I'm. Or maybe I suspect it. I never had sex before. Nor interest or any 'fantasies'. I never had a boyfriend because I don't see the need of it.
I don't have any concept of 'sexy'. It still eludes me. I could only grasp the concept of fetish or libido in intellectual terms, but never for real.
And me watching porn is no different than watching another biology video of humans mating. (Sorry to those who enjoy those, I really still don't get why people enjoy it.)

I don't feel attraction. Physical ones are nonexistent. Only fondness, and respecting admiration which isn't the same.

Perhaps it's another example of the Bell Curve, there are people on either end of the tails of the curve - hypersexual at one end, asexual at the other, and nearly all other people in between, with most falling in the middle where the curve is highest.

I'm pansexual, but I respect it when someone says they're asexual/aromantic.

I know I don't like to be touched by other people. For the time being, I'm assuming I'm as a practical matter ace because the tactile defensiveness kind of gets in the way of any particular desire for sex or ability to have a "proper" romantic relationship anyway. I get very strongly emotionally attached and attracted to people, though.

Nope, I definitely like the hanky panky side of relationships, although the medication I'm taking has subdued any desires for anything, so I'm not missing it. :)

You stated that so well! :D Do you really struggle with it that much? It must be horrible! :(

The first and only relationship I somehow stumbled into at the ripe old age of 24 (and after many years of bullying for it), we lived together for 6 months before we even had intercourse and the only reason that happened was because she caught me by surprise, first thing in the morning... If you know what I mean (wink wink)!

I slept on the lounge for many years, downstairs with my two kitty cats :)

I confess: I like the scent of a woman who is desirious of me.

Nope. My sex drive has been extremely high since I was quite young. I can't even begin to remember all of the names and faces of people I've been with.
That said, I never had much use for relationships in the past (outside of sexual) and, aside from the 'act' itself, I hate being touched. Sex, to me, was simply a way to release those chemicals in the brain that I find enjoyable. If I could have found a pill that had the same effect.... 8O

Definitely not.

99% of people are not asexual.

Altough I'm already 21 I'm not pretty sure about this.
I've been attracted to people before but I'm still not sure if it was with sexual/romantic intentions. This is very confusing for me.
At this very moment I don't feel attracted to anything.

Pure and simple question. Are you asexual?

(Probably posted this in the wrong area. I usually do that and let the moderators work it out)


It must be highly unusual to see a thread opposite of the typical asexual one.

I am not asexual at all....

Andrejake: How would you feel if you saw a woman wearing one of those bikinis on a beach in Rio?

Exactly, it's almost an annoyance. Sure, it's enjoyable, but so is eating food. If I could make it so I was never hungry again, but I never could eat again I would. Same principle with libido.

inb4castration- ha ha no.

the only annoyance of a high sex drive is the opportunity cost of time spent pursuing or having sex.. there are a lot of productive things I could do, people I could hang out with, money I could be making etc. but an annoyance I could do without? naaaah! :p

No

Sometimes the opposite, but it means being close to another person, and that's a huge problem. However, some aspies communicate through touch, and some are sensory seekers. Gotta keep that in mind.
