Is there a term for people who don't have interest in sex and/or are repulsed by it, but are very romantic and still feel slight to some physical attraction?

I was going to say "Isabella", but wouldn't asexual suffice?

^ :lol:
Yet I read somewhere that asexual also means that you don't feel physical attraction to someone? :scratch: :?
There's so many terms these days, I keep getting confused.

"Asexual, not aromantic" perhaps?
I'm not sure being repulsed by sex is the same as having no interest in it though. It seems a genuine non-interest wouldn't have the investment to be repulsed, in the same way most other activities that aren't interesting don't inspire revulsion. Maybe I'm wrong, since an asexual existence is outside of my experience.

I would say that applies to me as well but I wouldn't say 'repulsed' as much as 'find it deeply difficult to reach that point responsibly".

I've spent well over 15 years of my existence hooked on a perception of "love" all the while ignoring everything else. Holy **** I'm stupid.

Am I nerfed, or have I just not tried hard enough?

No sir, as you have proven yourself to at least make a honorable choice of trying, so don't fault yourself over that or not acquiring the definition of love. In many ways I had done such a long time back yet, with miserable results;whereas, these days I tend to let things or people pass me by as, deep down inside I feel such is for
generations of autistic younger than myself..
