I’m not sure where to ask this question, so I’m hoping maybe you could help me. I’m ace, but I’ve been trying to place my other attractions. I’ve realized that I am attracted (non sexually of course) to people who present themselves in a masculine/male way regardless of their gender, orientation, or identity. What sort of orientation would that be considered? How would I verbally describe this kind of attraction?
It is perfectly cool to ask any question here. We are always happy to help and provide to support for people with any orientation and attraction-like questions. Don’t ever be afraid to ask any question.
That’s awesome that you are working on your other attractions! It’s not easy, but keep at it! You will get through it. You sound like you have an amazing understanding already! That is awesome. It’s not easy getting to know yourself, so much props to you there.
There are actually many people who feel the same way that you do. Many people feel an attraction to masculinity, males, or people (regardless of gender) who present themselves in a masculine way. I would suggest you check out masexual/romatnic or minsexual/romantic.
Masexual/romantic: is where you are attracted towards men or males.
Minsexual/romantic: is when you are attracted to masculinity.
These two orientations sound closest to what you described. Look around and check them out. See what you can find. Try them out if you like. It never hurts to try out a label to see if it could fit you.
You are doing great, Anon! Take your time with everything. It’s your orientation, so feel free to identify however you wish. If you need any help, have any more questions, or need to talk feel free to message us anytime.
