Mys Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So, by definition if I don't personally desire to touch anyone's genitalia or body in a sexual way, does that mean I don't experience sexual attraction? I do have sexual fantasies that involve me being on the receiving end though, which I don't know if that counts as sexual attraction or just sexual arousal. I also only think that people are aesthetically/sensually attractive as I can tell when they are good looking but the most I would desire is to kiss and cuddle. I never think "I want sex with them" or get aroused by their physical features or characteristics etc. Anyways, from what I've said, does this sound like I'm asexual? I keep questioning whether I really am or not 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Member5732 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 To me, you do sound like an Asexual. An asexual can have sexual fantasies and not have sexual attraction at the same time. And you can also have arousal. It's normal, I believe. So, yeah. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roland.o Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If you had the intent or wish to live out those fantasies, it would be pretty clear. But since you don't, I'm not sure what label I would pick in your place. Luckily, you are the one to choose your labels. What do you think describes your feelings better: asexual or gray A?

Lichley Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Masturbation, and sexual fantasies are possible for asexuals. However, if the desire is to have sex with a specific person then it's not fully asexual. Generally speaking it's called a libido'd asexual - when they get aroused but have no desire for sex with another person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lichley Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Probably spelt it wrong, but yes it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
