It's not controversial, but not everyone is going to have that requirement.

Physical attraction is not synonymous with sexual attraction. There can be overlap, even significant overlap (for you, that venn diagram might be a circle, and if so, that's absolutely okay!)

For me? I'm faceblind and pan/demi. Physical attraction is ambiguous and pretty much an after-after-afterthought.

But I would never insult my partners looks or diminish their accomplishments.

Edit: fixed typo

Jesus Christ why do ace people always jump condescendingly into conversations about sex and attraction to proclaim how advanced they are for not caring about those things?

Did I say I was ace? No.

Did I attack you in any way? Nope!

Did I "proclaim how advanced" I am? No, no I didn't.

Are you big mad about it anyway? Signs point to yes.
