do you ever feel asexual?

Post Reply New Topic

Asexual physically, since touching is kind of painful and all the emotion can overwhelm me. But mentally, totally sexual. It's nice and safe in my head.

Asexual, but I feel its a "you dont know what your missing" type thing? Once I have a boyfriend it might change?
Maybe not, I haven't wanted to kiss a guy since I was like 14. =)
Maybe its one of those things that once you missed it its gone.

Yep, I'm definitely asexual all the time but my psychiatrist wonders if its because of the SSRI medications I take for anxiety. I've read those kinds of medications can lower your sex drive but I really don't think its for that reason, I feel asexual by nature.

Sure, I feel asexual sometimes, usually on a 28-day schedule .. lol

At other times, I can be a raging she-demon, ready to jump anything with a penis.

I am demisexual bordering on asexual, aromantic, and, as long as it depends on what I feel about it, genderless. Figure it out.

I voted sometimes. I wouldn't say I'm asexual, as I do think about it occasionally. But my sex drive is much, much lower than it used to be, and it's been this way since having my first child 6.5 years ago. I also had a very low drive during the time I was on hormonal birth control.

I'm not asexual, but there are long periods of time when I do not like someone. I do have the occasional crush though, but it goes away within a week or two. I do know now that I am not, I am attracted to men. I'm just too shy or embarrassed to make a move sometimes.

I'm also very picky so I don't like men often.

BUT! I do love sex. And want it often. So conflicted?!

Having voted "Sometimes" before I've now figured it out. I'd not heard the word demisexual before recently and that's very solidly me. An autistic demisexual definitely makes sense to have interest in very few people because of having few friends (not that autistics can't have friends, just that its more difficult for us, which reduces size of potential interest set even further than just being demisexual).

Pretty sure I am, yes.

I've been told I am asexual by an ex-boyfriend...

My current husband and another ex-boyfriend I had thought I was far from it...

Yes I feel asexual for the most part. and that is exactly the state I'd like to remain.
But I have been very sexual in the past due to chemicals and hormone issues.
Sexual abuse history also plays role in women acting out sexually as well as well as the unresolved emotional issues.

I do like to find other asexual male friends for relationships if possible. So I could have discussions about spiritual sides of life and its beauties instead of sexualising everything in the relationship.
I have been in relationships with men who were only interested in me for sexual purposes which can be extremely traumatic for someone with asexual tendencies.
I also think being asexual sort of changes how you see your life and relationships with people. just like being a very sexual person tend to affect the life choices you make in your life as well as life struggles.

Also, I don't mind not ever having sex because I'm scared it will affect my creative spirit! I know Lady Gaga has decided to remain celibate because she fears that having sex with someone will drain her creativity. Which is kind of hard to believe since her outfits are extremely explicit!

Yes, I do consider myself asexual, I've never been interested in that kind of stuff. I consider it to be just another sexual orientation, like gay or straight, that you are born with. Least it is in my case and for many I know. I used to give interviews about asexuality in women's magazines and on two occasions, TV/radio. It was great fun!

I have no idea..
I'm into women in all kind of ways, but never had a decent relationship or whatever you do with someone you are attracted to. Did have 5 year of relationship (*cough* partner in household-ship) with a girl but wasn't into her in thàt way. Horrible. I don't think I will meet someone that I'll like thàt way and that likes em back in that way. So I'm putting this topic aside since it's only theory for now.

Maybe it's better to keep my illusion than to lose it in some stressing and disappointing real-life event

I identify as asexual. I have always felt that way and about 4 or 5 years ago I came across the term 'asexual' and it perfectly fits me. I'm not attracted to people (though I can find them beautiful, but that's no difference as finding a piece of art beautiful) and I really have no interest in sex and stuff like that.
