It's getting toward the end of the day, and I'm tired, so it must be time for some slightly weird thinking out loud...
I wonder if it's true that people tend to gravitate toward others they consider sexually attractive, even if they don't actually want to have sex with all or even any of the people in question. I'm sure there's some level of that here and there simply because of cultural conditioning that tells us that "attractive" people are better people in general. But I also wonder if there's something about even friendship-level attractions that has a sort of... chemistry component that's based at least a little in "hm. hot person."
I'm really not the right person to answer a question like that, being as how I've been blessed (cursed, really) with the whole thing about finding just about everyone attractive on some level if their personality is interesting to me. I spose monosexuals might be able to answer it better, perhaps: Do you find yourself more interested in people you consider attractive (however you define that), even if they're not the gender you get the hots for?
