[personal] I have a lot of difficulty talking about my sexual orientation
elizertine
Mostly because I still haven't pinpointed it
elizertine
I only recently realized I wasn't alone in the way I think about it
elizertine
I guess this is one way Tumblr has really helped me
elizertine
I've thought I was asexual for a long time but I feel aesthetic and romantic attraction and I thought sexual attraction was a part of that
elizertine
But honestly both kinds of genitals make me uncomfortable?
Jae
Ahh, yes, there's a difference between being asexual and aromantic.
Jae
You can be interested in a relationship but not the sexual aspect of it!
elizertine
But I feel like if I say I'm asexual and panromantic people will be like 'well ur just a special snowflake bluh bluh ur rong'
elizertine
Ugh sometimes I feel bad for not just having figured it out earlier on
Jae
I don't think you should feel bad. And I don't think it's a special snowflake thing either, because you're basically panromantic without the desire for a sexual relationship.
Jae
Some people are not ready for something sexuality or ever will be and aren't comfortable, so we should just respect their preference, you know? I'm incredibly asexual myself.
Jae
And your preferences are a big part of relationships, which can be monumental, so it's good to think about it, even if you believe it came too late.
elizertine
Yeah I always thought I was just a 'late bloomer,' since I wasn't interested in genitals and was a lot more interested in raunchy cuddling than actual sex
elizertine
But I think I'm asexual

Genitals are weird and sometimes nasty even people who like sex think that sometimes.
elizertine
Yeah I'm still trying to figure things out
