(this may not make any sense, so I apologize for rambling)
Because I’ve seen several posts misunderstanding what ‘sexual attraction’ actually is, I thought I might attempt to clear up the confusion.
Let’s say you have never felt a desire to eat an apple. You feel neutral about the whole thing, but sometimes your partner makes apple fritters, and they ask you to try one, so you try one for them. You still don’t have the desire for one.
Or, maybe you don’t desire to eat an apple, but you eat them occasionally because you like the texture, and there’s nothing better to eat. You still don’t desire to actively go out and eat apples.
Or perhaps you don’t like eating apples, no matter what form they’re in, or who serves them to you. It doesn’t matter to you, you just don’t like them.
As you can see, I’m comparing the act of sex to the act of eating an apple. You can still have sex without actually feeling sexual attraction.
Could you folks maybe reblog this version instead, please?
