Definetely feel like we're finding our middle ground. But yeah the way sexuality has developped with dating/hook up apps (and tbf maybe it was like that before too) is so exhausting. I'm aromantic and even I think the whole process is so cold. People will expect to meet after a few conversation. They expect to discuss sex via text even before the first meeting. You'll meet and have a nice vibe just getting to know each other and sex will feel so expected. It feels like you never have the space to just "see where it goes". And feel the moments when they come. I'd love to hook up with a stranger but I've never been to that point because no one made me feel like seizing the moment. And I can't strive to create one when the other person doesn't feel in it. I think you're so on the point when you say it's about focusing solely on the other person and being in it. I think the world's moving so fast and everyone's always thinking of something else people expect to have sex but don't want to or don't know how to just fully be in the moment. It's all physical sensations and intimacy and nothing in the mind. That doesn't even only apply to romance. There's just no intimate atmosphere around sex.

Porn is porn. I don’t really need romance stories to show everything. The point of the romance genre is to explore the tension and mental gymnastics we go through when desiring someone else, not necessarily the mechanics of sexual relations. I do think the romance genre is an escape from the hellscape that is dating apps. The romance genre often tackles sincerity and vulnerability…while dating apps (and apps in general) game-ify dating and make it a less sincere and transparent experience for many. It’s like…so many people want better yet so many of us fall for all the pitfalls that the apps present us with. It’s a hellscape lol. In terms of sexual positivity: I’m sex positive if you’re an ethical slut. The problem is so many “sluts” (people) are unethical…and cause more harm. You don’t have to be emotionally attached to treat someone with even 2% dignity.

absolutely amazing and absolutely true, since deciding to practice celibacy i realized that the way i approached sex (more so other people wanting to have sex with me) was with fear. Idk if i ever wanted to participate in the act itself. It was uncomfortable and i performed a lot. Audre Lorde’s “Uses of the Erotic” put so much words to that feeling. Omg and PLEASE talk about Francesca and John
