pre-transition? Sure

I don't like dicks though

And it would probably be difficult with me going "I love your boobs" and they're always like "I hate my boobs"

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That's so strange. You're just attracted to people's body parts?

[–] Skellybones@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Yeah It's called sexual attraction at least meet the bare minimum

[–] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's how it works for the vast majority of people.

Not like personality doesn't play a role. But certain body part combinations are a requirement.

Not really, it's pretty key to the propagation of the species to find certain genitals and sexual traits attractive. Those that don't notice them or care about them are outliers in humanity.

[–] luna@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Outliers in humanity? Fuck off

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, and that's not a bad thing. Anyone outside of the average in a trait is an outlier. Being 7 feet tall makes one an outlier, being a genius makes one an outlier, etc...

Not sure why you're so offended.

[–] colin@lemmy.uninsane.org 3 points 1 year ago

nothing wrong with being an outlier

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'm asexual so this is very alien to me. I generally associate genitals with violence because of past trauma

Is their preference really any more arbitrary than the preferences sapiosexuals or demisexuals have? It sounds like they probably have other traits that may make someone more or less attractive, they just have a minimum requirement for a certain body form for them to begin having attraction. That isn’t so different when compared to a sapiosexual who requires a high intellect before they can begin being more or less attracted based on other traits.

TL;DR: All preferences are weird, no need to call anyone out on their specific ones :)

[–] Nyla_Smokeyface@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Small clarification: Demisexuality isn't a preference. They don't feel any sexual attraction before an emotional connection is formed.

Not OP, and not disagreeing with you, but I think it's also fair to point out that "having boobs and a vagina" isn't always preference for straight people either.

Some people are just hardwired to not feel sexual attraction unless the other person fits their needs, I think? Just like how most gay men don't feel sexual attraction to the aforementioned qualities.

How do they do it on your planet?

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

I come from the planet of the ace, where nobody has sex and the masturbation doesn't matter

Buck is too masculine on top for me to find them attractive.
