"Hey, that person is hot" is never how I have understood sexual attraction. There are many people I find physically attractive and have zero sexual interest in.

This comparison made some sense to me for expressing the difference:https://thingofthings.wordpress.com/2019/05/10/sexual-attraction-and-tide-pods/ …

Meh. I've never really connected with ozy's takes on sex. I can conceive of having sex with virtually anyone without finding it particularly repellant *and* I actually feel any flavor of *want* toward very few. I'm very tired of being "educated" about my own experience.

Okay, but then your experience might vary from that of normies (like me) in a significant way? My brain definitely has three different categories for "aesthetic body", "is a thing to have sex with" and "would choose to have sex with".

Maybe? I think it's really hard to compare internal experiences... my best guess is that my experience is pretty typical for (1) women, who are (2) cis, (3) unmarred by a lot of early sexual rules, & (4) unusually disagreeable. #4 is the one that makes me weird.

Disagreeableness matters because I actually think a lot *more* cis women without sexual hangups would fall into this category, but because they feel no real repulsion they sleep with a lot more people than they're attracted to.

It could be the case that visceral sexual revulsion is a lot more common in cis women than I suspect; that's sort of the crux of my claim. They know attraction will come in time if they get closer to someone, and if they feel they have to have sex to get close to anyone, welp...

Your suspicion might be true to some extent. https://uopnews.port.ac.uk/2015/06/24/disgust-dampens-womens-sexual-arousal-more-than-fear/ …
