Just a heads up you should probably not read the comments at the bottom because they are really rude.

When I learned what sexual attraction was in my early twenties and realized that what I felt was aesthetic attraction I realized I was asexual.

I confused both sensual attraction and romantic attraction for sexual attraction for years. Having a libido didn't help, because clearly if someone can get turned on they are obviously sexual, right? *rolls eyes* Oh how naïve I was.

 

POSSIBLE TMI WARNING: I remember how I decided I was bi was because people would ask "who do you want to have sex with?" and I translated that into "which is more appealing, having sex with someone who has a penis or vagina?" Both were equally unappealing so I figured that must mean I was bisexual since, hey, they were equal in their appeal level.

 

Still took me years to actually realize that my strong desire to touch and cuddle while simultaneously wanting to date someone was not sexual attraction.
