What am I?

[Crystal3]

Okay, I'm very aware I'm not asexual and don't know how this wedsite works, so I'm very sorry if I'm doing this wrong / offending people. But I'm wondering what I might be? I want a romantic relationship, am fine with kissing and cuddles, want children and am desperate to be a Mum, but the thought of sex terrifies me. Like, a lot. I hate nakedness and hate being touched and seen. I don't know if anyone can help, I guess I'm just curious? Thanks,

C

Hello Crystal3, welcome to these forums. Before anything else... have some cake  :-)

 

None here can tell you what you are. Only you know exactly how you feel, so it's up to you to describe yourself. But we can make suggestions, or point out some things you could research to find suitable labels.

 

Have you read about the difference between romantic attraction and sexual attraction? http://wiki.asexuality.org/Attraction

Asexuality describes the absence of sexual attraction and/or desire. You could be asexual, while still desiring a romantic relationship, sensual touches, and kids.

 

Your thoughts about sex suggest that you're sex-averse or sex-repulsed.

I hope this helps you in your search. Feel free to come up with more questions, or to tell us more about yourself. There's always someone around willing to give support :-)

@roland.o's answer is already really good, so all I'm going to do is drop this here
