Okay, I'm curious. I want to state up front, I'm not trying to attack your identity; I'm of the opinion that sexuality is fluid, and what's true for someone at one point in their life may not be true later. (Example: I thought I was bisexual when I was younger, and then pansexual. I'm... really not. I have no interest in men, male-identified people, or masculine people, like butch lesbians. I am interested in women, female-identified people, or feminine people, but I'm pretty meh when it comes to body. Trying to find a word for that is a pain, though, so I use queer.) So, there's that.

If you had a boyfriend or girlfriend, would you be having sex with them because you would want to, or because you'd feel obligated to as being part of a relationship? If it's because you'd want to, would it be because of the emotional attachment? Because my experience has been that being involved with someone you love, well, makes them attractive to you, even if they're normally not your type.

I'd probably have sex because that's what my partner wanted, but I wouldn't mind going without - I wouldn't have any problems being in a relationship with someone who never wanted sex. That said, I'm aro and not looking for an SO anyway, so the whole situation is a very hypothetical one for me. Probably thus the unfortunate comparison above between a theoretical SO and their uncle. I wouldn't be in love with either of them and I wouldn't be attracted to either of them, and of course the SO would be a safer and comfortabler choice and I wouldn't want to cheat on them. I just wouldn't find them any more sexually appealing than the uncle.

Just wondering, do you consider yourself aromantic, or autochorisromantic (if that's even a word people are using)?

I consider myself aroace. I personally find the word autochorisanything too unwieldy and hazy to be useful in common conversation, and the ace community is rife enough for parody as it is with the five hundred different subsets describing the different ways people experience asexuality. I find it useful to have a name for the experience it describes, though - I just don't see the need to include it when I describe myself.

But if you're wondering: yes, I have been known to read and enjoy sappy romances.

I get what you mean about autochorissexual being an unwieldy term, inviting parody. Unfortunately, as I've never really felt I fit in the general ace community I kinda feel the need to use autochorissexual, as it's the term that actually describes me.

The reason I wanted to know whether you experienced romance through fiction (or however) is because you seem pretty cool with your sexuality, whereas I'm not so cool with it. I accept it and am quite sure of it, but for me it's like being hungry but only being able to watch people eat (only worse). I have zero desire for casual dating/sex, but I long to be in love and lust with another person (while still simply not feeling that way about anyone). I thought maybe that was because I'm autochorisromantic. If the appetite for romance weren't there I doubt I'd have this struggle. But it sounds like you have a romantic appetite as well, so I guess my vague hypothesis was wrong. Oh well. :)

Huh. You know, I've never thought about that whole "enjoying fictional romance" as somehow at odds with the fact that romance is completely off my personal radar. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do about orientation, at any rate. I hope you find some kind of peace with it, eventually ♥
