overturn overturn overturn Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Is there anyone in this community who is aro-sexual? (we tried to find topics, but could not, so we ask now) Is AVEN hosting aro-sexual people? Treatments from the other members of the community (is it complicated to be aro but not ace, in asexual community or in real life)? Opinions about this "combination"? Is there any other label for aro-sexual? Thanks. Feel free to comment, respecting others and their identities and opinions. Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I remember coming across at least a couple of them, introducing themselves on here. Here's one, in a thread called "Aromantic, But Not Asexual." Link to post Share on other sites

iff Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 moved from questions about asexuality to romantic and a romantic orientations. iff moderator Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 You're welcome! I also found another one, in another thread (second post), who identified as an aromantic, heterosexual woman. Perhaps, it might help to use phrases in AVEN's search engine, like "aromantic heterosexual," "aromantic homosexual," "aromantic pansexual," etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Snao Cone Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I know some members (who aren't very active anymore) who are aro sexual. I think a lot of people may interpret their lack of wanting a relationship as a lack of wanting sex and join AVEN thinking they're asexual, but learn more about themselves as life goes on. They may have established a sense of community here during that process and want to stick around. Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy1016 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I describe myself as an aromantic demisexual person so that method could be an alternative way to label being aro-sexual. I might go on to describe myself as pansexual in the future if I work out my trust issues but I'm unsure where that'll go. Link to post Share on other sites

It's like aro-sexual is a basic label, and can be developed in many other streams, depending on personal preferences. Now we see better. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
