Acrylic101 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Every since I entered my teenage years my friends always talked about sex and things they have done, and I was there and was not interested in what they where saying or interested in having sex to be fare, but I realized that I enjoy cuddling and maybe just maybe kissing if its with someone I really like, I feel good with them, the people that I have a “crush” on etc, but when it comes to the sex part, I simply dont want to. does anyone feel the same way, why is cuddling and kissing with a partner ok but the sex part isnt ok for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blizzard Avis Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 While not the case with me, to my knowledge there is a lot of asexuals who are ok with or love kissing and cuddling. Neither of those two actions are inherently sexual after all. You could be ace, but there could be other reasons for that, and only you can decide for yourself 😊 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spent3YearsTyping Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hey Acrylic, I’m the same way. Just a few years into teen hood and all my friends have started ‘the talk’ too. I have a friend who I used to have what is known as a ‘squish’ on. I wanted to cuddle her and spend more time around her. This feeling wore off but before I ever considered that I may be asexual I thought that that was what people called a crush. I’m still not sure by what sexual people experience when they have a crush. Since then I found out about asexuality and have related to the orientation immensely and so have taken it up. Wanting to cuddle and kiss are for me romantic things to do, not sexual and so if you feel as though you are asexual, then take it on board. If you change your mind later and think that you’re gray-a or heterosexual then that’s fine. (A)sexuality is fluid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janus the Fox Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I prefer the company with a loved one than anything else to me. I don’t mind romance or sex with the current partner, it isn’t something I actively have an attraction for, even after 3 years being together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlamRocker Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I've been like you my whole life @Acrylic101, I'm 37 so it's been awhile lol Oh, and I don't know "why is cuddling and kissing with a partner ok but the sex part isnt ok for me." And I think the official explanations fail to explain it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theparkermathews Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I get what you're saying and I'm the same way. I love kissing and cuddling but when things get a little hot and heavy and sex begins to come up as a conversation topic, that's when I feel uncomfortable and everything shuts down for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexTheGrey Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just now, theparkermathews said: I get what you're saying and I'm the same way.

I either shut down or walk away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
