am i asexual?
im pretty confused on what asexuality is.
personally, i definitely feel romantic attraction and all. I also find people physically attractive (but usually only celebrities who are REALLY attractive). i know im Bi because i feel both of those things for men and women. HOWEVER, when i see an attractive person i feel it in my soul and im not like sexually aroused by it at all (for a long time i didnt know anyone could be sexually aroused by someones appearance).
i dont know how to explain it but if i see a hot person i cant look away and it makes me smile, and i have this really weird feeling, and the more of their personality i see the more attracted to them i am. but i dont want to have sex with anyone i find attractive. I feel like if there was a real person in front of me that was really hot id want to kiss them but nothing else at all. AT. ALL. i have 0 desire to have sex ever again.
ive done it before and i found it boring and kind of gross every time.
so is this asexuality? or is it just sex repulsed

Is there a label for this?
I think I've always been on the aromantic spectrum, but might have been able to feel at least some romantic attraction in the past, though I'm not entirely sure about that either. Anyway, if what I felt has been romantic attraction then the last time I've experienced it was almost three years ago. Around that time I got out of a toxic/emotionally abusive relationship and not much later someone tried pressuring me into a romantic relationship with them, reacting with abuse when I rejected them. That had happened to me before even before my relationship, but as it had now happened three times that people who have been romantically attracted to me have manipulated and abused me I've developed a strong aversion to romance and think it might have taken a way the little bit of romantic attraction I had left in me.
The closest label I've found is caedoromantic, but that one is defined as having been alloromantic in the past and becoming aromantic due to trauma, but I don't think I've ever been alloro since even before all that happened to me I'd only occasionally develop small crushes on people I was either already friends with or were unavailable (so I might have been a mix of demi- and lithoromantic in the past).
