Question for asexual people

Well as an asexual, we can still date. It’s just that sexual attraction isn’t really a deciding factor. I legit can’t think of intimacy beyond hugging and kissing, and even that is too much sometimes. If it wasn’t because of societal pressure, I wouldn’t even feel the need to date or find the right person cause quite frankly I rather be a......   reply

agree with the comment that said you may be confusing asexuality with aromanticism. i learned i was aro ace when i was in elementary school and i couldn't relate to my friends when they talked about their crushes. even now, for the life of me, i genuinely don't understand romantic or sexual attraction. i've seen what goes on externally when peo......   reply

I am aroace and I've known that since I was 14. I'm different from my friends in a way that I've never been attracted to anyone romantically or sexually. Although I can still feel sexual desires(I'm not involved in those desires if that makes sense), imagining myself doing that with somebody is such a revolting idea to me. Despite my lack of roman......   reply

Ive had crushes of various genders but never had a need to actually make a move and be together, id find myself satisfied with being just friends even tho deep down i love the idea of finding someone you can cuddle with 24/7 and doing stuff beyond that (tho I admit it does sound kinda scary lol) I think i realized one time when we were doing one o......   reply

i'm actually considering if im aro-ace or not, i've never fallen in love or been able to experience feelings beyond greatly apreciation or platonic love, and i've even tried to force myself twice to like someone back when they liked me, but in the end i could never bring myself to formalize those relationships because i felt that the dept of our fe......   reply

realized my friends were being serious when they said they found boys to be sexy/ having physical needs. made me freak out because obviously not liking boys meant i was gay but nope girls didnt do it for me either. then i got a bf so obviously that meant i just had to give one a chance to develop those feelings. nope i hated it every time he touche......   reply

well asexual means you don't have the want for sex vs. aromantic which means you don't feel romantic feelings. I realized I was asex pretty early on when I started learning about those things cause I always though it sounded gross tbh I thought I'd grow out of it eventually, but I'm 20 now and the idea of doing that with someone really weirds me ......   reply

You can be aromantic/asexual and still be gay, bi, lesbian, etc...I'm aromantic and also possibly on the ace spectrum and pansexual. That's all I have to say. Others in the comments did a pretty good job summing up the other points lol   1 reply

Because I didn't like sex and thought it was gross/ was always uncomfortable with that topic. I would tease my partners and flirt but, never felt comfortable touching them more than a kiss or hug. I'd often in a relationship have to be begged for sex to put out and even then I'd dump them right after because I perceived them as a horrible person wh......   reply
