#pan oriented aroace

[aroaceconfessions]

i wanted to know if there were other polyamorous (pan angled, in my case) aroace(spec) people here. i know it's totally fine and valid being like this, i just feel kind of alone and i wanted to know if there is someone else like this :')

A lot of people were curious about this one !

So here’s a little explanation of me being a “pan oriented aroace”

Of course, that’s just my own experience, and other oriented aroace can have different ones.

I’m gonna tag the people who asked :v

Love being pan-oriented aroace it's literally

"so what genders are you attracted to?"

"well, none of them but actually all of them"

[ickscrownest]

Mm.

So I think I’m Pan or Omni oriented?

Idk, all I know is that I like men in theory but women in practice lol

(A pan oriented aroace is a person who is aromantic and asexual but experiences a form of attraction to all genders that is neither romantic nor sexual, but is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation. Thanks to @aroworlds for correcting me!)

even tho i'm aroace, i DO experience aesthetic/alterous attraction, and ive long since noticed that i get it for all genders. is the right terminology for that pan-oriented aroace? or is it something else?

[beanb-urrito]

Hey fellows! So i decided to talk a bit about my aromanticism. I currently define as pan oriented aroace. And while i was having my queer awakening a few month ago i would have liked to see people describing their experiences. So im gonna do it now and maybe it'll help someone who has the same struggle as me.

Things i do want or feel:

-strong attraction to people on first sight! If i find someone visually appealing i immediately want them to talk to me and like me. Also i get super nervous around people that i consider hot.

-i develop super intense squishes on people around me. If you are my squish, you are all i can think of and what is really important to me is that 'i am your favorite person'. I especially want to form a strong emotional bond to my squish

-since these squishes are so intense and clearly different form how i like my close friends i would describe it as alterous attratcion to a certain extent.

-who i get squishes on is strongly influenced whether i am aesthetically attracted to them

-i do want a life partner! For me a life partner is someone that i have a very strong emotional bond to. I kind of imagine a life partner as a 'team mate' that supports me and that i can support equally.

-jealousy! If my partner engages in a romantic relation ship, i would immediately be jealous af. For me its simply burned into my brain that people commit more to romantic reationships than they do to others. So for me it wouldnt workout if my partner was in a romantic relationship with someone else. However, i would not mind being in a polyamorous relationship with people that are also aro.

Things i do not want or feel:

- also jealousy! I completely would not mind if my partner would physically engage with others. As long as the emotional connection is not 'threatened' everything is fine with me.

- i never have the urge to do romantic gestures, since i simply have no romantic feelings that i would like to communicate to my partner

- i do not want to receive romantic gestures. Honestly if you try to hold my hand or to go on a candellight dinner with me i would literally die, but not in a good way

-kissing? My asexual side is completely fine with kissing and i really enjoy it. But as soon as kissing becomes the expression of romance you can count me out.

Thats it, otherwise this post is becoming too long! I might make a part 2 at some point. If you have questions hit me up!

The third panel reads "the writers make it canon". The fourth panel reads "they actually use the words 'asexual' and 'aromantic'". End ID.]
