This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You can want sex but not be sexually attracted to anyone.

Yes, that's called aromanticism. You can also be attracted to people without wanting sex, which is usually referred to as asexuality. You can also be both.

That's what I said, that is asexuality, not aromanticism.

(But yes, aromanticism is close and it's tough to figure out the difference if you have one or the other or both because the two are often thought to be the same thing)
