But I spent hours picking the perfect shade 🙁
note to self: when dating someone who´s asexual, don´t bother spending money on fancy undies, invest into yummy cakes instead 😉
“In sexy underoos” made me laugh more than thinking about cake frosting… I’m even stranger than I thought. <3
That second panel is exactly my reaction to seeing someone being all scantily clad and whatnot.
My autochorissexual (http://asexuals.wikia.com/wiki/Autochorissexual) response is to that is, “That is some nice sexual energy they are sending at me. Is there some way I can appreciate that energy without having sex with them?”
Note: I don’t actually like the word autochorissexual (hard to pronounce, hard to remember + the meaning of the word does not effectively connect to the experience). If anyone has alternatives I’d love to hear them.
Ooh thank you for sharing, that’s interesting. I’ve never bumped into autochorissexuality before. 🙂 If you find a word that fits better, let us know!
I tried to start a conversation about that in a different forum, but a bunch of people jumped in to rant about how there are too many labels and shut down the conversation. The one thing I did glean from that conversation is that there is a broader category of libidinist asexuals that this term would (mostly) fit into. It doesn’t carry all of the nuance that this one has, but as far as a term to communicate with others it has multiple benefits (pronounce-ability, the label and the meaning have a clear connection).
Very cool, that’s nice that there’s a good subcategory. Rubbish that people shut the conversation down though. >:(
