I dont know if im asexual or just insecure

Hey, so 17F here! I was talking to some of my friends and realized all of them have a lot of sexual experience which...I dont have.

I used to have a very strong libido when I was 15 and I did a bunch of stuff (like pics) but never physical, and I feel guilty ever since bc it was with an older guy. So after that I feel little to none actual sexual attraction to men close to me...yeah I have a crush once in a while and I make sexual jokes about it, or I enjoy being called pretty or stuff like that, but im too scared to actually do anything. Also bc Im really insecure about my body.

This only gets worse when I get boyfriends...they always want to do soemething and I dont want to, I feel horrible but I genuinely dont feel the need to do anything sexual. Could this be me being asexual?

Libido vs. Sex Drive

Libido vs. Sexual Attraction***

My mistake on the title.

\---

Hello.

I have recently seen a few comments where someone was saying that libido & sexual attraction are two different things.

Is there anyone here educated on this matter that could help break it down for me? I would have asked the last commentor I saw, but it was on an archived post.

In the anime, James from Team Rocket (Pokemon) is asexual for sure

am i asexual???

i've honestly never really thought about sex as a genuine thing before, mostly because ive had no sexual advances. recently i had someone comment on something sexual related to me very subtly, and i felt like literally crying. childish, i know, but i just felt so upset for no reason. i don't regard sex or masturbation as gross or disgusting, but i have no interest in it at all and the thought makes me panic and want to burst into tears.

I need to share this .-.

Hey, I have never posted on reddit before but now I need some support from people of the ace + aro community… I have been out and proud as an asexual biromantic person since I think about five years now. My first ever relationship ended partially because I found out I was asexual during that relationship (but mostly other reasons this one just stuck with me .-.) and I got over it and when I got over it i immediately got a crush again (lucky me) and to cut a long story short I confessed my crush to this person and they were flattered but didn't think we would work out because you know … me being ace and all…. I think I got over that now. But now my best friend got a boyfriend. And I am super happy for her! But there is some part of me that starts to think again that I will never find someone because my asexuality will always be a problem. I know it's possible but I just feel a little hopeless right now and wanted to share this instead of botteling it up again.

thank you for reading <3

My godfather thought I was going to get a boyfriend after I came out to him

He really thought I was going to find a boyfriend, but I explained to him that I was aroace and I explained what it was and I also said that I wasn't interested in dating, and he understood well, he's like a father to me.

What more lgbt+ identities should include gender identity and sexual orientation to make my story more accurate /inclusive

So far I have a lesbian character and a bisexual character. What others could I add? It can be a gender indentify or sexual orientation. My characters are more than their sexuality they do have personalities, I just don't want to spoil too much but the lgbt part is integral to the story because it's a romance. One is an ambitious artist who has big dreams the other is a shy musician who doesn't really have much hope for the future. Originally I had something like 30 characters but it's been cut back to two but I think now I need to add more characters again.

Dealing with straight coworkers who are obsessed with sex and dating

I'm making a post here because I don't really know where to write this otherwise, really sorry if that's not relevant.

I've started working in a new place a few months ago and my closest coworkers are all women like me except for one guy and most of us are also in our 20's. Four of my coworkers are really, really obsessed with the topic of dating and romantic relationships. Two of them are mostly fine about it, like they're regularly mentioning dating apps and boyfriends but they're not overbearing about it either when I'm chatting with them one-on-one. The other two are really a pain about it though.

The first coworker is always badmouthing her former boyfriend and his new girlfriend, complaining about men but also how she can't live without them, gossiping about the men who work near us, sharing plans for her dream wedding, etc. She's also a huge fan of Taylor Swift, romantic shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty and romance books. Basically the kind of popculture stuff that I couldn't care less about. It's really hard to find something to talk about with her. Recently she has been acting kind of cold towards me and is avoiding to do work tasks with me when she can. So I'm afraid that she interpreted my indifference for her topics of discussion with me being rude towards her.

The other coworker isn't just annoying with the dating topic, she's straight-up obsessed with sex. She makes sexual innuendos almost all the time and is always bringing up topics related to sex, especially to our only male coworker. The problem is that she has branded me and another female coworker as "weird" and "puritanical" because we have shown that it makes us uncomfortable. My female coworker who is also uncomfortable about that is a very religious young woman and is now being treated as the "black sheep" of our workplace because she refuses to play along. Almost everyone talks about her behind her back and criticizes her.

My sex-obsessed coworker has said that I'm too "shy" and I need to "loosen up" with her help. She has this groupchat and I never posted anything in it because the only topic of discussion is just dating guys.

I'm afraid I'm going to be the next one to be treated like an outcast unless I try to get a boyfriend to have something to talk about with them or I participate in the sexual convos. I'd hate to have to do that but I also don't want to be excluded. I really don't know what to do...
