Re: What's the difference between asexual romance and really close friendship?

[(Anonymous)]

That's the thing, though -- why does a lack of sexual interest also mean a lack of romance? And why does the suggestion that romantic feelings can exist without sexual interest make you and the other anon feel as if the love between friends is viewed as inferior?

There is more than one type of love. I don't love my closest friends in the same way that I love my parents. I don't love my spouse in the same way that I love my closest friends. That doesn't mean that I've developed some sort of hierarchy for each of them, it just means that the set of feelings I have for each of them is different. And yes, during a period in my life when I didn't have a sex drive due to a medical issue, the feelings I had for my spouse were still distinct from the feelings I had for the other people that I love.

NA

I don't understand why they think it means friendship is inferior, either, because I don't see anyone saying it's lesser, just that it's different.

I agree with you 100% but I think this is probably just one of those things you can't understand if you haven't experienced it yourself. The people not getting it obviously haven't had romantic feelings without sex being involved. Which is totally fine, hell, they're in the majority, but I don't think there's really a way of explaining it so they understand when they haven't experienced it themselves.
