I always thought I was just weird or people around me were exaggerating their attraction toward others. I didn’t understand how you could have a crush on someone you have never met. I didn’t understand how people could just look at someone and find them sexually attractive. It didn’t make sense to me and it still doesn’t. I wasn’t sex-repulsed, I just didn’t understand how people experienced sexual attraction in a way that I could never imagine. I could acknowledge a person’s physical attractiveness but I wouldn’t feel a sexual pull toward them. I didn’t understand what it felt like to have a “type”. I couldn’t comprehend what it felt like to see someone and think they were sexy. I didn’t understand being sexually attracted to celebrities and public figures whom I didn’t know.
