High libido aces, what made you realize you were in the ace spectrum ?
I am the opposite of that, I am low libido and sex averse, that was the main signs to discover asexuality to ME.
I want to understand more how the other side feel, the high libido (and sex favorable) aces, what made you realize you were in the ace spectrum? what we as ace feel the same that conect us ?

I feel condemned, I dont like being asexual.
Being asexual feels like a curse tbh. i see some people saying it's a gift but how exactly. I have no interest in sex, everytime I try to picture myself having intercourse Im like "ehm yeah no thank u". I also feel little to no romantic interest. but I dream about being loved and loving someone, cuddling, being happy but when I come back to reality I know Im unable to do that for.. whatever reason ?
I don't understand why I cannot be interested romanticly with someone even if I find the person attractive and interesting. like why. I see so many people in couple, being happy, hugging and kissing each other, this lowkey feel like a must-do in life, at least experiencing it once and it looks nice you know.
I just feel condemned to be lonely and sad and all that stuff, Im in my early 20's and Ive always felt this way, but that no-interest feeling became stronger and stronger as I grew up. My friend often ask me when I get a girl and I say jockingly "never bro Im virgin for life, im asexual" but they don't know Im being serious lmao... and it makes me feel kinda empty also... I know some people have way worse issues but man it feels terrible,

Why labels matter
Okay so I'm a 21F who recently figured out that she's asexual. I've never been a a fan of dating but ever since I discovered this label, everything sort of clicked and I genuinely understood myself a lot more. Because of this, I actually decided to break out of my shell and try going on an unofficial "date" with an acquaintance i've known for a while. It was actually fun, my asexuality was brought up at some point and I could tell he was disappointed because I guess he just wanted to hook up, but it was still an enjoyable experience. I quite like the guy but Im not sure he's as interested, which is okay really. I know it's not much but I never do things like this. Like I actually pursued a romantic interest! This is major for me.
Realising im asexual has made me so much more comfortable with romance, cause before, i just could never figure out why nothing used to work for me, and because of that, I never sought it out. Im now actually gout to put myself out there more, wish me luck!!

I am afraid that being sex repulsed means I am probably undatable
So basically I am a male, 35 years old. I am sex repulsed. I am heteroromantic but I doubt I can find a woman that is ok with no sex.

I’ve just told my boyfriend I am asexual and he said I am immature
Hello!
I’ve been dating with him since 10 months, but I’ve just realized that I’m asexual 7 months ago. It was a little weird to me to tell him about that because we just started dating, and also I was so confused.
Now, I have the confidence to tell him that, I thought he would understand me, because he’s autistic (I’m not generalizing but it’s a bit common autistic people are asexual).
And, he just told me that I am immature and after some months I will understand the sex significance in a relationship.
We argued about an hour, unfortunately he’s still thinking I am immature/younger for that. I have to clarify I’m 20, so it is not immature.
I feel so bad 😞it was like he didn’t take it seriously.
What should I do? Should I try again to talk him about it?

Is it wrong to tell someone to take their time when exploring their sexuality??
EDIT: I am ace (sex-repulsed). Stop assuming my sexuality... This really proves how many people can’t think without stereotypes.
As a psychologist, I see a lot of young people questioning their sexuality. They're in a hurry to find a category/group to fit in. And wanting to fit in is completely normal. However, I think it's way too early for many people to know who they are during their teenage years. Haven't even graduated high school, near zero dating experience, no job, no life experience. The American sex-ed is putting such a big pressure on them to figure things out so early on in life. Our brains are fully developed mid to late 20s. I hate to see so many teens, sometimes even tweens, having anxiety over their sexuality. They aren't even halfway to full brain development!! Plus, we are always changing as we age. There's really no point in figuring things out so early. To those people, stop pressuring and telling people that they should've figured this out in their teen years >:-(
As a psychologist, I also talk to some people who want to be different. Some just wanted to be anything but straight. They want to have this breaking news to get attention from friends and family. In where I live, there are some "treats" when a person identifies as part of the pride community in school or the workplace. So, some people wanted the treat and lie about their sexuality. I hate it when this happens.
So, a couple of days ago I wrote this comment on this subreddit:
>You're still young. Maybe you're ace or maybe you're just not ready. Give your mind and body more time to figure things out. Then, you will have more experience and know more about your feelings.
>I really hate how people are so quick to slap labels on themselves and others. Maybe they just want to feel special?
And it got downvoted by a couple of people.
And I realize that this post will probably get downvoted by a couple of people. And I sincerely don't care. It just means that some people aren't ready to face the truth.
I just want people to know, you are not valued by your sexuality. You are valued for the combination of all your characteristics. Even if you haven't figured out the exact term to describe yourself, it's okay. There are many languages in this world; each language has its unique words. English is missing a lot of words. You are who you are without those terms. It's okay to take your time.
