JodieTs has hit the nail on the head, at least for me. Falling in love is all about discovery and accepting the other person for what they are to a point where perhaps previous biases and prejudices become totally irrelevant. But the process is not especially about sexual discovery - it is about discovering the person. And JodierTs is right, the way to allow love to unfold in your heart is sometimes best achieved by laying aside physical urges for a while so as to get to know and appreciate the person you are with.
So my answer is ' yes ' if I fell genuinely in love. Nothing else would matter.
Nor would I debate definitions and conventions. They would not be a consideration.
Children with my own genetic make-up ? I am not able to have children, but surrogacy or adoption would be an option, if that is what my partner wanted.
Currently relationship wary, but still hoping, maybe.
