Are we talking people who have had their gonads removed and don’t have any hormone replacement? Are we talking people born completely without any system for producing sex related hormones? Are we including around/ace people? I feel like there’s a lack of definition but I’m not 100% sure it matters.
Not being part of this group, I’m just going to take a shot in the dark and say it depends on the person. You don’t necessarily need to feel romantic attraction to a person to empathize with characters in a fictional story. You also don’t even need to empathize with the characters to find the concept interesting. Just like folks who do have sexual or romantic feelings, some will enjoy those types of stories and some won’t.
