AnalogWizard Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've been reading the forums for a couple weeks and decided to sign up to participate in discussions. I'm not sure what the heck my sexual orientation is but I identify more with the asexual spectrum than any of the sexual ones. It was quite an epiphany to read the overview and general FAQ on the main site and be like 'oh shit I think that's me'. I'm new to figuring out this crazy asexuality thing but I'm glad to have found this site and gotten the opportunity to learn more about myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Lichley Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Welcome! Everyone is welcome here at AVEN. Take your time to discover what your sexuality is, instead of jumping straight to the first label you see (or do if it's that accurate) take your time to learn a few of the words. These might help. https://secondlina.deviantart.com/art/Sketchcomic-types-of-Attraction-298804729 http://life-of-an-asexual.tumblr.com/post/102762643654/desires-for-relations-based-on-types-of-attraction https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tQVvVhe6EPc Link to post Share on other sites
AnalogWizard Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thank you for the cake and the links. I saw that video last week and it was very helpful. Right now I feel confidant that I fall somewhere (not sure where) in between asexual and sexual, that's why I put up gray ace. Would it be more appropriate to wait until I feel confidant with a more specific label? Link to post Share on other sites
Lichley Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Your choice. You can choose whatever label you like, and change it later if another feels more appropriate. Don't rush into into it, just be yourself. The asexual community is all about openness, communication, and self-discovery. No one would judge you if you found something that suited you better later on and changed it. It's part of why I'm so confident to call myself asexual - at this exact moment in time I have experienced 0 sexual attraction, thus I am asexual until proven otherwise. If proven otherwise I can just change my label and continue on my merry way, no big deal. Link to post Share on other sites
