I thought "aro" meant no interest or feelings of romance? OP specifies they like the pairing in a romantic way.

NAYRT - A lot of aro/ace people enjoy fictional romance and/or smut. I love fictional romance and smut, particularly when it's between my OTP. My OTP fucking is hot; my OTP being in love is awesome; I just don't want any of it to involve me at all.

Thanks for answering! I knew that about ace people but the only aro people I've met have taken the "no interest" all the way and preferred their pairings to be platonic.

DA

Oh yeah. It's like... a lot of people read fiction about things they're uninterested in for themselves, sort of thing?

If I watch a movie about rock-climbing, I don't necessarily want to take that up as a hobby.

I'm not the person you're replying to, so I'm not sure if it applies to them but you can not be interested in romance personally but still be interested in reading about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for being kind in the reply! The only aro people I know take the no interest thing to apply to all aspects, they hate that shipping is such a big thing in fandom and don't like romance (or smut) at all so I was kind of extrapolating and generalizing from them. Should have known better!

DA I have always loved romance as a concept, and in fiction... this is a major reason why it took me a long time to accept myself as ace, let alone aroace.

I love romance, just not as it applies to me!

[(Anonymous)]

Guess it varies. Aside from not connecting with romance, myself, I usually find romance between other people about as boring as watching paint dry. But a lot of people who are capable of writing interesting character dynamics and vivid sex scenes seem to think it would be indecent to write those things without including some sort of courtship, or spilling ink on the premise that the characters love each other. I just skim the parts that leave me cold and slow down when it gets interesting again.

But then, I'm aromantic and allosexual, whereas most of the people writing about being aro are also ace.
