Hi, Am I asexual?


Recommended Posts

Hi, so recently I've admitted to a group of people that I find the idea of sex enjoyable, but not the act itself. Like, I enjoy reading about it, watching porn, I get the horny from time to time. But the concept of having sex just makes me... uncomfortable.

It's a recent development, and I hope I can find an answer to this :)

Hi
Being uncomfortable with sex could be from different reasons, so would probably take to follow whatever feels good to you and see how that ends up, that is continue to learn what you like and don't like (and makes comfortable or uncomfortable).

 

Feel free to share more.

I don't want to is test anything. Sex doesn't appeal to me in real life, but it also makes me uncomfortable.

Quite possible you could be on the asexual spectrum of some kind, yeah.
If you never feel drawn to sexuality with real people then that's pretty much asexuality.

 

Most important is to be true to yourself, however it goes.

Hi, @persephobee, welcome.

 

Two of the different definitions of asexuality are:

  1. experiences little/no sexual attraction
  2. has little/no desire for partnered sex

Whether these definitions (among others) apply, you know yourself the best to decide.

This describes one's attitude toward sex. One's sexuality is determined by one's own feelings around attraction/desire and whether this attraction/desire is directed toward another person/other people.
