I don't know if I am asexual at all?


I'm a sex-averse male pursuing my master's. Due to my orientation and academic stress, I never had a relationship until recently. I finally began dating a heterosexual female who, initially, appeared to accept and grasp my asexuality.

I was totally truthful with her right from the start — I said that sex would not be included in our relationship and that she could leave if it was something she really wanted. She was okay with it.

But with time, things shifted. She started dropping hints that she misses intimacy. I politely declined every time, reminding her of my limits. A few days back, she mentioned that she wants to open up the relationship. She said she loves me but "can't live without intimacy."

I explained to her that I don't feel comfortable with an open relationship and that we perhaps need to break up if our needs are not compatible. She became angry and said, "Why would you even feel hurt or jealous? You're asexual — if you have no sexual attraction, you shouldn't mind if I sleep with someone else."

That really got to me. She also asked me to “reconsider” whether I’m truly asexual, which made me feel even more confused and invalidated.

I can’t stop thinking about it. Am I wrong for feeling hurt by her wanting to sleep with other people? Is it unreasonable for an asexual person to still want this above exclusivity like i didn't force her to remain in relationship I was honest to her from start, but what I say I don't know.

Asexuality and veganism get such similar reactions

Hi! I've been part of the ace community for years and went vegan earlier this year. As time goes on, I've been realizing that people respond to asexuality and veganism so similarly.

Not eating animals / Not experiencing sexual attraction:

"But everyone does it!"

"But it's natural, so you have to"

"You just haven't tried it yet!"

"It's just a phase"

Both asexuality and veganism defy social norms and abstain from common practices that are considered natural/normal. People really have a hard time understanding that!

God forbid a girl won't eat cock or cock 🐓😔

ETA: I'm not trying to say asexuality and veganism are the same! I'm well aware that asexuality isn't a choice. I just wanted to share the humor of how people respond to identities that don't align with the norm. And I just wanted to make my cock joke :(

Could I be Ace?

I haven't had a crush in years, but I like the idea of sex, but don't feel anything. I've talked to girls before, have had talking stages, I really did feel excited around them, and even when fallouts happen, I deeply feel emotional about the loss of connection. I'm very confused about my feelings. I know a lot of it has to do with my environment too, I'm socially awkward, have trouble speaking to people, and self self-conscious about my looks, so that can reflect how I feel about sex too. I just want to know what's up with me.

Why is it so difficult to date as an asexual?

I don’t know if it’s just the people I have dated or met, but a lot of people assume being asexual means they don’t date at all, like sure that is true for some folks but you can’t assume that. And I’ve dated an asexual before but they definitely weren’t actually asexual (no offence). But it’s so difficult to date as an asexual, because people I’ve dated clearly want sexual things while I rarely ever want that. Like why can’t I just have a normal relationship with love in it, I crave that so fucking much!

im so confused any advice?

for years ive been toying w the idea i might be asexual but i just dont know, i have been assaulted multiple times throughout my childhood and im sure that has a huge effect on how i view intimacy but i just genuinely do not care abt it, i could life 100 lives and not care abt having sex, if my gf asked me to be intimate w her i probably would but it genuinely slips my mind so much that i forget that its something other people enjoy, ontop of this i have always absolutely hated being naked or anyone seeing me “below the belt”, i could chalk this up to lack of experience or childhood trauma but none of it really feels true, im also scared to talk to anyone ik abt it because me and my gf share the same friend group and i honestly dont know if she would stay with me if she thought i was 100% against sex, i dont mind it i just dont enjoy it, is this normal😓

I swear being ageoseuxal is hard to explain to others. And confusing

definition for what ageosexuality is for people who might not know it: individuals who may experience sexual arousal, enjoy sexual content, masturbation, or sexual fantasies, but do not desire sexual activity with another person or wish to form sexual relationships with others.


I’m happy to be aegosexual because for the longest time i thought I was a fake asexual, i thought I wasn’t asexual because I enjoy nsfw content. But I never wanted to actually do it in real life and the moment I found this label my gosh my life has been so much easier.


But trying to actually explain my sexuality is difficult, it’s so easy to but people tend to question me because I’m such a sexual person, I like to make sex jokes, I like to talk about my favorite characters engaging in that activity,

It’s possible I may be hypersexual because I was exposed to such content multiple times when I was young, but I always hated the idea of me ever being involved in the said activity. Often I get people saying. “Wait, aren’t you asexual?” And I had to explain again my sexuality.


Part of me sometimes believe that people don’t believe I’m asexual due to this.

But my sexuality is weird, like I’m 100% repulsed by the idea of ever doing it, I hate even thinking about it but I do like sex when it doesn’t involve me at all. I like watching other people, I like being aroused I don’t want to ever do it though.

But is that reasoning valid to call myself sex repulsed?

This post doesn’t make much sense I’m sure but I needed to get some of these feelings out.

Does this count as asexuality?

Super confused here 🫠

So I came out as pansexual as a teen, because I'm romantically attracted to any and all genders. I'm also sexually attracted to any and all genders - BUT, I never ever want to have sex. I have in the past, and each time it's just solidified it more and more for me.

Does asexuality mean lack of attraction and desire? Or just attraction?

I'm a big reader, romances are my favourite, and I don't mind if they get spicy, I'm not repulsed or anything like that, sometimes I even enjoy it. But again, I don't want to have sex with literally anyone? It never crosses my mind when I meet new people either.

I do have a history of trauma so honestly don't know if that impacts things, but basically I'm wanting to know:

Is there a term for experiencing romantic attraction, sexual attraction rarely, but never wanting to act on it? Or is celibate the only real word for it?
