--- Quote from: Farideh on 03 Nov 2020, 14:09 ---When it comes to attraction, I've always been puzzled by descriptions in books, where the protagonist meets someone and immediately falls head-over-heels in love. The 'love' in those cases is based purely on physical attraction: the other person is so devastatingly handsome, etc. I've never understood that: how can you be attracted to someone without knowing anything about them? Their personality, interests, intellect, and so on.

Its called Charisma.

Well, looks help a lot. But attraction is more than, and different from "beauty". I've looked at plenty of people who I consider handsome, but not attractive.
If certain physical criteria are met, you throw in things like how they move, the sound of their voice, and how they talk, it can mean instant strong attraction. Charisma adds a bit of what they say (and falls a little bit into some of the former points).
And if that happens at the right moment, it can become instant infatuation. I haven't experienced that myself (only with a slow burn), but I can totally see how that can actually happen.

And here I was thinking Brun might be ace.
I wonder what kind of guy she'd go for.

You can enjoy porn while still being ace! Brun reads as autochorissexual/aegosexual to me here. I'm also aego and Brun's response here makes a ton of sense.
FreshScrod:
I think there's a whole-lotta word soup that just confuses the hell outta me. There's alotta different complex orientations/identities that hasty words really don't do justice. I wish people would look at what's there. We know Brun isn't aroused at the idea of having sex (at least with dudes, but who-knows if there's anything there about non-dudes). We know that Brun is aroused at the idea of Clinton & Elliot doing-it. (And I'm wondering if she's imagining the same acts I am, hummina-haa.)
