i think this is prob a stupid question for me to ask, but i wonder.

like, i consider myself to be on the ace spectrum because i don’t feel much sexual attraction. i can only feel sexual attraction towards certain people, and only if they do certain things.

for example, i’m kinda into sleeping beauty stuff, embarrassingly, which is why im posting on an alt. i can only really get sexually attracted to someone if they’re sleeping and only if they consent to me being aroused/cuddling them.

besides that, i can only really feel genuine sexual attraction towards people im already dating. and even then, they have to be sexually attracted to me first or be a horny/sexual person. with most people, who arent, i dont get sexually attracted to them and they have to be my partner.

can i still be ace?

One word descriptions rarely fit completely neatly. Is that (hypothetical) object over there blue? Blueish? Blue-green? Cyan? Blue gradient? Mostly blue? I say any of those are close enough depending on how precisely you want to communicate that object to people, and if they give you a hard time over it they're just being annoying.
