    Here's the thing, I like watching porn. I like masturbating to porn.

    So one would assume that I like sex right? (Specifically, Sexual Penetration.) But I don't.

    I hate the idea of it. I hate the actual act of it. Too many fluids and touching (sweat, semen, mucus gah!!!) , I find it repulsing. And I am so uncomfortable with the idea of something entering inside where my own piss comes out.

    At first, I thought maybe I'm being immature (like "eww cooties!" immature.) But now that I've heard about asexuality...I'm getting even more confused.

    Can anyone possibly explain further about asexuality is? I only know the basic definition of it but I need further understanding.

    Does what I'm feeling possibly be I'm asexual? Because the reason I am having doubts is because I like masturbating to porn and get aroused when looking at hot girls and hot guys. But the idea of actually doing it is so repulsive to me.


    If ever anyone can clear things up for me about asexuality, thank you in advance (&&&).

    I think Chip is probably the right person to answer this question. He seems to be familiar with the scientific literature in the field. What I have understood is that clinical asexuality is exceedingly rare. In most cases people just use the label quite liberally. Simple lack of desire does not in itself mean that one is asexual as it could be caused by underlying physical or psychological conditions.

    I have always considered myself an asexual because I have minimal interest in anything sexual and I'm rarely turned on by anything. However, I do not know if my case is asexuality in clinical sense or is my case caused by something else.

    Sorry, I can't help you with your questions, just wanted to say this is not actually true because women don't pee out of their vaginas.

    Hello, I'm an asexual :grin:

    I can't tell from this if you are asexual because you havn't mentioned who you are/aren't attracted to.
    To be asexual means you feel no sexual attraction towards any gender. Whether our not you have interest in having sex is a different matter. The fact that you like masturbating simply means you have a libido and this has nothing to do with attraction. From what you've said about disliking sex it sound very likely that you are sex-repulsed which again is different from sexual attraction.

    Asexual just means you don't experience any sexual attraction.
    Hope this helps :slight_smile:

    Asexuality means the lack of sexual attraction. It means you don't feel attracted to anyone sexually. That does not mean that you have to hate porn, or that you have to hate having sex, or even that the idea of sex makes you uncomfortable. All you need to be to be asexual is to not experience sexual attraction. For example, I'm asexual and I don't like porn, I don't like the idea of sex, and I don't want to have sex. But I know someone who is asexual and is very open to the idea of sex and had a lot of fun when they had sex for the first time. It varies from person to person.

    I can't really tell if you're asexual or not from what you said, but it can be a possibility. Have you ever felt sexually attracted to anyone?
