Tertiary Attraction Posting

sensory attraction culture is wanting to cuddle your best friend and maybe kiss them but you don’t know how to say that without sounding weird or romantic

does anyone want to join my midnight shovel club?  we walk around the streets at midnight with shovels

the intimacy of knowing where everything is in a friend’s kitchen........

shoutout to pansensual, panalterous, panaesthetic, and panplatonic people! y’all are just as pan as pansexual and panromantic people! i hope y’all are having a wonderful day!

anyone wanna hold hands for a little while

YES

Haha can we please normalize cuddling friends.

I’m pretty sure Im aro so take this with a grain of salt. I think the difference is that you don’t constantly think about someone you’re friends with and what they like/what would make their day better. Friends don’t usually do grand gestures to show their affection unless it’s their birthday. And friends aren’t usually as sensually attracted. If there’s only one person you’d consider cuddling with or kissing, you’re probably more romantically attracted than platonically.

Hmm you seem very invested in thinking of friends so that point seems hard to pin down. Senual attraction is the desire for non sexual touch. Usually there’s some sensual attraction to friends, such as the desire to cuddle, but sruff like kissing is usually only for romantic or sexual partners (sometimes qprs I thjnk) .

Honestly? You can do any act (kissing, sex, cuddling sensually etc.) whether you're romantic or platonic. I experience sensual attraction but am romance repulsed, and I would be uncomfortable labelling my sensual desires as "romantic". My understanding is that the difference between romantic and platonic feelings, from all that I've seen from different aspec experiences from all across the community, is that it's based on perception. If you want certain actions and perceive those actions personally as romantic, it's probably romantic, if you perceive them as platonic, then platonic. It's possible there's an element of what you want it to be as well; like with me, I want some of to cuddle with: I wouldn't perceive that to be romantic, and I wouldn't want that to be romantic. Other people would. So take that as you will.

I just want someone to push me into bed put their whole body on me and just vibe with me till we fall asleep.

reblog if you would be comfortable with a QPR (queer platonic relationship) bc I honestly don’t know if many ppl would want to do it. thanks <3

Being aromantic is pretty rad, actually

Aro culture is saying your touch starved and having everyone around you assume it's in a romantic relationship sense when really you just want a hug from your friend.
