I was talking with someone and I can't find who it was anymore! He posted about being bi, but maybe calling himself gay so as not to disappoint women because he is romantically but not sexually attracted to women.

I have a friend who identifies as gay who experiences the same thing. I don't think there is a straightforward affirming label for this valid orientation yet.

I just stumbled upon this Vice News interview with someone who experiences this very strongly and wanted to share.... so maybe likeminded people can connect about their experiences and how identify socially?

A note on me in case you're wondering if I experience this, I am aroace. So yes, but without the romantic attraction, so I assume it's different, at least seen differently socially. imo it's how I imagine everyone is to a small extent, but probably not based on genders. idk the current system doesn't work for me, so it's nice to find others who question how they fit and see if my insight might help 🤷
