  1. Only in a locker room type setting. Or sometimes I'll use the toilet while my mother is having a bath.
  2. The protagonist of Heartless is explicitly asexual, and reading between the lines I think she's probably aromantic too. She doesn't seem to have ever fallen in love, and it seems unlikely that she will soon. (She's also a newly-turned vampire in Victorian England, whose asexuality makes her immune to the vampires' mind control ability.)
  3. I've been questioning my romantic orientation, and one label I came across was cupioromantic - someone who doesn't feel romantic attraction but strongly desire a romantic relationship. I'm still trying to sort out exactly what that means and if it fits me. During my search, I came across this AVEN thread. This person asked cupioromantics and aromantics to fill out a quiz that she came up with. Here are the questions and my answers. Usually not. There are a few fictional relationships I like, but most I hate, to the point where I usually won't even try a book if it has two MCs of the opposite sex described on the back blurb. Among the few I've liked, I don't really see myself in them. But then I don't tend to identify with fiction in general. I like some things and dislike other things. I don't think I experience romantic attraction though. Yes. The only people who've shown any interest in me have been asexual-denying, overly pushy heterosexual guys, and the idea of being romantically involved with them is horrific. But I'd like if I met someone compatible. Never had a romantic relationship, so I don't know. I'd like a co-parent when I have a child (I'm planning on having one), and as an autistic person with independent living issues, living with a supportive person would be very practical. But I also want someone for emotional support and companionship. Maybe? If I didn't like them as a person, then no. But if I did, I think I'd like that. I've never been in that situation though. Either one, yes. For scientific purposes, yes. But I don't think I'd like to actually feel it. I hate losing control. I'd like to be somewhere in between, I think. Or else an aromantic person who is also a loner with no real interest in forming any kind of close relationship. I can, but it makes me a bit sad. Especially once my parents are dead, I'm afraid I'll be lonely. Yes, definitely. Sometimes it does. But it also sounds unpleasant in a lot of ways - being rejected, figuring out how to reject them, date rape, worrying about what they think, having incompatible dreams, etc. What about you guys?
  4. I got a 20, based on a mix of squishes and how I'd imagine that I would feel if I was in a romantic relationship. So I guess I'm in the aromantic range.
  5. There's also transabled people. They feel dysphoria around not having a certain disability, most often feeling like a certain limb isn't supposed to be there and they want it removed. So that would be another way that a cis person could feel body dysphoria.
