New Kid in Town

Hello all,

 

I just found AVEN and all of the posts I have read seemed very friendly so I decided to make one of my own! I am currently going to school for my undergrad in math and physics although I'm interested in all sorts of stuff! 

 

To start off, I have absolutely no idea how I identify so my main hope in joining AVEN is that I will be able to gain insight about myself. For most of my life I just identified as "straight" (I am a guy) and since I was kinda a nerd in primary and secondary school that worked okay. However, since I started University I have had a number of sexual encounters which have left me wondering what exactly I am. I would certainly say that I find other people attractive but it may be more of an "aesthetic attraction." I've run into the term "Demisexual" which seems similar to how I feel but I am still unsure if it is actually fitting. To that end I don't think I am purely asexual but I am certainly less driven by / interest in sex as compared to those around me. When it comes to the romantic side of everything I am still interested in being romantically involved with others which has made this process of realization even more confusing. 

 

Aside from all of that I enjoy a number of activities including rowing, reading, skiing, cooking, and listening to music. I am also a big movie fan including the guilty pleasure of watching those kinda strange indie romance movies (e.g. "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World").

 

Hopefully I'll be able to find out more about myself here but regardless I'm excited to be a part of this community! 

 

P.S. I'm a big Eagles fan if you didn't catch the title of this post.

Welcome! What quite a lot of people don't realise is that there is more than one type of attraction. Here, take a sketch comic:
