This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'll need that explained more if you don't mind.

I thought the whole point of asexual was you're just not interested in sex or anything relevant to that?

Ace is about sexual attraction, not interest in sex. You can be ace and love sex and you can be allo and be sex repulsed.

So, technically speaking, an ace individual cannot find someone sexy? They can have sex with someone for the sake of having sex, be it for bond or pleasure or whatnot, but from what you're saying they do not show any sexual attraction towards any demographic of people?

Basically.

There are grey-aces (whom are still aces; black-stripe ace sometimes is used to refer to those with no sexual attraction) whom experience some sexual attraction some of the time.

But there's a lot of aces who are surprised to realize sexual attraction is something people actually experience.

Can I be a grey heterosexual if I only fuck guys some of the time?

You could be one whether it have sex people with never or often.
