Have you checked if there’s fire though? It might be a fire alarm instead of a smoke alarm. I can’t sleep.

You have to get 3 warnings in a 3 month period. Why are definition debates so common here?

Welcome to AVEN!

Hello and welcome!

Thank you, very helpful. Helpful video and things really clicks when reading about Aegosexual. Of course not something to just state after reading the first time or anything just like that, but it feels right with my experiences, at least now.

True. I never know how to continue a conversation or initiate small talk with someone. The only exception is if they like Persona. Then we could talk for hours on end. TPBM doesn't know how to read the room. Ever.

Oh ho, if you turn out to be aegosexual, welcome to the club! Ah, and welcome to AVEN as well 🍰

Well that's how it is for me. When I look at someone pretty and/or hot, I just love to gaze and admire their physical appearance. If you asked me what makes me notice a person first, their personality or looks, I'd immediately say looks (personality later). I never have the urge to hug them, touch them whether it be in a sensual or sexual way, or date them, I just like to admire them. Not in a creepy, perversely staring at someone's body way, just a "I love their clothes, their hair, EVERYTHING" way. To put it easier, just imagine a straight girl. She finds so many girls really pre

A little comment: in my opinion, the word "intimacy" shouldn't be used as an euphemism for sex - because it suggests that sexual contact is the only way to be intimate with someone. As someone who enjoys verbal intimacy - that is, personal conversations (although with friends only, because I have never been in a relationship) - but feels psychologically incapable of having sex, I know that there are many forms of intimacy and I don't feel right with an implicit assumption that if I'm not open to having sex to any extent, I cannot experience intimacy.

welcome Yes, an asexual person can still experience all of this and remain asexual. 'Aegosexual' is a common term used in the ace community which might have some overlap with your experiences. Sexual attraction generally means you have a mental desire to engage in some kind of sexual behavior with a specific person, and you feel a "magnetic pull" towards them. Sexual arousal is purely physical (mainly, genital activity happening). These two can happen together, or each one separately. An asexual person can (but not necessarily) have the arousal, but typically never
