Just a guess, but I would imagine that means he's attracted to the same sex, but also has little-to-no interest in the act of sex itself _________________ 2023 Chart

If one is both aromantic AND asexual tho I'd consider that attraction to be nothing short of, say, admiring a nice sunset. Surely even a heterosexual person can admire the physical attributes of their own gender and not be gay, I'd say the same for an asexual - but I'm interested in hearing his response nonetheless. _________________ ~❅ ❄ ❆ hµM△₪ FESTIVE †®å§h ❆ ❄ ❅~
A bit late, but it's the 61st anniversary of the death of Alan Turing, a scientist, mathematician, and logician who was sentenced to hormonal treatment to reduce libido due to his homosexuality in 1952. He committed suicide on this day in 1954. It's a tragic shame that social inequality like this existed, but the silver lining is that in 61 years, society's views on non-heterosexuality has become tons more liberal.
Rest in peace Alan Turing.
Coincidentally I watched The Imitation Game recently; the film wasn't that good but it's a devastating story nonetheless.

So I'm attracted to guys as in I get sexually aroused when I see guys that are cute. So it's different from admiring a beautiful painting or a great album because there is an element of arousal to it.
The reasons why I think I'm somewhat asexual are twofold.
Firstly, I have little interest in partaking in sexual activity, at least so far in my life.
Secondly, sex and relationships that whole thing doesn't really occupy as much of my mind as it appears to me to be occupying the minds of others. I reckon that I think about such things much less than others do. Sometimes it seems like all I hear is "any guys?" this and "who're you dating?" that and "Oooo isn't he gorgeous!" and I feel rather unable to empathize with this. This stuff just rarely crosses my mind. It's all very unimportant to me and I feel very different and alone in this respect.
So I think there's also an element of aromanticism going on as well.
To be honest, I find this a little hard to talk about (writing this was surprisingly uncomfortable) and I have only briefly brought it up with a very close friend of mine.
I feel like these sorts of feelings are the "new gay" in a way. I feel that people, by and large, don't get it. I'm not that open about it for fear of being judged as abnormal or emotionally damaged or cold or whatever.
Sex and the emotional aspect of intimate relationships are put on such a pedestal in our society. What are people like me supposed to do?
