Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

All right... I have a friend who is dating... well... they're not not dating... but basically, he cuddles and kisses another dude sometimes. Thing is... the other dude says he's aromantic asexual. So, I'm wondering... what does he get out of it? I know Asexuals can be in romantic relationships like that just fine, but the fact that he's also aromantic just throws me off. Educate me FS. Is he lying and if not cure my ignorance.

I don't understand why you care

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[herpymcderp]

Why would you want to understand someone else's world view or state of being, that's fucking crazy talk we should all just hate each other indiscriminately and throw feces.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

Tut tut that's no way to behave. We should offhandedly accuse everyone of lying when they say they don't match up to what our views of what their labels are instead

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[herpymcderp]

It's a good thing I never did that then, but that's a pretty good trolling attempt so I will award you 5/10.

Don't take everything so personally, I meant the OP

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[herpymcderp]

But the OP isn't really doing it either. They're outright admitting they're probably wrong and ignorant.

I just confused you for one of my stalkers, that's all. They're kinda everywhere these days.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, they kinda are.

"This guy claims he's gay but he kisses and cuddles a girl. FS nonnies, how could this happen? Is he lying? Educate me because I don't understand"

And dude I didn't even reply to you. You replied to me

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[herpymcderp]

I'm neither asexual nor aromantic, but as I understand it, that can mean many different things to different people. In the way that people can describe themselves as asexual but still consent to having sex with their partners because it fulfills a need, or still have sexual feelings and masturbate, or still enjoy porn... it's my take that aromantic can mean "I just don't like the idea of traditional romance" or "I hate all affection and romantic love" or any combination of sentiments.

This might just be shared affection or something.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[making_excuses]

I am probably what you'd call Aromantic*, and I am great at relationships, I enjoy relationships I am just never "in love" in relationships.

In my previous relationships, I have always felt a bit bad that I was never "in love" with them, but I did love them and it is nice knowing someone is always there for you and vice versa.

I never want to get married, but I want to have a partnership, I want to raise children and I would prefer it if that or those children have two parents, but if it never happens I am just as happy being on my own.

Did that explain it for you? You are welcome to ask me questions, I won't get offended.

*as in: I have never had a crush, can't even imagine how it feels except what I have been described in books and by other people.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

Physical intimacy isn't always about sex or romance. Sometimes it's just nice to be close to people.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

Cuddling and kissing is nice? You don't have to get off or be in love with the other person.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[kallanda_lee]

Do we know each other, because i swear I have the same friend?

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

OP

Haha, I doubt it.
...Then again he does seem to know everyone...

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

I do too and I'm not the OP. Apparently this kind of thing is more common than I thought!

OP here

[(Anonymous)]

All right, I think I see. Even if he's not romantically in love with him, he still loves him in another way and such actions can be used to show that. I guess I just find kissing uncomfortable and I'm not even aromantic (clearly), so I couldn't even imagine it without a romantic or sexual charge.


Also, sorry if it came across as what the first anon is saying. I didn't mean for it to come off that way, but I guess it's just because I don't trust the guy (he's lied about other things before).

Re: OP here

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I almost forgot. Thanks to everyone who replied! You're all lovelies. Even the first anon.

You can continue to correct me or fill me in on stuff.

Re: OP here

[(Anonymous)]

First anon here

Thank you for clarifying, as I said later on in the thread the "are they liars" is an unfortunately common reaction to anything that deviates off the gay or straight sexuality binary :(

Re: OP here

[(Anonymous)]

Yeeeeah I probably should have taken that into consideration, especially since I've seen how frustrating those kind of people can be. I'll work on my wording next time!

Re: OP here

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for being cool about it :)

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[cloud_riven]

Affection, physical too, is what I'm assuming aro guy gets out of it. It's a pretty common human thing to want/need them, but also being in love (romantically) or attracted to the people you share them with isn't mutually exclusive.

For my point of reference, I'm a cuddle slut on top of being a slut slut. They don't always go hand in hand.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[dahli]

what does he get out of it?

Making their partner happy. Physical intimacy is nice and it doesn't necesarily means it's gonna end in sex. I'd say it's just a way to show affection, like hand holding on linking arms, etc.

Also sexuality is not so black and white? I mean, some ace people have sex, others don't and so on.

Asexuals are special snowflakes dude. They don't make any sense.

Re: Aromantic Asexual Question

[(Anonymous)]

it means he's been hanging out on tumblr too long

We get it, one comment was enough.
