"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.

This feels more to me about education about the experiences of others? A lot of the discourse around gender ID and attraction is emphatically against assuming the experience of the reader ( in my experience ).

The sentiment was pointed toward the top-level tweet -- it's just super weird having someone else tell you you're wrong about what sexual attraction is. I guess I won't be super surprised if the rest of this convo devolves into "how can we label Mason?"

I get that. From my perspective: mainstream sexual culture is increasingly inhospitable to any sort of sexual complexity for straight[ish] people, and there's a simultaneous explosion of queer theory territory that seems to *almost* just capture "I'm a complicated human."

It increasingly feels like — within the circles I find myself in — without a set of labels to protect yourself, you're just assumed to be DTF. There's a sense in which "monogamous sapio-demi-bisexual" isn't *wrong,* but it's too reductive. I feel some resentment about it.

And also, approximately the last thing I'm interested in is getting in the equivalent of a dick-measuring contest with people who identify as demisexual about how few people we fuck. I just want to be able to date without it being the living nightmare it always is, every time
