Hi! I'm autoromantic/autoerotic/autosexual - so glad that I'm not the only one - and I realize that a lot of people don't understand it and minimize or disregard it. I mean, it's not as if I'll show up with a new sexual partner someday. So why am I posting this? Because of the guilt and shame I felt until I discovered that it's a real and legitimate orientation on the Asexual spectrum, worthy of the same respect held for others on the spectrum. And since it's made such a huge positive change for me, I hope to boost awareness just a bit for the benefit of others who need the understanding and the "label."

Comfortably autosexual, I was in a conversation with a very wise and experienced person who asked many questions and helped me see the bit about me that I was denying or suppressing. If I were open to a relationship with another person...turns out I'd be gay. "Ha! Preposterous," says I...a transvestite with beautifully painted red toenails...🤣
And I'm STILL having all the not-fun of coming out that I'd have if I declared myself gay. (Delayed-reaction fallout in my family). Not seeking to be understood any more than I already have, willing to accept myself, still, though, looking at myself in the figurative mirror with questions in my eyes. All arguments lost, and still (s)he tries to be the equivalent of just a little bit pregnant. Somebody take that gurl out to dinner to soothe the pain. Wait, that would be me. Never mind. :LMAO: |
