Is anyone here aromantic and asexual?

Post Reply New Topic

Same but in the opposite way. I'd hate to every feel like a slave to my hormones.

I am asexual! I don't entirely understand what aromantic means. I have no desire to be in a relationship but I am straight - I have had crushes on boys before. So am I aromantic asexual or heteromantic asexual?

I'm both. I've never had a desire for dating or being in a sexual relationship with another individual. And no, this is not a phase.

Same. I've known since I was very young (even though I didn't have the words for it).

I've had people say, "You just haven't been with the right person." But I've had multiple boyfriends and tried lots of kinds of sex. I just realised that sex isn't for me. I feel much better living my life without the pressure to have sex hanging over my head.

I'm not a prude. I fully accept that the majority of adults have sex and that it's a natural thing. I mean why else would there be this many people?

By the way, I just realised that this was in the 'Women's Discussion', sorry for trespassing. Bit new so trying to get my bearings around here.

People have this weird tendency to ask me if I'll ever get married or have kids, to which I say no to both of them. They always say that I'll change my mind (I won't), even though they asked me a question and answered it for them.

Also I'm mute and autistic, and I'm not sure if that would make others feel comfortable even if I were interested in sex or romance.

I misread the thread title as "Is anyone here aromatic and asexual?"

I can see how being aromatic (smelly) could lead to being asexual!

That's me.

I can't stand babies because they resemble aliens and disgust me. I can't stand most public displays of affection. I don't get kissing (just passing germs from one another). I've never been attracted to anyone. I think sex would't feel good.

I just want good friends that I can trust and do cool stuff together and some hugs sometimes.
