I did go through some processing with regard to how I look at women, what is sexual attraction, what is aesthetic attraction, and is there a component of wanting to be them. No, not really. I don't get gender envy. I do, however, get "freedom envy." It's not related to gender but the perceived feeling of being free.

As for what is sexual vs. aesthetic attraction, I think I still have them somewhat confused. I think it's more about aesthetics than I thought. I like looking at pretty faces. Getting a firmer grasp of my demisexual brand of being ace has helped in this.

One revelation with my sexuality was to notice there being a huge gap in how I feel when looking at porn before and after cuming. It feels wild, almost a disconnect. I think I'm way more vanilla than I thought. And I'd rather watch than participate in the scenes.

It took me aeons to unwind this. I had to figure out, that I am on the asexual spectrum, before I realized there is something odd in my admiration of female aesthetics. Learning this about myself was a big step towards my own transgender awareness.

I was always very careful to not fall into that "gazing creep" category. And only now I am slooooowly starting to make compliments to women here on fedi about their looks. It takes a ton of courage for me just to write a few nice words, maybe adding an emoji, because I still think, that I come across like a creep.

I want a life partner – but a no-sex relationship

Buenas, gente linda del fediverso.

Estoy buscando recomendaciones de contenido (libros, pelis, series, blogs, podcasts, documentales, lo que sea) que traten el arromanticismo y/o la asexualidad de forma fidedigna y respetuosa.

Me interesa especialmente que no caigan en estereotipos, patologización o narrativas tipo “ya encontrarás a alguien”, sino que reflejen experiencias reales o bien documentadas.

Si además están en español o son accesibles desde aquí, mejor.
¡Muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda!
