Did someone watch Kwite... lol

No idea who/what that is

Ahh alright, he made a tier-list of all the sexuality flags the other day and I learned about a bunch of them [this one included] in that vid

Ah, ok. Neat. I straight up found it through a random googling because I was curious if there was a word for it. Cool to find there are words for things that are otherwise kind of hard to place.

never explored stuff but friends always said it weird i don't go actively looking. but accept partner when engaged. i guess this me

In that case, demisexual is another one I use that you might look into. Basically equates to attraction developing only after a relationship has developed.

I'll definitely be flying both demi and aego flags now I guess :P

thank u for info i need to check it out. knowing self a good thing.

Some people are just wired different.

Some people are, and finding examples of other people trying their best to describe and put words to feelings that are otherwise very hard to describe is very validating :)

aka szpd

Relating those two as identical is a false statement.

SZPD, according to a page describing it in the National Library of Medicine, is characterized by a detachment from interpersonal relationships and difficulties with expressing oneself emotionally.

Aegosexual is characterized by a presence of sexual attraction or interest mentally paired with a lack of want for actual physical involvement.

By definition alone, they are crucially different things. One can be Aegosexual but have little to no trouble with social situations or emotional expression. And one with SZPD could have genuine interest in sexual activity despite any difficulties they have with social intimacy. Someone with SZPD could also have no sexual interest at all, excluding even non-physical forms.

Both have distinctive traits, and I have no doubt some show traits of both. But, considering them identical excludes those which only fit in one category.

Not another one. We have enough already. I find it confusing and annoying that someone bothers classifying people on such trivial matter instead solving real world problems. That being said, I do not wish to attack your sexuality nor your announcement. It just surprises me in negative way.

It's less about classifying people and more about finding other people that have had similar experiences. It's validating to know that other people have had similar experiences. I've grown up in deep country Texas and have always felt very alien to the people around me, so finding stuff like this is very therapeutic.

Totally understandable to feel like there's too much to keep up with, but, in this case, you don't really have to keep up with it. This is something for me, to make me feel validated and find people who have been through similar experiences to learn how they went about it differently.

Similarly to stuff like Misophonia. I wouldn't expect everyone without Misophonia to know what it is or what it entails for mental health. But knowing it exists helps me find coping mechanisms from others that live with it, and it helps me to know that I'm not alone with a sensation.

Totally fair to feel like there's a lot to keep up with.

Okay.

This is so specifically bang on, wow! I've been hanging out under the ace umbrella. It's nice to have something finally describe you.

Very good feeling. It really is the 'point at screen "It's just like me'!" vibe. Found a blog/article of someone describing their experience with Aego, and it was also the same feeling. "They just like me for real"
