"I think he's hot"
"I'm not personally sexually attracted to him"

Uh, isn't that kind of what that means?

[(Anonymous)]

It’s possible to get the aesthetics of why someone is attractive to most people without being attracted to them

[(Anonymous)]

I can't speak for op, but as an asexual I find people and characters hot without being attracted to them. It's just another form of beauty.

I totally get that (my best friend is asexual) but would you describe them as "hot"? I've always thought of "hot" as having a sexual componet, whereas thinking they're nice to look at but without any sexual aspect would be worded differently. Maybe I'm way off though.

Not really?

As an asexual person I've used that term quite a bit. Though it also has to be personality based, which is why I'm drawn to Ed myself.

But also there's a disconnect in my brain between like I wanna kiss them and I wanna have sex. Like there's levels there.

Interesting. Thanks for explaining.

Another ace person here, and I can really relate to this. In my case, the disconnect is between a general feeling of "nngghh" and actually wanting to have any sort of sexual or romantic contact with them. It's a weird thing that I've always struggled to explain, even to myself - the way I can be, like, inertly attracted to a character but not actively attracted to them. Like I can feel all wibbly about them, but if I try to imagine kissing or having sex with them, my brain is like, "...Um, no? Why are you even thinking about this, self? There is no there, there."

Another Ace here. I agree with this comment!

Also, we've been taught by the society to use the term "hot" for everything; but since I'm ace as hell I've never connected it with "want to have sex with", since I don't do that. For the longest time I didn't even realize that it was supposed to mean that. I just figured "hot" = attractive in one way or another, period.
On similar note, "I'd hit that" also means "That person is aesthetically pleasing and I'd cuddle the shit outta them. Dat body heat and softness!" XD
