Have you ever felt this way about someone really kind and great?
They could be the most attractive and sexy person ever, according to other people, but their kindness and greatness somehow erased any thoughts of sexual attraction for you.
How do you explain this feeling? Is there a word for it?
Like……..if you met Buddha/Jesus/Joan of arc in real life, and you absolutely love them for their kindness and greatness, but they are also really attractive/sexy and everybody salivates over them, yet you simply don’t share the same “attraction”, you know what I mean?
They could be naked or wearing really sexy clothes and making suggestive pose/expression, but you simply can’t “feel” it, due to their kindness and greatness.
But you absolutely feel sexually attracted to regular attractive people, even some “nasty/evil” attractive people.
Is this weird or common?

Ive thought about this myself. I think it comes down to an association between goodness and innocence and how innocence is not very sexy. Perhaps we have internalised sexual shame to some degree and don’t inherently see sex as something beautiful and good but tainted in some way, hence this mental block.
