I'm a hetero-romantic gal, I've always found lust scary and sex repulsing, yet all the NTs I know are obsessed with it. It seems like theres not an ounce of innocence left in the world :/ I've heard that aspies sometimes don't like touch, or romance, which sounds kind of similar to asexuality. Do ya'll think I'm asexual because of aspergers? Is anyone else an ace?

Could be from having Aspergers Syndrome or it could be from something else. I myself don't truly care about being in a relationship which is why I've never had a girlfriend.

When I was younger I thought I might have been asexual, but in reality my attraction was delayed and I eventually began to become attracted to girls. Though I am still shy around them and have never had a real girlfriend, and don't mind being single. And I have very, for lack of a better word, conservative views in regards to the matter of intimacy.

It could be that Asperger's has the effect of delaying the development of attraction; so your development of attraction could be delayed, or you could actually be asexual, you would be the only one who would be able to tell which.

Do you aware that being asexual means that you can pull of your finger, and grow another person from it identical to you in every way?

That's the other definition. It is also a sexual orientation in which you basically don't feel sexual attraction.

I don't know.
Some people think I am asexual, but I myself am not sure.
