I'm a straight guy, but my gf could be asexual. I need some advice

Hi, I understand what asexuality is, but I would like to get a few opinions from someone asexual for my situation with my girlfriend. Basically, she's unsure if she classifies as asexual yet, but there's a high chance, she basically does not want sex at all and she felt discusted after having sex with some fo the guys before me.

We've been together for about 7 months and never had sex because she was telling me that she needs time, her sex drive is very low, she can't get comfortable, etc... Now I kinda asked her a few times during this period for sex and she denied, but she gets uncomfortable denying me as I can notice. Few days ago we had a long talk and she said to me that she doesn't know if there's something wrong with her, or she's maybe gay, but most probably asexual, however she doesn't feet sexually attracted to me or anyone else.

Now, I have a few questions:

1. Do asexual people have sex at all or it's never an option and it's always a pain and discomfort? Because I am not sure if I should try anymore and I think she's too uncomfortable to tell me.
2. Is there anything I can do to help her to know herself better and find out if she's asexual or it's something else? We've also read on some disorders, etc....
3. If there are any couples here that are asexual + straight, how to you manage sex in the relationship? I mean I can handle not having sex somehow, but I am just interested in how is this managed trough other people.
4. Is my opinions completely wrong, or I am close to what I need to be?

Is being Ace kind of like how I don't feel sexual attraction to women but can still think they are attractive, pretty, aesthetically pleasing etc.?

Title. Hi everyone :) I'm a gay allo. I'm very sexually attracted to men, and have absolutely no desire for any kind of sexual activities with women. However, sometimes I can see a woman who I think looks really pretty, or something about their look that day is just like, "wow! You look great today!" despite having no desire to be with them in a sexual way. Is this for the most part how you guys feel for everyone (or most people)?

Edit: not sure if the phrasing could be better, but essentially I'm just asking if being Ace could be described as "similar to how a gay man feels about women, except for everyone"?

i.e. a gay man feels no sexual attraction to women.
Likewise, an Ace person feels no sexual attraction towards anyone.

As a 13 year old myself, is it okay to call yourself ace even during/before puberty

I'm 13 and have numerous experiences where people have said I'm not really ace since I'm so young, is this true?

it’s literally so fucking annoying when someone says aro/ace isn’t lgbt


i had this lovely girl pop up on my fyp on tiktok and she was talking about asexuality and how it’s a spectrum and i checked out some of her other videos and she said she considers herself queer since she’s ace and asexuality is a sexual minority and there’s people in the comments saying she isn’t and invalidating her identity.
and this person i’m arguing with is saying that my acceptance is tied into if the sexuality is accepted into the lgbt community when it’s not all i’m saying is that this person is being an exclusionist and acting like aces/aros don’t face oppression in relationships or from family and that they arent a sexual/romantic minority.
and it’s just like everyone is being a fucking asshole to this girl and she’s being really sweet about everything she even said that some cishet aro and aces don’t consider themselves queer while some do and she also mentioned that the A in lgbtqia stands for ace, aro, and agender, and people are being assholes to her and it’s coming form lgbt people and it’s really fucking annoying.
like this dude i’m arguing with even said that just because their initial is apart of the lgbt extension (ext being the qia) doesn’t make them queer, like wtf, you can apply that logic to intersex, pansexuals, and non-binary people cuz some of the extensions to lgbt that are around do have Ps and and Ns in them.
like??? idk it’s pissing me off that so many lgbt people are exclusionists and how they’re being so mean to this girl when she’s been so sweet about everything.
