Star Bit Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Asexuals don't feel sexual desire; that's the very purpose of the orientation. Unless your english is poor and you mean "as an asexual i wonder what sexual desire feels like". In that case, it's like desiring anything else; you yearn to have your favorite food, you yearn to hug your cat/dog when you get home, except sexual desire means they yearn to have sex for sexual or emotional pleasure. Also, because of your title i want to clarify that asexulity and aromanticism are two different things. And because of your post i want to clarify that demisexual does not mean being comfortable with sexually compromising after an emotional bond, it means they desire sex after that bond.

HighDrive Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The simplest exanation I can find is to compare desire with hunger or thirst. It is the feeling of something lacking. For all we talk about how good sex is for us, desire is not the good part. In fact, desire makes us do stupid things. Eating is the good part. Hunger isn't. I hope this clarifies.
