Carbon dioxide Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi, I was wondering if I am asexual. One thing is that when I watch/masterbate to pornography tend to become aroused by only females, so I know I don't have a low sex drive because I masterbate. However my interest in having actual PARTNERED sex with another person is absent. Like I feel no need to pursue sex, but I watch porn and become aroused by females. What I want to know is am asexual or allosexual, and if so why don't I have any interest in sex? (I'm looking for objective answers) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The only factor that matters is not desiring sex with anyone/thing, so by the sounds of it you are indeed asexual. Many aces have libidos and use porn so you're not alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malickathetato Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Okay, this is all new for me too, but am I asexual if I don't want to be in a sexual relationship while still wanting to be in a relationship? Like, I want the companionship of a relationship just not the sexual aspect of it. I'm 18 going on 19 and I've never been with anyone sexually nor do I want to. I've always been like this and the thought of being with someone sexually makes me uncomfortable. I don't know, I've been thinking about this subject for a while now.

Rynn Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 @Carbon dioxide I agree with Anthracite_Impreza. Oh and look up 'autochorissexual', that may apply to you as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbon dioxide Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Does it make me less asexual if I am aroused by femalesnin porn? And is autochorisexual a real orientation or is it a buzzword to describe sexual behavior? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbon dioxide Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Oh and to the other user if you don't want to be in a sexual relationship but want to be in a relationship, that doesn't make you any less asexual it just means that you have a romantic orientation.

What you are aroused by is irrelevant, otherwise bestiality would be more common than homosexuality (most women are aroused by animals mating). I'm not entirely sure about autochorisexual, it's perfectly normal behaviour either way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could be wanting a queer-platonic relationship (look it up, I'm fairly new too) which is essentially a platonic/commited relationship. Some include cuddling, chaste (closed-mouth) kisses etc, but are strictly non-romantic so not a typical romantic relationship Quote Link to post Share on other sites
