    As someone who’s aromantic, asexual, and doesn’t like kissing and sex etc: this seems about the same level as kissing on the mouth to me. Definitely less yuck than sex to my brain. Kinda funny seeing all these reactions

      I’m asexual as well. However I don’t find sex repugnant at all. I do enjoy it, I just have no interest in it. Is there a different term for those two different types of asexuality?

        Yeah there’s a whole spectrum, as someone else already commented. Don’t worry, you’re still just as asexual as someone like me :3.

        Even beyond that, there are of course more types of brains than any set of words can cover. I tried to word it with that in mind, because I don’t really wanna make certain asexual or aromantic subgroups feel left out.

          Ah thanks. I guess I’m indifferent. My wife keeps fretting that when she has sex with her boyfriend that it bothers me. Far from it. They could fuck in front of me and I wouldn’t care at all. We’ve been together for 10 years and she still doesn’t understand that I don’t do jealousy or envy.
