Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Shannon is it possible to be romantically attracted to someone if you're not sexually attracted to them? Is sexual attraction a prerequisite to romantic attraction?

Absolutely. Purely romantic attraction, purely sexual attraction and a mix of the two are not only possible, but common.

In some people, sexual attraction is a pre-requisite for romantic attraction, but that is actually rare and it is a programmed response. (Typically programmed in by what society now teaches males to do through social interactions, PUA, etc.)

The natural way of things is that you can respond on a scale of 0 to 100% to someone romantically and sexually at the same time, and of course in such a case, 0% sexual and 100% romantic, and the reverse, are absolutely options.
