  • allo-sexual sounds a bit like being attracted to curious french greetings to me lolol I think that this will help me remember the concept. I feel like people attracted to those with foreign accents might even fit such a category in some cases unless I am misunderstanding the concept completely still which seems very plausible to me also since I haven’t even looked up any info on the term yet


  • thank you for teaching me what I was just wondering about for the second time, after coming to the crisp realization that all I needed was the alternative category(-ies) which could be expected to then also exist other than the asexual branch of methodology/pathology (idk if I am using words correctly here either, lolol number man no use good speak much here). I was about to venture a guess that certainly slurs were not the correct categorization, and that perhaps “sexual” was the other categorization, however I expected that that was unlikely because it also sounds strange as a noun to me



  • can’t just go and tell me I need to relearn words again!

    /s thanks for the info!! Though it makes me sort of think that anyone who isn’t asexual are essentially all “sluts” by this definition (sexually attracted to everyone around them above some personally maintained arbitrary threshold of determining attractiveness??) but I will continue to try and care both more and less about the specificities of the terms and just continue to try to take pleasure in the fact that me knowing them (or trying to have learned them at least) might provide some sense of inclusion to someone down the road [that has experienced their sexual awakening in one of the myriad of different ways possible, rather than a way in which I somehow am already familiar with which in reality seems considerably unlikely for how young/antisocial I am, or have generally been, throughout my life so far], or possibly someday help me better explain my own feelings or experiences to someone else later on, who might also know about such nuances of sexual orientation, or have had similar experiences/feelings in their life but were lacking specific words for them









  • whenever someone suggest to me that I should “focus on my breathing” it has always had that same effect to me as the meme that goes along the lines of “you suddenly realize that your tongue has never truly had a comfortable place to rest in your mouth”-type of feeling to me during my conscious attempts to control the rate at which I am breathing. esp when there’s someone trying to be a narrator type persona delivering the suggestion, and even more so if I start to feel (for whatever reason) that there is some sort of hope/expectation mixed in with their instruction, that I will be able to safely demonstrate the execution of such a simple yet unfamiliar feat in the moment of suggestion.
