Anyone here asexual?

[ebg]

Hello, I was just curious as to how many of you are asexual. I think that I am sex-repulsed, although I was weirdly enough hypersexual as a child. I think that my asexuality and feelings towards sex is one of the things that fuels my suicidal ideation.

I consider myself asexual, that's basically what I've been saying to anyone who asks.

I don't really like talking about it that much though, as I don't wanna make it my whole personality. I've also been questioning it for a little bit now.

I can't be arsed to change the label right now though so for now, yes. I'm ace.

I'm not sex-repulsed, but I'm not as interested in sex like I was in my younger years. Now I can care less if I have sex or not.

mostly?

i would consider myself both aromantic and asexual; i don't experience attraction-- romantic or sexual-- towards real people. but where fiction and fantasy are involved, there's a switch in my brain. it just has to be under very specific criteria. when i think about those fantasies being potentially real, it repulses me and makes me want to vomit.

sorry for the poor articulation. it's definitely confusing to people who don't deal with this, but for me, it's a mindfuck, because i may use the aromantic/asexual label but i don't truly know if that's what i am.

I am, yeah. I have no desire for sex and, honestly, I like it because I feel more free. I'd be way more miserable if I desired to have sex

I think I'm ace, averse to it. I've been single for years and asexual dating is difficult not that many of us and theres a whole spectrum of asexuality to navigate.

I"m a 33 year old virgin who has never dated. At this point, I don't know if I'm asexual or just good at repressing my feelings. Either way, I don't want to be with anyone because I"'m not sure if I want to continue living and it would be unfair to that person.

 

[harlow-paige]

im somewhere on the ace and aro spectrums, i mostly just say i'm demi because its simpler than explaining how both my sexual and romantic feelings fluctuate wildly all over the place. it just feels like such a lonely feeling at times, everyone else is almost obsessed with that stuff and i feel like i have to avoid it because it would be unfair to someone to be that inconsistent with how i experience those things.

i'm not 100% asexual, but I can't feel sexual attraction to anyone irl. I watch p*rn sometimes but it's like i'm expecting it or something so I can feel attraction only for those videos that people record of themselves. and I don't feel anything if I see p*rn without expecting it, or i'm too scared or nervous. if I had a p*nis i'd be safe from unwanted boners basicalyy lolll

 

[lostintheloop]

I think I may be but not 100 % sure .

I tend to be repulsed by intimacy, displays of emotion, and highly personal topics in general, at least in real life without some sort of intellectual wrapper or without maintaining enough distance.

 

[Gruffin]

A couple antipsychotic injections over a year ago left me 95% asexual. I think the sexual urge plays a lot into ambition and personality and the lack of it is a substantial part of why I feel like a robot that doesn't want to be here anymore.

Schizo meds totally killed my sex drive, i have not masturbated since late 2023

Yup, clozapine (schizo meds) also destroyed my libido and sex drive. I have no desire.

I've been to an ace meetup a few times as we as a narcissistic abuse support groups. The twitchy and standoffish mannerisms of people in both groups were very similar. I think a lot of people that are asexual are locked into a CPTSD freeze state coupled with disassociation. Porn, psych meds and isolation probably compound things. It's said there's a spectrum and that may be true but I don't think there are many asexual "purists" in that they're born that way as it's a diminished form of human experience.

 

[MANGIONESHUSBAND]

I'm demiaeoace. Personally. Combination of just natural lack of drive and also severe self disgust due to dysphoria. I believe I'll develop more of a sex drive if I ever start T and treat my dysphoria
Though I've never been hypersexual . I've heard that being simultaneously ace and hypersexual is not at all uncommon. Especially if it's from trauma
