Does anyone else find the idea of people finding them sexually attractive revolting?

I was reading through the ace info here, as I’ve recently come out to myself I guess, and want to just immerse myself a bit more into all of the different ace identities other than mine. I got side tracked going through the page and ended up reading their info on sexual attraction vs arousal and then arousal vividly described by someone. I found the description of arousal extremely disturbing and revolting. Not the arousal itself, but he was describing looking at women in public and that just absolutely makes my skin crawl. I don’t want people to see me as anything sexual at all. I enjoy dressing in sort of form fitting clothes sometimes, especially tops, because I’ve lost 50 lbs and am finally at a healthy weight and feel shitty when I wear super loose clothes and can’t see my progress. Idk. The idea of random men in particular finding me sexually attractive is very disturbing. Does anyone else feel like this?

I aquired a cone, and painted it asexualy. Let it be a warning to those by my bedroom. No sex. 😂

Being a sex-repulsed gray-sexual is annoying

Sometimes my hormones gets the control and I occasionally feel attracted to people and sex seems like one of the best things ever, then other times I begin to realize how unhygienic and disgusting it actually is and I lose attraction for awhile. So annoying and confusing. It's a never ending cycle for me. Anyone else feel this way?

Does anyone else feel frustration, anger and depression from being asexual?

Ever since I found out my true sexuality, I still have this disappointing or angry feeling of being asexual. I feel like I’m not normal or that everyone else gets to be a human except me (and us). I wish I wasn’t asexual and that I could experience sexual attraction to somebody.

To create life, is through sex and even I don’t want to do that. Sometimes I wonder why asexuals exist.. like mother nature or God, whatever you believe in, created us through this sexual stuff for us to create life and there’s some of us who don’t get to feel that experience that others do of pleasure, sensuality and attraction.

I feel like I’m lacking something, like I’m strange. I never get to experience true lust or feeling of wanting somebody’s body or wanting to please them. Our world is so sexually driven I feel isolated and alienated about what it means to be a human.

Ace people have always existed

I have seen a lot of aphobia that insists that asexuality is “made up,” “new,” or somehow illegitimate because it was “made up” by Millennials and Zoomers.

I was charting my family tree today and remembered that my uncle is asexual. He is 77 years old and as a teenager in the 1950’s firmly expressed that he would never date or have a romantic relationship. He never has.

He was delighted when he learned the word (before he retired he was a high school teacher and learned it from his students). His parents and extended family embraced his asexuality (a couple people in the previous generation also deliberately choice not to engage in romantic or sexual relationships).

We have always been here.
