LucyRose257 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi there 😊 I started to realise a few years ago that I didn’t really fit into the mould that society tells me about sexuality and most specially sexual attraction. It was a confusing time thinking something was wrong with me because I didn’t feel sexually attracted to someone. Sure, I can appreciate when someone looks nice, and my body has some sort of reaction to sexual (fictional) like scenes. But I feel a massive disconnect between my bodies reaction and what I’m thinking? I have been in relationships before and they have been sexual relationships. Though the only reason I participated in the sexual part was an unhealthy mix of their large sex drive and blackmail around then leaving me if I didn’t... (don’t worry, a friend woke to me up to how unhealthy that was and I am no longer in it, it was a long time ago) I guess I don’t really know what I identify as, so here I am, getting some more information! And it is nice to know there is a community that is thinking and experiencing similar things as me. It makes me feel less like an outsider. Currently I would say I identify as a heteroromantic graysexual. I don’t know if this will change as I look more into everything but I am excited to continue this journey and discover who I am! I am also excited to meet more people like me ☺️ If you have any interested articles that helped you, please let me know! - C 28 From Australia! Link to post Share on other sites

Lichley Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Welcome! I don’t know about articles by Ash Hardell’s ABCs of LGBT is definitely a good watch, she breaks down all the terms (including a-spec identities) into simple to understand explanations Link to post Share on other sites
