No awkward breakfast, I swear.
So I was talking with someone when they mentioned something that I've been thinking about for a while now, and I thought I'd share that little bit of information with you, LJ.
It's kind of impossible to define an individual's physical (i.e. sexual) likes, wants, interests and tendencies situational or otherwise with just a handful of describing words, because when you really define them it boils down to,
One or the other
Both
Anything and everything and all the in-between
Nothing
Is there a reason why people just can't be sexual, and not something hyphen sexual (e.g. bi-sexual, hetero-sexual)
sexual as in "Hi, I'm human, I like when my bits feel nice" Of course not everyone can describe themselves like that, but because I live in teenage hormone sex-drive land, it feels like a huge chunk of people around me could benefit from that sort of description.
Thinking that way also brought up something else to think about: Romance
I feel like people would understand each other better if you could identify yourself as a -romantic and a -sexual. It makes sense anyway, romance is typically more of a mental connection, where as those can be formed with pretty much anyone (so long as there is chemistry, does gender really matter?) where sex is different, you could have huge romantic chemistry but if there isn't much physical attraction sex isn't really happening, I don't think anyway.
Which begs the question, can a relationship survive on just a mental connection with small physical bits like hugs or kisses, but no sex because one or both people involved don't find the other sexually stimulating?
