    What I’m asking is, if you have none of those sexual urges coloring your consciousness, would you find romcoms boring?

      Gotcha, that’s a reasonable question. I’m not able to answer, unfortunately 😭

      I do have a friend who’s aro/ace and has zero interest in sex, but they’ve written a lot of romance. It’s not their main thing but they still seem to really enjoy it. I think well-developed characters can make any kind of goal interesting, even if it’s not one you’d ever have. I don’t know how many romcoms bother with that level of development, though.
