lionsca: It’s aromantic awareness week! What does it mean to be aromantic? Not experiencing romantic attraction! But how do I know if I experience it or not? This can be tricky, especially if you’re not sure what it means to you. It might be the case that you confuse romantic and platonic affection personally, and that’s okay! You might be aromantic if: You infrequently find yourself wanting a romantic relationship You find romance in general repulsing You have no desire to show romantic affection towards someone (this does not have to include having sex!) You have no desire to have someone else show you romantic affection. I think i’m aromantic, but I still feel sexual attraction. Is this normal? Absolutely! Asexuality and aromantism are never exclusive. You can be one or the other, or both. What are those other romantic orientations? Demiromantic - only experiences romantic attraction after an emotional bond has formed Grey-aromantic - rarely experiences romantic attraction Quoiromantic - has trouble discerning the differences between romantic and platonic affection (also known as wtfromantic) akoiromantic - experiences romantic attraction but is uncomfortable with those feelings being reciprocated cupioromantic -experiences no romantic attraction but desires romantic relationships There are more than these that are listed! Don’t be afraid if your romantic orientation doesn’t fit into a box or label! Who’s that cute pony? That is Archer, an aromantic genderpunk non-binary pony who wants to spread some aro awareness.
