What "type" of asexual am I?


Recommended Posts

I'm 19 years old and I have never felt sexual attraction to anyone. I see myself as asexual but I'm not sure if I'm biromantic or gray-a. I've already fallen in love with a boy and I'm in love with a girl. I've never felt sexual attraction enough to have sex with someone, but I used to masturbate a lot when I was 14-16 yo, and I still do but it's way less often. So, my doubt is do gray-as fall in love? Or... If I'm biromantic, is it still possible that I feel (rare) sexual desire (not to someone else, but enough to masturbate)?

Welcome to AVEN! :cake:

 

When you say "gray-a," do you mean gray-asexual or gray-aromantic? There are different types of attraction, and everyone can feel them separately. So you can be asexual (not feel sexual attraction) and biromantic (feel romantic attraction to 2 genders). Masturbation doesn't really affect your sexuality in that some asexuals do masturbate and some don't (libido levels are different from sexual attraction), but as for your question, yes! Like I said, forms of attraction are separate, so you can be biromantic but not feel sexual attraction or if you do feel sexual attraction rarely, you could be gray-asexual (and again, biromantic). Gray-a's can fall in [romantic] love or even platonic love. Take your time exploring, and see what feels right! I suggest the Romantic and Aromantic Orientations part of the forum for more on romantic attraction, though. : )
