“what is alterous attraction?” and “what is a QPR?” next? 👀
Hi, I'll be copying my reply from another comment to help explain.
"Hi! I'm a grey romantic aceflux, and I think I understand what you're asking. Before I answer, remember that asexuality only means a lack or low level of "s3××ual" attraction, not libido, so you can still be ace and want a romantic or "s3××ual" relationship. To answer your question, there is something called QPR (queer platonic relationships). It means a relationship between queer people who are simply looking for a life partner, often without romantic or "s3××ual" attraction/undertones between them, just someone to cuddle and enjoy domestic bliss with or whatever works for them. I don't think that's the best explanation, but there are videos that explain it better. I hope this helped!"
Alterous attraction means an emotional attraction that is neither platonic nor romantic. I have alterous attraction that feels clearly distinct from a close friend, but I don't call it romantic. This is mainly because my idea of a relationship is quite different from the traditional romantic relationship (I'm asexual and polyamorous, along with many subtle differences). Instead of saying "I want a romantic relationship but different in these ways," I prefer to build the relationship from the ground up.
A queerplatonic relationship is a relationship that is "closer than friends" without being romantic. I don't have much experience here because if I'm that close with someone, I would very likely develop alterous feelings. But a queerplatonic relationship doesn't have to be fully platonic; it's just not romantic.
@@blobs2635 I wasn't aware of alterious attraction, thanks for letting me know!
This is so much more helpful than any of the videos I’ve watched by allo people trying to explain the difference between “love” and “in love”. Thank you so much for this explanation.
I love the way you communicate ideas and explanations!
"Can I be asexual and bi" or "can I be ace and gay" could be an interesting video topic if you haven't already covered it
Hi, just to let you know, being gay and ace or bi and ace can happen. All asexuality means is a low level or lack of "s3××ual" attraction. That doesn't mean someone can't experience romantic attraction, meaning that you can be both gay and ace or bi and ace. Romantic attraction and "s3××ual" attraction aren't tied together. I hope this helped!
Edit: I accidentally put an extra exclamation mark.
Loving these videos!
Thanks!
I have a quick question.
I am currently moving around the ace community, listening to a bunch of opinnions and identification videos and I am quite sure I am in the ace section, maybe a demi? 🤔 cant really tell but probably a clear ace and there is like one thing that i cant stop thinking about. I love and I mean I adore hugging people and cuddling but thats as far as the physical contact goes for me . Is it like.. not like okay but.. is there some specific term for it? 🤔 or does it still go under clear ace? 🤔
I can't formulate my question properly but if you understand what I'm asking, I'll be glad for any reply. Have a nice day!

Hi i know I'm a bit late and maybe you're wiser now but still sharing this. Hugging and cuddling without any romantic/sexual connotation falls exactly into the category of sensual attraction (if you don't know the term, google helps). You can still be as ace as you think AND feel sensual attraction.
