Her Cheshire Smile

So, hi. I've known about this site for a year or two now and while I tinkered with the idea of asexuality then, I was also worried if maybe I was just more immature than I thought? So, I put it off. I am back now with a few more experiences under my belt and a desire not to add more to it or go further. I'm still not entirely sure if I'm on the spectrum since I still like people and their faces, holding hands and hugging, and the occasional, heartfelt peck. But now I just have less of the paralyzing fear that I'm bound to every choice I make. So, I'm here. Hi. Haha.

 

Anyway, that was my basic story. Outside of my possible sexuality though, I'm a girl who got my uni degree this year and am working as a freelancer in the meantime while I wait for the new school year to take my MA. While research on asexuality is something interesting to me (and really, send some good ones my way), I'm personally more focused on intangible cultural heritage. Also, I'm an Asian who studied Asia and would be interested to talk with people about that.

 

Other than that, I love and consume a lot of things. Poetry is good. Novels are good (I'm working through Kazuo Ishiguro's The Buried Giant right now). Movies are good. Anime is good. K-Drama is good. Overanalyzing series ('analyzing' is putting it kindly, it's more like randomly shouting "AND WHY THE HELL ARE ARYA AND SANSA DOING THIS??" every time I'm reminded) is good. And I like talking to people. Just a disclaimer though that I will be awkward to talk to. Haha.

Liking people’s appearance is called aesthetic attraction, while sexual attraction is thinking of someone’s appearance in a sexual way, and asexualality is the lack of sexual attraction, so if that definition fits you, you’re asexual.

Welcome! :) Like Zenzencat104 said, liking people's looks or enjoying non-sexual physical contact doesn't disqualify you from being asexual. Asexuals can experience aesthetic attraction (finding people attractive), sensual attraction (liking cuddles and hugs), and romantic attraction (wanting a romantic relationship).

Welcome, as the others have said, there are different types of attraction, and experiencing one type of attraction does not mean that you experience another.
