Doubts (from someone who doesn't know if is asexual or what)
(First post in here)
Hello everyone! So, there have been some doubts in my mind since some time and I don't know what to think. I am not too aware or informed at all about asexuality so maybe I am asking for things that are "obvious", so sorry since here.
I enjoy masturbating, I have sexual fantasizes and even had had them about celebrities. But the problem is that I don't want those ideas to happen in real life, not only because the idea itself but because I can't imagen myself in an intimate scenario with someone (I even laugh about once I dreamt about how one of those celebrities flirted with me and offered me to go with him to his room and I was like no thanks, besides everything I had thought about him lol). It's like I prefer those scenarios to keep in my mind. Also, it goes with the fact that I don't have problem about reading/watching other people having sex, even I can imagine myself in the situation but, again, not imagine myself doing it some day.
I insist, I know little about asexuality, so I don't know if these kind of questions might be related or are totally out of context. If someone could bring me a hand with these, I'd be grateful.
Thank you all since here.

I don't know how to tell this guy that I think I'm asexual - help please!
Reaching out to this community with my tale so I can gauge how to broach this. I recently had a bit of a breakthrough with my therapist and uncovered that I may be asexual. I don't really feel sexual attraction towards real people (fictional characters are the exclusion). I have no desire for sex with another person and am opposed to most physical touch in general. Now, I have been dating this guy for a couple months now and we've hugged and held hands but even that has felt really weird to me, like it's wrong for my body to be doing that. The other night after a date he wanted to kiss me but I managed to brush it off as I don't feel comfortable, but didn't know how to tell him. He kissed my cheek and I spent the whole drive home trying to get the feeling off my cheek, very upset. He keeps telling me that I'm beautiful and sexy and I feel really uncomfortable when he says those things. I don't know how to tell him that I think I am asexual and that I don't like the advances, however pure-intentioned they may be. I think he's a lovely and respectful guy, but I can't really see him being okay with me essentially saying "Don't touch me." HELP!

My friend just told me this and it’s too good not to share.
My friends boyfriend: “You know, I just can’t imagine me ever having sex. She’d just stare into someone’s eyes and that’s intimate enough for her.”
My friend: “You know she’s ace right?”
Boyfriend: “That actually makes so much sense.”
There’s no way he actually knows what asexuality is. He barely knows me. But he still managed to completely figure me out. I give off ~the vibes~ apparently.

Kissing
Had my first kiss at 18 a month ago. Felt nothing? Lol
No butterflies no elevated heart rate or nervousness, just a bit of disgust and maybe some guilt.
Well I can tick that off my list and safely say I won’t be doing it again

Dear Allos, stop asking me about my personal life.
Whenever I come out to lgbtq accepting people as lesbian, it's always just "Oh, congrats! Proud of you."
However, coming out as ace always results in a 2 hour interview as to how the hell I could possibly be asexual.
Look, I understand that asexuality isn't as talked about. And I understand curiosity. But they're strange investigations border more on close mindedness.
They probe me for answers about trauma, sexual history, etc, even when it's someone I don't even know well enough to even open up to about that. What a strange way to say you can't just accept my sexuality as it is. Do your research before psychoanalyzing me.
