hmmm so I think I might be demisexual? I mean I look at people and I’m like wow what eye candy pretty yay but I have pretty much zero interest in having sex with them, unless I have an emotional connection to them. Whether in real life or a celebrity or some random person on the internet. Like I see someone and I’m like wow what an extremely attractive individual, but if I imagine having sex with them it just seems very clinical, skin, whatever, like maybe it would feel good but you don’t need another person for that. but I don’t want that any more strongly than with someone I just find ordinary looking.

and I mean I used to feel quite distressed because I couldn’t imagine myself meeting anyone I wanted in that way, other than the people I did in fact want, who were celebrities and thus unattainable. but then I figured out that what happens is as I get to know some people I develop an attraction to them, which was something I hadn’t been able to factor in when I was trying to envision this Future Person Who I Would Be Interested In. Does that make sense?

so. It’s not a sure thing yet but it’s something I’m kinda rolling around in my head.

lol @ nonas defending an unnecessary and intrusive test just bc it's not that dangerous

an ultrasound isn't dangerous either so igss it's ok to require one before an abortion

my mom made me go to an old woman gyno who told me to stop whining when she used a cold speculum that was too big

it was terrible

pap tests aren't recommended for women under 21 and are only meant to be done every 3 years unless you are at a high risk
