    I'm curious as to whether us aros are comfortable with being naked around others. It was inspired by this post on AVEN.

     

    Personally, I can only be naked if it's practical, or if I'm comfortable with everyone in the room at the time.

    That's pretty much the same reason for me. I don't like my body so the amount of skin exposure I give depends on how comfortable I am with others and if it's required in certain circumstances or situations.

  2. I've enjoyed danganronpa v3 the most (all the characters were interesting and balance each other out sometimes)

    My favorites in the Dangan Ronpa series are Chihiro, Chiaki, Kirigiri, Maki, Peko, Ryoma, and Shuichi

     

  3. Short version: Yes

     

    Long version: I've really enjoyed the characters' developments from their struggles and the mystery that is mostly involved with Steven. In my opinion, the show portrays a more accepting world where everyone seems less concerned with gender and more of the catastrophe/invasion that happens from time to time (if I remember correctly). Other than that and the art, the music is also pretty nice to listen to.

  4. From reading a book called, "Was That Really Me?" by Naomi L. Quenk, I'm torn between INTP and ISTP

    Edit: On the 16personalities test, I often get INTJ, INTP, and ISTJ (IxTx seems to be the only thing consistent)

  5. I barely self-teach myself to play guitar (this instrument is bigger than me and making me re-consider getting a smaller size or just settle for a ukulele).

    I'm still interested in learning to play instruments that specifically have strings (not sure why but yeah) and piano since I have pretty small hands. The only main problem is that I play a few music notes for fun instead of making efficient practice. 

  6. Your scores:

    • Care 69%
    • Fairness 67%
    • Purity 56%
    • Loyalty 42%
    • Authority 44%
    • Liberty 58%

    Your strongest moral foundation is Care.

    Your morality is closest to that of a Left-Liberal.

     

    Not sure how accurate this test is since some of the statements either don't provide enough details or doesn't expose the motive of the person/situation. Maybe they'll make it more consistent in the future? Idk some of these are pretty weird and makes me feel judgemental for trying to decide sometimes.

    I got highest care as well, but I kept wanting more information on the questions. Like, do they know how to cook the dog meat? When Sarah gets drunk at the bar, is she drunk enough to not consent or is this question about polyamory? When the parents buy all the action figures, don't most of the kids in the class already have them and might'nt Timmy share his own toys with his friends? When Tom sleeps with another woman, was exclusivity implied and this was a case of cheating because of semantics, or did he think they were in an open relationship? In Emma and Cindy's job, what type of industry is it, because some industries like modelling or face-to-face social industries would benefit from increased 'traditional' attractiveness? When Brian argues with law enforcement, is it because he's trying to get out of something illegal or protesting for his rights or... what is this situation? With Bob and Pam and the money distribution, what are there ages, who has done the most work, will their father redistribute if he finds out Bob has done it unfairly xD? I just... ergh

     

    Yeah, I was just thinking the same when going through these questions because I can't help but question what info is missing and the "what-ifs". I left a couple of middle neutral picks because of this instead of an "OK" and "Not OK".

    Title says all. I know I'm some sort of aromantic, but I think I'm kissing-averse. I think (THINK) I'm allosexual though. Is it possible to be allosexual and kissing-averse? Does that mean kissing is a romantic thing? 

     

    And finally, uh, if I ever have sex, should I simply tolerate the kissing part to get to the other stuff??

    Personally, I don't think you have to tolerate kissing if you don't like it. Even I'm not really enthusiastic about kissing.

    Also, nonmerci pretty much said what I thought as well.

    Personally I see it as a sensual thing, not romantic or sexual.

    But to be honest I think it all depends on the context. 

    It all comes down to intention in my opinion.

    When I was 12 a boy from my class tried to confess to me. Long story short, he told me to wait for him after the last period. I felt so nervous and uncomfortable, I pretended to be unwell and asked the teacher to let me leave 15 mins earlier. On my way home I was hitting my hand against every tree and pole that was in the way. I wanted to break my arm and not have to go to school for a couple of months. I wasn’t able to do it. But next day it turns out the boy got the message.

    No one has time for that. I wouldn't have any problem rejecting someone but I also don't understand the whole confession process either (tfw some romantic anime/movie cliche can be real is still bizarre to me). Why anyone would wait for a confession is beyond me ?

  10. 10 Acts of Service

    9 Quality Time

    5 Words of Affirmation

    4 Physical Touch

    2 Receiving Gifts

     

    Result + Definition:

     

    Acts of Service
    Can helping with homework really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words he or she most wants to hear: “Let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter. When others serve you out of love (and not obligation), you feel truly valued and loved.
    Quality Time Quality Time
    In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Whether itʼs spending uninterrupted time talking with someone else or doing activities together, you deepen your connection with others through sharing time.
    Words of Affirmation Words of Affirmation
    Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important— hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. You thrive on hearing kind and encouraging words that build you up.
    Physical Touch Physical Touch
    A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, and thoughtful touches on the arm—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Appropriate and timely touches communicate warmth, safety, and love to you.
    Receiving Gifts Receiving Gifts
    Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are heartfelt symbols to you of someone else's love and affection for you.

    Was there ever a final list put together from this thread?  I think this is an awesome idea and one that I had nebulously considered a while back, but never really followed up on.  I've found myself considering the kinds of things I'd be OK with doing with someone in a QPR constantly whenever I'm around people in romantic relationships while they're doing their romance-y thing.  This is a very comprehensive list, good job.

     

    As some of the others have said though, I think you might need more than just Y/N/M.  Some of these I have never done (i.e. slept in the same bed while hugging someone) so I really have no idea whether I'd be OK with it or not.  Sometimes it depends on context (i.e. sitting on someone's lap when seating is limited is fine, but doing so when there are free seats available kind of feels weird and edging into sappy, romance-y territory)....

    I agree. It can be hard to determine that with just a "yes" or "no". There are at least half of the things on the list that I have never experienced myself either with possibly the same going for the other person.

    The list is good for keeping me on my toes and becoming more aware that this could happen or have already been done by those who are comfortable with these activities.

  12. I ate really good tonkatsu ramen that gives three toppings of choice. Because my sister and her bf were there, we got to share more than that amount (beansprouts, bamboo, red ginger, and egg).

    The takoyaki appetizer also tasted great with the noodles.

  13. I'm ok with nudity around family I'm comfortable with (as in we both know each other for so long that we mutually don't mind each other being naked) and it depends on the place. Saunas/spas and gym locker rooms seem like it would be common for people to be undressed for shower/cleaning purposes.

    In the end, I can do it (in fact, I remember having to be the first person to undress/change in the locker despite it not really counting as full nudity when we were told that was what we have to do in my middle school days before heading out for P.E.) but that doesn't mean I'll want to around just anyone.

    Although I do generally consider myself as asexual, I do have to say that I'm still a little confused. It's hard say if this sexual attraction or just fetishism, but I have always held some sort of... let's say "erotic appreciation" for the male form. The idea of being naked and having close contact with another guy does sound appealing to me, but the idea of having sex... not so much. Ideally I'd like to be naked with another guy who feels the same way as me because I don't know how I would deal with someone who only sees being naked and snuggling as a means to and end (sex) rather than an end in itself.

    I can see myself enjoying the intimacy of being naked with someone I trust without actually having sex although it doesn't sound that practical in the first place unless it's a really hot day maybe...Or a shower?

    The Mummy used to terrify me, especially when (in the sequel I think) scarabs used to burst out of the peoples' skin?

    Omg, yes the mummy's scarab part haunted me in my childhood ?

    Other than the specific part in The Mummy, I was mostly scared or rather creeped out by the episode in Goosebumps with the mask. I can't think of a movie off the top of my head yet.

  15. Early signs that I was aro

    • In fourth grade, my tutor once asked me what type of guy I would be interested in. I basically gave her a description of a future room mate who can either clean, cook, or be responsible as possible. When she gave a second question of what I would do if he was tired from chores, I replied that I would help him. The tutor laughed.
    • The first time I was asked if I had a crush in my elementary days, I assumed it was about who I liked interacting with or thought was funny rather than who I want to date or marry. As I grew older and have that question repeated, I said, "no" and gain various reactions from shock to being called, "cold" or "prudish" for not seeking a romantic relationship.
    • During my high school to mid-college years, I've had teachers, classmates, etc. who tried to ship or convince me to date my best friend since middle school and I've hated it.
    • Every time I'm told someone has a crush on me or been confessed to, I wish they haven't.
    • Whenever I play a game that's supposed to be about romance, I view it in a third person/detached perspective and will easily lose interest if the gameplay is not fun no matter how attractive the character is. (May or May not have been an indication)
    • In fiction or not, I'm not jealous of what the partner does but I will feel neglected/hurt if our friendship is treated with less value.
    • I don't understand weddings and find it boring despite the impressive details.
    • Last but not least, I thought people were joking about being possessive over fictional characters or others before.

  16. I headcanon Saiki Kusuo (from Saiki Kusuo no Sai Nan/The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.) as aro and ace because he doesn't seem to have any strong opinions nor strong desire to have any sort of relationship with other characters despite helping them from time to time. He enjoys having his own space while eating sweets.
