    I dunno… You can be straight and still consider someone of the same sex attractive, just not so attractive that you’d want to sleep with them.

    I’m ace and I find both Tom Ellis and Jenna Coleman attractive, but that doesn’t mean I want to sleep with them, or anyone really.

      Well yeah but specifically sexual attraction – generic attraction can be anything that makes you want to spend time with a person but we’re talking about sexual attraction here

      What does “ace” mean in this context?

        Asexual, meaning they experience little to no sexual attraction.

          So, if no one experiences sexual attraction to me, what does that make me? Anti-sexual? Axes, maybe?

            creating a new sexual orientation based on whether people are attracted to you as an individual is like a whole new level of narcissism 😅

            why no, I’m not a FenrirIII-sexual, but my friend is (she’s a slut)

      Agree 100%. I think the guy in the comic got his award prematurely. The rest of the sentence after “but” matters.

      Stupid question time: Does the fact that you’re ace omit the gay/straight spectrum entirely, or would you still place yourself on it somewhere?

        Not having sexual attraction to any people doesn’t preclude romantic attraction. I’m ace and panromantic. What OP described is aesthetic attraction

        We used to call people who omitted the spectrum and were attracted to other people regardless pansexual.

        Some aces have a position on the gay/straight spectrum.

          Aesthetic attraction vs Sexual attraction.

          You can find someone visually appealing without also finding them sexually appealing.

            The two are not mutually exclusive.

            Sexual attractiveness also doesn’t mean sexual drive. One doesn’t need to be gay to understand that a man is sexually attractive in the way they find compelling. A desire to look good is all it takes.

      Tom Ellis is the Lucifer actor, for anyone wondering.

      I agree with Coleman though, though I am most probably not ace.

        I’m 100% straight, but I don’t think being attracted to Tom Ellis should count.

        (My use of “I’m 100% straight” here is meant solely as a humorous callback to the comic.

        But yeah, Tom Ellis is charming as fuck with wide appeal.)
