I’m not trying to be special. I’m also not asking you to validate a label. I’m describing how my attraction actually works. Whether it’s common or uncommon isn’t the point; the accuracy is.
You are also collapsing a lot of unrelated things into one argument. Being open or explicit about sex doesn’t mean I lack discernment or boundaries in real life. Especially when no woman poster on this board has been on the receiving end of me trying to date them. That's a fact chère.
Again....talking about sex, even joking about it, isn’t the same as being driven by it or acting on it indiscriminately. Expression and behavior aren’t interchangeable.
As for therapy: people work with therapists for clarity, not because something is “wrong.” That question feels less about curiosity and more about discrediting, and that conversation is something I'm not interested in moving towards that direction of conversation respectfully.
We clearly see this differently, and that’s fine and great. But I’m not going to keep explaining my internal experience to anyone who’s already decided it can’t exist. That's not fair to me and fair to our platonic relationship/friendship. I feel attacked.
