    Hi there,

    I have been very confused over the years, but I think I finally have become comfortable with the fact that I am more asexual than anything else. I desire a certain amount of intimacy with a partner, but more so a mutual understanding/emotional and mental connection. I am not interested in having sex with anyone (though I do get sexual urges, I have never felt like acting them out with anyone).

    How do others experience asexuality? I know it is a spectrum like anything else.

    I'm asexual and for me I have very little sexual attraction and at that I still don't feel the urge to act on it at all. I'm also really sex repulsed personally. I've never been an overly physical person, but I'm not aromantic.

    I have asexual tendencies but don't know if I am a real asexual since it could have been caused by my medicine. I just don't have any sexual desires at all nor do I really feel attracted to anyone anymore. I think It's been two years since I even had a crush.

    Asexuality is just no sexual attraction to either gender. That's all it is.

    Thank you both for your replies.

    I can identify with you purpleharley17. I am low maintenance when it come to being a physical person, and sex does seem repulsive to me. Not something I ever want to do. Just give me a hug and I'll be fine. :lol:

    Okay so I know I'm not asexual, but I can completely relate to meds leading to lessened sexual desires. Before I've taken those meds, my sexuality was a lot stronger. However, I need them to survive... I think I may be more attracted to women than men sexually, but I've only been with men, and feel sexually attracted to both.

    Hey Sebby!

    I'm an asexual aromantic, meaning I simply feel no sexual attraction (no one turns me on) or romantic attraction. I've never had a crush, never felt like I needed sex. However I have felt urges or gotten turned on by certain things occassionaly, but I never wanted to act on these feelings. I am also sex-repulsed like purpleharley17. I'm perfectly happy like this, I even had a queerplatonic partner at one point.

    Best wishes,
    Mel

    Hi Mel,

    A queerplatonic partner sounds nice! Why can't there be more people interested in an unsexual bond? (No offense intended!)
