Am i Asexual or Bisexual?

[Gothhearted23]

Hi everyone, i know this is asked quite a lot... But ill make it short and simple...

Are you Asexual, if you have taken Medication and lost a once very high sex drive and libido, Completely...

And do NOT desire it to come back at all? Infact, gotten happier since it was gone?

i do romantically desire women and men, i am also poly.

But i do not currently desire sex and have been like this for almost three or four months and not seen any desire to masturbate at all either.

Am i Asexual or simply broken from medications? Am i welcome here on AVEN ?

I'm not really sure about your orientation, but I think others here could give you some insight on that.

But as for your last question~ yes, everyone is welcome at AVEN! :) Regardless of whether you're sexual, asexual, or unsure about your orientation, we're always happy to have you here.

I wouldn't say you are "broken" from your medication. It just killed your sex drive. Asexuals aren't asexual because of a medication, so I would say that technically you aren't, because orientation is something you were *born as. However you could probably "get away" with using the label to make it easier to find others like yourself (who don't want sex in the relationship either)..

I don't think you're broken at all, dear.

You're just that way and people should accept you that way.

If you fancy men and women, it's your personal preference

and no one else's opinion should worry you.

Of course you're welcome to AVEN..

we accept all people here so please feel welcome.

You sound like you're probably naturally bisexual, but turned effectively asexual due to medication. Stuff like that is rare, but it can happen - it happened that way in the area of romance when I went on SSRI meication about eight years ago. Pretty much killed off all "romantic drive" I had, which had been very strong before that... and yeah, I'm a lot happier sice then, too. :)

Either way, you are welcome here. We even have fully sexual people on here who are highly valued for their contributions to discussion, so no worries at all.

In other words... welcome to AVEN!

You are definitely welcome here. I know everyone else in this thread has already said that, but just in case you require one more person saying it to be convinced, I'm going to repeat the sentiment.

Some people describe themselves as functionally asexual. It's not quite asexual because it's not innate, but it's not quite celibate because it's not a choice to not engage in sexual activity. You'll still face similar experiences to many asexual people in terms of relationships and assumptions people make about everyone needing sex to be healthy. I hope you find useful information and support here, and find opportunities to provide input where it will be useful.
