Re: nayrt
(Anonymous) 2015-08-09 08:20 am (UTC)(link)I think that's a question worth digging into further rather than chalking it up to innate sexuality differences (or "I'll never understand this bizarre mindset because I'm asexual"). From what I read about the people you mention (people who are willing to pay, put up with crap, or endanger themselves for the chance to have sex with someone), the sex is actually usually not really about sex so much as romance, closeness, and acceptance. It seems like it's more about the desire for emotional/physical closeness, for a feeling of being desirable and fuckable, an indication of trust and being valued by that person. Not all people assign these kinds of meanings to sex, but if you do, I think it makes sense that attraction would follow.
Attraction is kind of like wishful thinking. A platonic version would be like, "Oh I wish I was closer to X. If we were BFF's we'd have sleepovers on the weekend and go over to each other's houses to play video games together" or whatnot. I think sexual attraction is just the sexual version of that? Or am I way off here?
