I read one person describing it like body maintenence or upkeep. So there's no real mental component but the body has all the programing and it still physically feels good.

That's what it feels like for me. Regularly, like clock work, the hormones cycle around and it's something else to take care of. Like it's time to get a wax or teeth cleaning, except it feels nicer.

To me that would be more like aromantic rather than asexual? I guess I don't really understand the terms. But I would think aromantic would be not interested in romance whereas asexual would be not interested in sex.

Aces can absolutely be interested in sex. Sex can be decoupled not only from romance but from attraction as well.

Ah, okay. So then what term would you use for someone who was interested in sex but not romance/relationships?

(Anonymous) 2023-12-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
DA but as far as I understand it that would be aromantic. You can be an aromantic asexual or aromantic sexual person.

AYRT

What anon above me said. You can be both aromantic and asexual.

Aro - is attracted to people sexually, not interested in relationships

Ace - not attracted to people sexually, is interested in relationship (and, depending on the individual, some will be fine having sex in a relationship)

Aroace - not attracted to people for sex or relationships

Demiace - is attracted to one person after forms have been filled out in triplicate and then sacrificed on the Gavle goat when it is burned down

Aromantic isn't interested in romance. Asexual does not feel sexual attraction but can feel romantic feelings or want a romantic relationship.

What is romance?

(Anonymous) 2023-12-12 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
DA

Ardent (displaying or characterized by strong enthusiasm or devotion; fervent.) emotional attachment or involvement between people; love.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-12 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt. So asexual people can't feel attachement to others, like family etc? I think your definition is wrong. That's sociopat you describing.

I ask because all the aromantic folk I met are full of bullshit and unable to articulate what it is.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-12 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
that's.... that's not what that says...???

a) you asked about romance. asexual people are not aromantic and
b) notice that it doesn't say romance is "attachment". it is ARDENT EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT.

so you not only reduced fervent devotion to "attachment" you also returned to talking about asexuals when the topic was aromantics.

also, just because someone can't articulate something that doesn't mean they're full of shit. i hope you're never allowed near mentally handicapped people.
