Here's a pretty simple breakdown: Attraction - AVENwiki |
Thanks, very interesting. The wiki describes
Aesthetic Attraction
Some asexuals report feeling an attraction to other people that is not connected to a desire to do anything with them, either sexually or romantically. They simply appreciate their appearance. This is called aesthetic attraction because it is thought to be similar to other aesthetic desires, such as the desire to keep listening to a good song or to keep looking at a beautiful sunset.
I have that for some women and I am fully straight. I also have always focused more on images of women in art than on images of men. Say, yesterday I was browsing through an online collection of Modigliani's pictures and I looked mainly at his female nudes. I do not know if this is out of habit or for another reason, but it is what it is.
I am sure that there are other women like me.
