So, zero to probably slightly negative sexual attraction to humans. Probably very limited romantic/long term social attraction, but I feel like in both regards I hit the absolute jackpot with my wife. We're both ace now. I was very explicitly clear that I was ace when I met my now wife and she was coming on to me in an aggressive manner. Once I told her she was instantly relieved kind of and super fascinated. She was super understanding and respectful of my feelings and gave me the space to express them, so I was able to impress upon her that I would never feel even slight physical attraction for her or anyone else ever. She was cool with that and dropped it, but we kept hanging out and I somehow fell in love with her. We married with her knowing I'm ace which is true for humans, she doesn't know about my zoo thing but I am working up to telling her. I don't know if love is considered real by most without a physical component, but I really, really feel deep love for her. I think about her all the time, I miss her every day when we're at work, I get so excited to see her, Friday night and Saturday mornings are my favorite because I get to spend them with her, and my goodness... when she gets excited about something which she will because she's so vibrant and full of life... I don't think it's possible for me to feel happier. It's like a drug to see her enthusiasm for stuff. And she's so patient and supportive and just has a beautiful soul. Man. I dunno. If people don't think deep love like that is valid, or it's lesser or something without a physical component. I don't know. I know it is because I'm living it. I'm legitimately so fucking lucky. I cannot believe how lucky I am.
But yeah, I guess there's the rub. She could be a man or a woman, doesn't matter. It is not possible for me to feel physical attraction for her or anyone else. I've really, really tried. Man have I tried. It just doesn't work. I don't dare engage because I know to a certainty I'm going to feel nothing or more likely mild revulsion and it'll end really badly.
And yeah. When I do tell her I'm going to have to figure out what that means. I may decide to not ever engage the zoo thing for real. That's how I've rolled but I admit it is becoming harder. Or she'll leave me and I'll be completely obliterated. If I manage to come out of that then there's absolutely no chance I'd ever be with a human ever again and I'd explore what being exclusive with a dog is all about. Maybe I'd have a close human friend, but nothing like what I have with my wife. I just don't think the things I have with her could exist with anyone else.
Also, yes, I know I am a shitbag for getting married. It was just too amazing and I was selfish. I also thought I could stay legit ace forever at the time, but now I'm less sure.
I also don't know if my experience fits really because I don't have much skin in the game physically speaking, but yeah. There it is.
