Stupid question time: Does the fact that you're ace omit the gay/straight spectrum entirely, or would you still place yourself on it somewhere?

Some aces have a position on the gay/straight spectrum.

Aesthetic attraction vs Sexual attraction.

You can find someone visually appealing without also finding them sexually appealing.

[-] Slotos@feddit.nl 8 points 1 day ago

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Sexual attractiveness also doesn’t mean sexual drive. One doesn’t need to be gay to understand that a man is sexually attractive in the way they find compelling. A desire to look good is all it takes.

Not having sexual attraction to any people doesn't preclude romantic attraction. I'm ace and panromantic. What OP described is aesthetic attraction

We used to call people who omitted the spectrum and were attracted to other people regardless pansexual.
