pre-transition? Sure
I don't like dicks though
And it would probably be difficult with me going "I love your boobs" and they're always like "I hate my boobs"
That's so strange. You're just attracted to people's body parts?
That's how it works for the vast majority of people.
Not like personality doesn't play a role. But certain body part combinations are a requirement.
Pretty weird
Is their preference really any more arbitrary than the preferences sapiosexuals or demisexuals have? It sounds like they probably have other traits that may make someone more or less attractive, they just have a minimum requirement for a certain body form for them to begin having attraction. That isn’t so different when compared to a sapiosexual who requires a high intellect before they can begin being more or less attracted based on other traits.
TL;DR: All preferences are weird, no need to call anyone out on their specific ones :)
Small clarification: Demisexuality isn't a preference. They don't feel any sexual attraction before an emotional connection is formed.
You're absolutely right, I inadvertently worded that as if I was reducing those sexual orientations down to being a preference like for a certain hair color. I should have said they have a requirement before sexual attraction can develop.
Not OP, and not disagreeing with you, but I think it's also fair to point out that "having boobs and a vagina" isn't always preference for straight people either.
Some people are just hardwired to not feel sexual attraction unless the other person fits their needs, I think? Just like how most gay men don't feel sexual attraction to the aforementioned qualities.
How do they do it on your planet?
I come from the planet of the ace, where nobody has sex and the masturbation doesn't matter
