Wait I'm confused, I don't mean to offend or anything but do you mean to want to have romantic and or sexual outlets irl?

I thought the whole being aroace meant that one is not interested in having a romantic/sexual relationship with anyone. Or is it just the idea of a relationship that you would want and that is why you'd want to be allo?

DA
aroace is just not feeling it. Not feeling attraction nor sexual nor romantic. Some people are just not interested but for me and I assume for AYRT it's interesting as a concept. And I also would like to have relationship, it would make my life so much easier. But I don't feel it!

I thought the whole being aroace meant that one is not interested in having a romantic/sexual relationship with anyone.

Not feeling attraction and not wanting to feel attraction are different things. Hypothetically, if someone was 100% straight but they lived in a world populated entirely by the same sex, they would still have feelings and desires, they just wouldn't have anyone to attach them to. That's kind of what it's like for me. I'm not attracted to anyone, but the want is still there, in a disembodied way. Shipping is the outlet for it, and I enjoy shipping very much. But it's really lonely not being able to build a life with someone, and not being able to participate in this huge aspect of life that so much societal emphasis is placed on.

Of course, it is possible to be aroace and build a life with another person, but it's extremely challenging for a number of reasons, and especially as someone who is sex-repulsed when it comes to sex that involves me in any way. My pool of potential partners is pretty much limited to fellow sex-repulsed aroace people, which is a small (and not very visible) pool.

Please keep in mind that not all aroace people feel the same way, though. I'm purely speaking for myself.
