So, purely out of curiosity, I'd like to conduct a poll -

How far removed does something have to be from your own species for you to consider it

well

unorthodox

to have any sort of romantic aspirations with them?

I ask this mostly because I'm betrothed to a damned dragon in my own world (no, not a humanoid with draconic qualities, an actual, literal dragon) and apparently both of those are considered just a tad too extreme by most people's standards?

But then no reasonable human on my world would really consider another human at all strange for wanting to bed a goblin, or an elf, orc, dwarf, or what have you, so it appears the line has been drawn somewhere.

Not bothering with anonymity, because why in the Nine Hells not, but you're welcome to if you wish.

Love finds a way, but I was speaking less about that and more about a general sense of what someone finds attractive in the first place.

I see. Well, I'm afraid I can't speak much to that. Angels of my kind don't have sexualities quite the way humans do. We have to make an Effort for it. (Not to be confused with humans whose sexuality simply doesn't consist of sexual attraction. We can have sexual attraction, but only if it's something we desire and manifest ourselves.) As such, romantic attraction came first for me, and I've never been sexually attracted to any other being.

I have been sexually attracted to and indeed even physical with Crowley in different forms. But I'm not certain if that counts or not in this discussion? A snake is often considered unorthodox to many humans, I believe.

I mean.

For most extraplanar beings, that does seem to be the norm.
