Oh, that's interesting! I have acespec friends, but I think you're the first of this particular type I've met. I'd seen it before, but looked it up, and then I found this interesting tidbit:
Perceiving someone as "hot" or recognizing someone as sexually attractive, yet not seeing the appeal of having sex with the individual in real life. The aegosexual individual may instead prefer to fantasize about them or admire them.
That's a thing I've long said belongs on the ace spectrum, but some people say if you can perceive hotness then you're not "really" ace. I think asexuality is about not feeling a compulsion to do the sex.
>>An excellent excuse to write/receive soppy fics for exchanges!<<
>>Forgiving friends willing to put up with me when I:<<
I have lots of disabled and variant friends in my audience, so we generally try to accommodate each other's quirks. Feel free to drop by and see if you like it. I'm doing a Poetry Fishbowl on "flipping expectations" on Tuesday, Feb. 1 so there'll be lots of activity. Leave prompts, get poems! Mostly original, but fan prompts are acceptable because I can use them as freebies, and if there's a new prompter or donor, I post an extra freebie.
>>I tend to withdraw until I'm more sociable again, because no one needs to deal with me like that.<<
I'm happy to see someone else who backs off when feeling out of sorts. I figure, if I can't hold the safety cover on The Mouth, I shouldn't be out in public, even internet-public. I go read fanfic or stab squeaky-toy characters or do housework until I can be civil again.
