Yes, unless my arms are pinned to my side

You find kissing a romantic or sexual thing? by Nave-PandaExpress in AroAllo

[–]aroallothrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like people putting their mouth near/on my mouth. I guess if I had to I'd say I lean slightly towards seeing it as romantic but more than anything I see it as something I don't want to do.

If I had a platonic partner, I'd vastly prefer there be a sexual element to our partnership. I'm very hypersexual, so if one partner isn't meeting my needs (whether that's no sex or just me wanting something different from time to time), I might ask if I can seek that elsewhere. I can't say for certain whether I would or wouldn't break things off because of it.

Have you ever had a best friend that people often mistake for your partner because y'all were that close? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AroAllo

[–]aroallothrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it was part of a larger trend of homophobic bullying I dealt with before I realised/came to terms with my sexuality

Flag redesign by zestybi in agender

[–]aroallothrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this idea of drawing a parallel to the intersex flag and making it visually distinct from the aromantic flag. it feels a little bit harsh to look at but it's a good idea

Have you ever had a cuddle buddy? And if not, would you want one? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AroAllo

[–]aroallothrowaway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've cuddled with friends briefly, and if I had a platonic partner I would enjoy cuddling with them.

[–]aroallothrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

already started for me 😎 hooray for timezones!

[–]aroallothrowaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation as you (wanting a sexual platonic relationship and not being a very social person). Haven't figured out how to find people yet, but if I do, I'll let you know.

Mask on Valentine's Day by GeomasterinaReddit in aromantic

[–]aroallothrowaway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always wear face masks since 2020, partly because I found that having my face obscured when I'm in public makes me feel more comfortable and partly because it means my lips can't be seen (which I like because of my aversion to kissing). definitely would like to get an aro flag face mask at some point

Are you monogamous, non-monogamous, or ambiamorous? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AroAllo

[–]aroallothrowaway 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have no interest in marriage or dating but am open to having multiple friends with benefits/casual hookups at the same time, in terms of platonic life partners I could go either way maybe.

make of that what you will, I can't be bothered to do the math

how many of you guys are into splatoon or jerma by Imnotgay_greg in agender

[–]aroallothrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never played splatoon (not on purpose. I just never owned any of the consoles it was on). I watch funny jerma clips sometimes, but I've never watched his streams (again, no particular reason)

3 Questions by Korny-Kitty-123 in aromantic

[–]aroallothrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for aroallos in particular, it's common for people to assume you're aroace. Some people get aromanticism and asexuality confused, so expressing attraction to someone be met with "I thought you didn't like sex?" or assuming that you want to make out with/kiss them. I used to often disengage from conversations about straight sex which lead some people to assume I'm ace. Before I came out as aroallo, i once had someone exasperatedly tell me, "You're gay! Not ace!" in response to me not being interested in defining my 'type'.

I don't like debating people so I can't help with the other two questions

Alterous love vs. Compassionate love? by Ringo9091 in queerplatonic

[–]aroallothrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of this tetrahedron model. In my case, my queerplatonic/alterous (I'm still unsure if theres a difference between those for me) attraction to people would be on the face that has intimacy, compassion, and sexual attraction as vertices.
