LenaLuthor Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I noticed that i was attracted to women in every way but sexually. Because everyone around me was attracted to women in every way including sexually, I started wondering why I was different. I also wondered if perhaps there was something wrong with me. So, I did some searching on the internet and found out about "romantic asexuality". This definition fit me perfectly, but I wondered if there were other people who liked people but did not want to have sex with them. So, I searched for asexual chat rooms and forums and found AVEN. I am so glad to have found this site. I am also so glad that I am not a one-off case and that other people like people in non sexual ways. I have always felt sex repulsed. When I see a woman that I am attracted to, I don't think I would like to tap that., or any such. I get this urge to cuddle with her and kiss her and massage her, but that's it: nothing sexual.

grACEie Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I found this site a few years ago, but just registered because I think i'm finally comfortable enough to acknowledge my sexuality. im not broken, im not weird (maybe a bit), and this is just who I am. I actually found out about asexuality (and this is embarrassing!) on that infamous House episode. All my life I was so confused what everyone was talking about, I never understood crushes or when people would ask me who I liked I was oblivious. I eventually learned the lingo and I can fit in now, but I still have never been able to truly relate with my friends in that way. I had a 'boyfriend' for like a week in high school, when a good friend asked me out and then I realized he might want to kiss or something and I freaked out because I did not want that and I really just wanted to stay friends like we were, and this realization of me liking someone but not liking them sexually was frightening. I was super stressed out about it, and felt very broken. that episode, while ending not how I would like, introduced me to the term and I identified with it. I found this site and everything made sense. I no longer had to stress about 'choosing' if I was gay or straight or whatever, which I always thought I would because I figured I was just a really late bloomer or something. I am so happy to have found this site, and even though its taken a few years to accept myself, I think Im ready to start opening up to people, and I think its good to start with a community of like minded individuals. :) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Funnily enough, from one of the first random Google results when searching "polyamory". :) Link to post Share on other sites
spiderwoman Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I saw something about Asexuality on Tumblr and so I used Google and came here. Link to post Share on other sites
