Sex Heroes is an ongoing HuffPost Q&A series by Voices Editorial Director Noah Michelson that explores the life and experiences of people who will be challenging, and thereby changing, mainstream culture’s knowledge of sex and sex.
Steve Winter, a 34-year-old performance manager, and Thom Gray, a 26-year-old DJ that is deciding on get his masters degree in psychology and sexuality, are in various ways as with any other couple who’s been together for three years.
They like to get camping, spending some time with their cat, Jacx, and they’re currently putting the touches that are finishing their dream wedding, set to occur on July 21. However, unlike a number of other couples, they identify as homoromantic asexuals, or people that are romantically drawn to the same sex but perhaps not sexually drawn to any gender.
Steve and Thom, whom live together in Bristol, England, recently chatted beside me to explain just what dating is much like being an asexual person that is homoromantic why their relationship is not the same as “just being best friends,” their future asexuality-themed wedding and more.
