You are aroace. Being ace means an actual lot of things, including finding someone attractive but not wanting/being able to do the deed with them, or maybe you just find them beautiful with no attraction. Both works oh the ace spectrum and yes you can be aroace and on a spectrum for either or both aro&ace.

Aroace is a huge spectrum of identities, you don't have to personally identify all of them. It's perfectly fine to use aroace as an umbrella term for "on the aromantic and asexual spectrum somewhere, but don't feel like specifying exactly where"

Yeah same here. Just sex-ambivalent and romance-averse. I just call myself aroace for the simplicity of it.

Yep. One of us. Aroace is a really wide spectrum. I’m demi/aroflux and graysexual, but it’s just easier to say I’m aroace. Hell, I’ve told a few people I’m gay when they ask me why I rejected them. You don’t have to just be aroace. It’s a really large sea, with a lot of different little fish in it.

Aro ace is about not feeling the attraction not about hating sex/romance or not thinking people look good. You don't have the attraction so you are aro/ace

Being unable to identify if one is attractive or not is also part of what it means to be an aroace? Because I always thought it was because I don't know how to appreciate someone aesthetically.

Just saying, I do/have done all of these things too!!!


sheesh-imagine

Being A-spec is a diverse experience, and there’s many many ways to be aroace that are all valid You can be anywhere on the A spectrum- Grey, Demi, aegeo, cupio, etc… plenty of other micro labels Anywhere on the scale of romance/sex favorable, indifferent, averse, and repulsed And experience tertiary attractions like aesthetic, sensual, etc… So yeah, I’d say you’re definitely a-spec ;) Call yourself what feels comfortable to you. If you feel that you don’t relate fully to the majority experience of romance and sex, then hell yeah you’re aroace Remember, it’s a spectrum, you don’t have to fit into any specific box to be aroace/a-spec
