It's a hard thing to figure out! I've felt what I would describe as physical attraction because it's definitely not just emotional, their looks definitely factor into it, but it's not *sexual* if that makes any sense. It's more of just an aesthetic thing, that I like the way they look but it still has nothing to do with wanting to have sex with them. And I kind of feel like there have been people I would describe as having had chemistry with, but more on a platonic level. And honestly I'm *still* not sure I understand what sexual attraction is. The closest I can figure is looking at someone and wanting to have sex with them, which is not something I've ever felt. I suppose I still could but who knows.

It sounds like we're about the same age, and I think I have kind of a similar thing as far as attraction being hard to recreate although with me it's more on an emotional level. Like there was this guy that I knew that I thought I sort of had a bit of a crush on for awhile, we have a lot of things in common, and I've even gotten the vibe that he was maybe asexual too from a couple things he's said, but then the next time I saw him it was like whatever it was was totally gone and I can't explain it.

I say that but honestly if I met the right person I probably wouldn't mind living together. Sometimes I think if we were in some parallel world where being asexual was common and it easy to find a compatible partner, I would want the whole "traditional" marriage and kids thing, just with an asexual guy and no sex but then I think even in that theoretical world I'd only be doing it because I thought that was what I should do.

You're right about the dating thing. People in our generation seem to be way more focused on sex than previous generations, or I guess maybe now it's just more out in the open and easier with the whole hookup culture and social media and everything. And the pathologizing thing makes me sad. I have a friend who has a (much older) boyfriend who has a really low sex drive and listening to her constant rants about how sick and dysfunctional and fucked up he is is so damn depressing.

Thanks! I hope you find what you want too!
