Sleepysloth1234 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I believe I'm ace, but my hormones say otherwise. I'm not attracted to anyone sexually and the thought of doing anything sexual with anyone else almost feels gross. I'm just not interested in doing it with anyone and when someone shows interest sexually, I feel highly uncomfortable. But after a certain time of the month comes ovulation and I deal with it the only way I know how. So am I asexual even with a high libido/sex drive?(i dont know what to call it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yes. Plenty of aces and grey-sexuals have a libido. It's just a biological thing the body has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nutterwithasolderingiron Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 yup. i kinda have a high libido yet little to no desire to have sex......... well actually i've got a libido like a square wave. it tends to fluctuate between high (high libido) ground (no interest in anything) and the negative (where more sexual things actually freak me out) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sleepysloth1234 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Me too! How do I make up the fact that I dont want to have sex with my partner even though my libido is existent then? Because it's nothing personal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sleepysloth1234 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 I dont want them to feel inadequate or anything and I dont want to feel guilty about me not feeling sexually attracted to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't actually concern them as it's just part of your body. All they need to know is that you don't want sex. You're ace and appear to sex-repulsed and if that's true there's nothing to gain from feeling guilty about something you cannot change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janus the Fox Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 While terms like libido and sex drive are controversial, plenty of asexuals experience any level of physical arousal for various reasons not connected to sexuality. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nylocke Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think Vesper explained it best on their channel when they said that libido and sexual attraction were 2 different things as libido is just a body thing where as if it's "pointing to someone" only then it becomes sexual attraction xD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
