TigerEcho Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 There it is. I'm asexual. I have questioned who I am, what I am, why I am the way I am. I don't want to have sex with women. I don't want to have sex with men. I don't want to have sex with anyone or anything. I feel an aesthetic attraction to and an appreciation of women as well as a romantic and emotional connection with them. I like kissing, holding hands. I have no hang-ups about being naked or laying in bed with a woman however I have no desire to take it further than that. I don't know what that makes me but I lack the sexual component. Romantic companionship is as far as I want or need to go. I have had sex but it did nothing for me and it was a 1 time only thing. I am drawn to people's minds and their character. That's what turns me on if you like. Anyhow, that's me. It's good to be here. TE. Link to post Share on other sites

NickyTannock Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Welcome to AVEN! That makes you Asexual. Asexuality is a lack of Sexual Attraction, which we define as leading to the desire to have sex with someone. But there are other types of attraction besides Sexual Attraction. There's Romantic Attraction, which we define as leading to the desire to have a romantic relationship with someone. There's Sensual Attraction, which we define as leading to the desire to have intimate non-sexual physical contact with someone, like kissing or cuddling. There's Aesthetic Attraction, which we define as leading to the desire to appreciate someone's aesthetic beauty. There's Platonic Attraction, which we define as leading to the desire to have a deep friendship with someone. And more. Incidentally, it is a tradition here to welcome new members by offering cake, and here's a Tiger Cake, Link to post Share on other sites
