Re: Um

[sarillia]

Makes sense to me. Heterosexual=attraction to different sex, homosexual=attraction to same sex, bisexual=attraction to both same and different sex, asexual=attraction to no sex.

These are the definitions I always go back to because they make the most sense to me. I don't like basing it on behavior because people act out of line with their orientation all the time (whether through experimenting or trying to conform to expectations or whatever). I don't think going by the desire to have sex makes sense either because you can be attracted to someone but not actually want to have sex with them or vice versa and that conscious desire to sleep with someone rather than a simple physical attraction seems a lot more complicated and influenced by outside factors.

See, that's what I don't get. The best definition I've been able to find for sexual attraction is that it makes you want to have sex with someone. If being sexually attracted to someone LITERALLY MEANS you want to have sex with them, how can you be sexually attracted to someone without wanting to have sex with them?

I don't know, the whole thing is just confusing to me.

Imagine the difference between 1) seeing a chocolate cake and thinking it looks good to eat and 2) seeing a chocolate cake and thinking it looks good to eat and definitely wanting to eat.

You might be interested in the chocolate cake because it looks like the kind of thing that would taste good to you, but you might not feel hungry at the moment or you're hungry for something else or you know there could be negative consequences to eating the chocolate cake, and so on, so you can think the cake looks good to eat without necessarily actually, truly wanting to eat the cake.

You can find someone physically attractive but hate their personality and want nothing to do with them with or without clothes on. Just for one example.

Re: Um

I'm not asexual, but I feel like there's kinds of attraction. Like, I can be superficially or emotionally attracted to someone but not want to get sexual with them. The feelings aren't platonic, it's definitely a crush, just not a crush that would be satisfied with sex (and the thought of sex with them kind of ruins the appeal). And there's people I'm sexually attracted to who I would never actually want to talk to or hang out with or even...be around for extended periods of time, there's no emotional attraction there.

SA - "different kinds of attraction", ugh

Re: Um

Then I must not be a lesbian since I only want to have sex with SOME women. Or there are people I'm attracted to but repulsed by enough that I wouldn't go to bed with them.
