I don’t think it’s something “objective” - it doesn’t happen with all attractive people or even most of them. And I don’t think others find them as attractive either. But sometimes, some very few times, I see someone either irl or online and I literally can’t stop staring at them. I think about them for hours afterwards. It’s only happened a handful of times but by god it is so freaking weird.

If there is an “objective” rating system, even if it’s subjective to the observer, then these people are not 8 or 9 or 10. They are outside the freaking scale. And I don’t mean they’re 11/10 or something. No, the scale just doesn’t even apply to them.

Like, am I weird? Does this only happen to me? Should I get my brain checked? It this what people mean when they say “type”?

    idk there were parts were i thought "maybe i should tone this down a bit more". I mean, i hope it's clear where i'm getting at and that i'm not objectifying the people i talk about and would always respect their boundaries, but i'm crushing kinda hard in that post and i can see how some people would find it difficult to contextualize what's going on with me romantically and sexually because i'm pretty far removed from how most straight people deal with these subjects.

    still thanks tho

      Na people should be able to discuss sexuality in a healthy and non predatory way. We get super weird in our society, and while I agree we need to discourage people be blatantly thirsty and gross, having a healthy and open discussions about our feelings and needs helps establish a culture of understanding which can in turn make people feel less alienated and therefore the aforementioned weird. Like yeah if someone is objectifying someone and being pornographic bring down the Vocel Cops, but not for genuine discussion.
