Can't answer the follow up question being Ace/Aro[footnote]Aexual/Aromanic[footnote]Lack interested in romantic partnerships[/footnote][/footnote]. Although, I do consider my Bestfriend/Squish[footnote]Aro/Ace term for platonic crush or really intense friendship.[/footnote] my Platonic Life Partner, if I was Demi, I'd definitely be in love with her based on relationship status.Bocaj2000 said:[]|:{

1) But, there are a couple of scales of Asexuality; demi, Grey, Aro. So, Asexuality can be anything from low to non existent sexual drive, or even sexual drive based on emotional attraction.
2) There's actually a word for someone who is "Normal", as in someone who experiences attraction based on physical traits. Can't recall what it is at this moment, if you dig around Ace forums and such, you'll probably encounter it.
3) Not sure for a good answer for it, but Asexuality is my sexual orientation. I don't feel physical attraction to any genders or persons. I do have a sexual "preference" and that preference is "Nope", thus I am not straight, gay or anything else.
4) I think the opposite would be just general sexuality (as in feeling it) or maybe Pansexuality? Take that with a grain of salt.
I think the best way to describe Asexuality and how it feels would be, you know that feeling when you see something really aesthetically pleasing? Such as fine art or maybe a really nice lamp? I feel like that all the time, but towards people. I know what's attractive in a typical sense but have no drive to be sexual with it or even be in a relationship[footnote]Not all Aces are Aromanic, thus they have romantic partnerships[/footnote]. Honestly, I've done double takes with a drop dead gorgeous car more often than a drop dead gorgeous person.
