Depends on the person. As an ace person in their 30s, it doesn't excite me. I'd rather just snuggle.
You're a what?
Asexual. There's a lot of us around these parts for whatever reason.
There are levels and layers to sexuality, with some being absolutely disgusted by the idea of anything romantic related at all, while I'd say the opposite end of it being those who are actively willing to engage in sex, but don't get anything physically out of it themselves.
The biggest thing to note from any asexual person is the general apathy on the importance of sex as a thing to experience. Being one myself, I can't really claim to know amazing it is, but I can guess that if it's what some people think about constantly, get addicted to, and continue to engage in after having enough kids that it's financially impossible to support them.. It must be pretty good for some people.
Ohhhh
