or is misleading to others. Aesthetic attraction is the pull to look at someone because of their beauty and/or mannerisms, which is different from just recognizing good looks/what's aesthetically pleasing, and alone it is completely platonic. Sensual attraction is the impulse to have non-sexual physical contact and can be platonic too, or specifically, if you desire this with people, it's a type of queerplatonic relationship.
