Sad aro Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I guess that if you should define as arospec or not, depends on if you feel that it's helpful for you or not. A delimitation should be used to argue to the rest of society why we need an arospec awareness and avoid misunderstandings like "by rights, everyone is on the arospec", not to gatekeep within the community. At the same time, we should rise awareness that allos also are on a romantic spectrum and can be fluid. No human is static.

Agree romantic spectrum is a useful term for society in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I identified as orchidromantic for a while, because during my questioning phase I was trying to parse out if my past alterous attraction was romantic attraction, but soon I realized the identity didn't really speak to my experience when I found I didn't experience romantic attraction at all, not even when I was younger. The spectrum is valid and it would be cool to hear orchidromantic experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
