What is the scientific purpose of crushes/romantic attraction?

12 Comments

If I were to ask you, what is the scientific purpose behind crushes/sexual attraction, what would be your answer? What's the point of it? If a crush isn't inherently sexual, then why did everyone assume I wanted to "fuck" the person I said I have a crush on? (Just by that statement alone of me saying "I have a crush on them".) What if someone has a crush on something/someone forbidden, but doesn't want to have sex with them? If they don't want to have sex with them, then what's the problem with having a simple, romantic crush on them?
BTW before you jump to conclusions or make assumptions about me, I am ASEXUAL meaning I don't experience any form of attraction to people.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    To lead to sex and eventual procreation.

    Duh.

      Exactly. Tell that to those idiots who say that crushes aren't sexual or that romantic and sexual are not the same

    I feel like there's a deeper, more grim, but interesting question that the user wants to ask. What made you ask?

      I am just wondering since so many people say crushes aren't sexual by nature. Well how are they not sexual? What is the purpose of a crush? What's the point of it if it's not sexual??? If crushes aren't sexual then why would someone recoil in disgust if someone said they had a crush on something that is forbidden... Well if crushes aren't sexual then where's your logic at being disgusted by it??
      My opinion is that crushes are inherently sexual, regardless of if you want to have sex with your crush or not, because it's not what you WANT TO DO with them, but the very feeling by itself is inherently designed for the purpose of creating a bond with your mate.

          I feel like I must iterate that I do NOT have a crush on any of those things. My question is: How is a crush not sexual??? What is the purpose of that feeling??? No one has answered my question.
          I'm just annoyed by those people who say crushes/romantic attraction is not sexual, or that asexual people can have crushes. Well, they can't.

            Crushes are sexual most of the time but you can also just see someone as a very compatible partner that also happen to be fuckable. Also legally fuckable.

            Read my comment replying to one of the other people. I ask this question because I am ASEXUAL. And because I believe asexual people do not have romantic feelings or crushes because they are inherently sexual by nature.
