I Understand Now... · 11:10pm Feb 16th, 2021
For years, I've felt like I was different from everybody else. And by that, I'm not just talking about the fact that I have Asperger syndrome. I'm talking about a very different topic... Romance and sex.
You know about those romantic movies where a guy falls in love with a girl and does everything he can to win her heart? Or those explicit stories where two people make out and do stuff, if you know what I mean? I've got nothing against those kinds of movies or stories, but I'm not... affected by them. I don't feel anything. Same goes for real life. I've never had romantic feelings for anyone or the desire to have sex. As a matter of fact, I literally can't get turned on unless I'm exposed to my fetish (which is SFW, mind you). Plus, I hate lust and the things associated with it.
But yesterday, I was browsing the internet when I came upon something that may have enlightened me...
A term known as asexuality. It's defined as "the quality or characteristic of having no sexual feelings or desires." Furthermore, I found another term, the word aromantic: "a person who has no interest in or desire for romantic relationships."
Turns out I never was weird or an outcast. I'm just an aromantic asexual... Well, one who has a fetish but won't join a fetish group because of the explicit and immoral stuff in most of them.
I guess I'm pretty much the same.
