    People that I'm around 24/7 are not who I'm looking for. I've never felt any sexual attraction to any of the girls in my school even when I know they're attractive. All of them seem the same, and nothing what I'm looking for. So recently I've started wondering whether I'm asexual and it would make sense. When sex is mentioned it always makes me feel uneasy and somehow disheartened as girls in my school feel that it's so amazing and I find it gross.

    I always thought sexual encounter would be something I'd HAVE to do in the future however thinking about it isn't something that makes me happy. Don't know if I am asexual and I might be wrong as maybe I just haven't found the right person? Though what would be the right person? :\:confused:

    Your sexual orientation doesn't have to be legitimised by having sex or being in a relationship.

    I'm asexual. I've never had sex. I've never dated anyone. I've never even kissed anyone. But I'm still asexual. If you don't feel sexual attraction, you're asexual. It's as simple as that.

    The fact that you are grossed out by the thought of sex would suggest that your lack of sexual desire is perhaps caused by some mental block or repression rather than genuine asexuality.

    If you were asexual you would not have any particular feelings about the idea of having sex. You would not be grossed out or excited.
