These insights are really helpful, thank you! I wanted to hear personal experiences because I guess it’s just not there for me yet and I’m stressed it won’t be. Since it’s not there, it’s hard to tell if I’m mistaking it

Also this is coming from a possible demisexual who has never gotten close enough to form the emotional bond

Sexual attraction is you like how they look and would like to see all of them, you have a desire to have sex with the person. It typically can be spotted immediately but for some people it will develop slower over time. Aesthetic attraction is just comfort while looking at them or finding it pleasing, similar to finding something cute or a painting beautiful.

Good question! I’ve literally been feeling attraction to people since the age of 5. When I was a kid it was that I “just wanted to be friends with them”. As I got older, the sexual side of it came along but it just happens. Could be their looks, personalities, but it just boils up inside of u and u can’t help but like them. It’s actually pretty freaking annoying sometimes 😭 like why tf do people gotta be so attractive to me lmao 🥀

I usually start off with looks and features I tend to be drawn to. Usually very sudden, but then I take a step back. But that’s just for initial attraction. I care more about personality; someone who can communicate clearly, puts in effort, and is kind. I won’t engage with someone, even if they’re physically attractive, if they’re not the greatest of people.
