    Just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be getting downvoted.

    Your question is quite unusual, but it appears to be written in good faith. Please don’t be put off from making further posts.

        Is it a legit term I haven’t heard for aro/ace/agender folk? Or do you mean like a Ken doll (no titties, no nipples, no genitalia)

          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.

      The only thing I can think is that OP is considering getting everything cut off/out and not taking hormone replacements, but is concerned that no longer having “normal” levels of hormones for either gender might negatively affect their crippling addiction to RomComs and RomCom accessories.

      No none of it. All the glands and appliances removed. Which leads us to my question.

      Lacking all that, would romcoms be boring?

        I’m not a violent person, but I like war films. I would think that the same logic could be applied.
