Hey there! The latest thing I’m trying to collect data about is romance repulsion. This survey aims to discover the most common causes and affects of romance repulsion as well as whether these differ between those of us who have experienced a romantic relationship and those who haven’t. 

I would encourage you to take this if you identify on the aromantic spectrum, even if you don’t experience romance repulsion, so that the data gathered is representative of the entire community.

Different types of attractions

When we talk about attraction, many people immediately jump to the conclusion of sexual attraction. It's the one we hear the most about, after all, and so we assume that it's the only one that's out there, but that's not the case at all.

There are some different types of attraction, and each one of them is important to who we each are as individuals. Each of these types of attraction leads us to different people and helps us to become the person we are.

Sexual Attraction

This is the one that we hear about the most,and it's the one that most people think of as soon as they hear the word 'attraction.' It's about looking at someone and feeling something toward them in a sexual way. We think this about our sexual partner and hopefully the one that we choose to spend our lives with as well. But you may also feel sexual attraction to other people around you. It is a desire toward sexual touching and activity with another person. The level of strength of those feelings and their occurrence,however, could vary from person to person.

Romantic Attraction

This is entirely separate from sexual attraction though you may feel them for the same person. This type of attraction is where you want to be in a relationship with the person. You may want to be with them without necessarily wanting the sexual aspect of the relationship. This isn't the same as friendship,however, and the feelings will be stronger than the attraction you would feel toward a friend (we'll get to that later). In this type of attraction, you want to be romantically involved with the individual,but sex is not required.

Physical Attraction

Also called sensual attraction, this is a desire to be around others, to be physically cared for and treated with love and affection. It can occur with romantic relationships,but it doesn't have to. When we are children,we have a level of physical attraction to our parents who hug and cuddle us. As we grow older, we may develop these types of relationships with our friends. These are attractions and desires for physical contact but those types of contact that are non-sexual. You may feel a desire for your friend to hug you when you've had a bad day, for example, this is an example of physical attraction.

Emotional Attraction

This is where you want to be emotionally present with another person. When you want to share with them the things that you are feeling you feel an emotional attraction. You may have this with friends, family or romantic partners (or you may have some level of it with all three). Having healthy emotional attachments and feeling as though you can share your feelings with others is extremely important and it makes for a healthier lifestyle. You should have several people that you feel you can share your emotions and feelings with.

Aesthetic Attraction

Finally, this type of attraction is what happens when you see someone walking down the street and think that they look good. Many of us look at celebrities this way and think that they are cute, hot, gorgeous, insert favorite descriptive term here. This type of attraction is not the same as physical attraction or sexual attraction because you may feel no desire to touch or be touched by the person that you find aesthetically pleasing. You simply notice the way that they look much in the way you might notice when someone has a nice car or when there is a sculpture in front of a building. It doesn't mean that there can't be a physical or sexual attraction at the same time, but there is not necessarily.

How many aces have thought this?

Update:

Please answer this. It would be amazing if you did.

[splendid-ace]

Saying ace isn’t a real sexuality bc asexual people don’t feel sexual attraction is like saying 0 isn’t a number because it doesn’t express a physical amount

There’s a nifty thing you can do with asexual people it’s called

Respect

[splendid-ace]

You haven't done anything wrong if someone catches feelings for you and you can't reciprocate. You never owe someone else romantic feelings.

A-spec allies exist. People who will care about you and also respect your a-spec identitity exist.
