I see it as legitimate broadening, but I'm manipulative like that. Besides, if it's hijacking, I already did that a few posts back. :)Baphijmm wrote:I'm more than willing to speak about it, as I am living it; however, I wonder if this wouldn't be hijacking the original thread? ^^;
Mm. Have you read the Wikipedia article on autosexuality? While this particular article is in dispute for a number of reasons, the basic description of "autosexual" seems--to me--to match up with your self-description.Baphijmm wrote:For me anyway, it's definitely not a hypoactive... libido, I guess would be the correct word. I do get aroused, and I do enjoy relieving sexual tension....
This is really a terminology question. For one thing, I'm not poking at anyone's self-identification. For another, I know that there is a significantly larger amount of information and resources available for people who are asexual (which, if you've looked, gives you an idea about the vanishingly rare resourses for autosexuals), and much of what is available under that larger umbrella is probably applicable.
Thanks very, very much for helping to inform me a bit. (I need all the help I can get.)
