So, my microphone was turned off. 🙈 We're using the onboard camera mic today. I cleaned it up best I could, but I'll have the transcript enclosed here too, in case you'd rather read it.

Anyway hi! Do you have any "casual" romantic or sexual relationships? If yes, do things ever feel uncertain or unclear? Do they say one thing, but do another? I've got a few thoughts on that. I'll share how I vet people who say they "don't want anything serious", and advocate for my needs in anything from one night stands to long term friends-with-benefits. Maybe it will be helpful for you!

Casual doesnt have to mean unclear

I can’t disclose how happy I am for finding you. I most appreciate the magic of social media algorithms, and you for explain this topic with easiness and level of maturity i was looking for. I’m monogamous but there was a lot of interactions in my past, that weren’t the best because of my lack of knowledge. Thank so much. For this. Thank you.

This is a really lovely approach to discussing "casual." As a grey-asexual, I especially appreciate you talking about how these connections don't always involve sex. I have two friends who I have casual makeouts with sometimes. One is a newer pal (he also follows you on Insta!), and we describe ourselves as having a serious friendship with casual benefits. The other is an ex-girlfriend; we are still chosen family to each other, but how physically expressive we are about our affection varies. --Kit
