4. what are some features of others that arouse them, or they find arousing in a sexual situation?

I thought I remembered this question, and as it turns out, I've answered it before here! It's been a while, but it all still holds up as of 2.1.

But I wanna add a little something more since just linking that and not adding much else feels like cheating when there's more I could say.

In looking back at that, though it does still hold up, it's not a complete answer. From a purely physical standpoint, if he were to make a list of what Aventurine finds attractive and arousing, it'd be as follows: nice hair, pretty eyes, physically fit, a little muscle, perhaps an air of mystery about them since that's a likely sign of intelligence and/or someone being more than what they appear (which would indicate to him that they could likely keep up with him and maybe even give him a run for his money, and he likes that).

However, re-reading that previous answer and thinking about some of his recent interactions has helped me realize that he really wants someone he can feel a connection with on some level, whether that's intellectually, emotionally, or both. Sure, he'll have a one-night stand with someone he finds physically attractive so long as it's all consensual, but that's something reserved for when he's in desperate need of that kind of stress relief or if it'll further some scheme of his in the long run, and only if he's not in a committed relationship. He doesn't sleep around just to sleep around.

As a quick tangent—I've been debating over it for a while (aka since within the first week or so of me writing Aventurine here on tumblr), but given that his preferences and desires are what they are, I'm gonna call it and say that he's demisexual with a tendency to prefer men.

All that said, regardless of gender, he appreciates the attitude and emotions his partner directs at him and brings to situations of intimacy. When his partner is into it and he can tell, it both arouses him and makes his heart sing. For an answer that focuses more on the physical, just to add a little more in that regard, if he's with someone he loves, everything about them is arousing to him—their touch, their eyes, their voice, their muscles and curves, their breath on his skin—all of it.
