Are You Asexual?

Post Reply New Topic

I have an answer that is a contradiction in terms: I voted hyper-sexual but because of the inherent dangers this presented me with I have been celibate for the past 22 years by choice. My sexual desire can be pretty crazy at times and I've had to relieve those feelings up to four times in a day but I realized early on that I would probably kill myself with STDs if I wasn't careful. So, as I said, I have been celibate and that is, I haven't had sex with a woman, for 22 years now.

Keep calm and stim away.

I'm finding this particularly interesting being demisexual and not personally knowing other people who are demisexual.
I don't feel so weird now.

I am also Demisexual and never met anyone that was as well. Most people are the one night stand type, I just can't do that. I need a long time before I can have sex with someone. When I do, I am incredibly passionate. Demisexuals make love in a different way, they melt together, really care and love.

I identify as Pansexual, leaning more towards females. However, I am wondering if I might actually be Demisexual now. I don't like the idea of having a romantic relationship unless I really feel connected to the person.

Not going to lie, I voted and already questionably regret what I submitted as a response not the least because of what my selection entails me to take into account.

I might as well be Asexual,but I'm not.I'm still attracted to women,but women are not attracted to me.That's despite of the fact that I'm not overweight/obese,have good personality,and have a high paying job.I have asked plenty of women over the years,including plenty of Aspie women and I was rejected by all women,regardless if the woman was NT or a Aspie,it didn't matter in this case.Now I have face reality that I will never be in a romantic relationship,ever.

Also, I must add, the browser thing fits me well

None of the choices fitted me. I am not asexual although I have been celibate by choice for about 16 or 17 years now. I am attracted to both male and female but transgender or cross dressed people hold a special fascination. My partner is asexual and transitioning M to F and although when we first met he(at the time) was not asexual for a brief period, we overdid it somewhat. Happy in our sexless relationship now.

I always found sex overwhelming and would go over the top - probably oversexed or hyper sexual. Not sure if that was a product of the abuse I suffered or what, but it certainly didn't help with relationships. I am much happier now that I am celibate as it was a confusing and negative thing in my life, and being female it was certainly not socially acceptable to be so voracious in my sexuality.

Interesting question w regards to Autism/Asperger's.

I'm asexual and aromantic. My friends and I like to joke around that I'm peasexual because I like to sleep with all of my plush Om Noms from Cut the Rope every night.

I'm definitely not asexual, as I'm in a committed relationship.

But asexual people are allowed to be in committed relationships...?

What about lithromantic? From the Asexuality wiki: Lithromantic is a term to describe a person who experiences romantic love but does not want their feelings to be reciprocated. Lithromantic people may or may not be ok with romantic relationships. Some accept reciprocated platonic love, or even romantic love, but does not find it necessary in a relationship.

I've always considered myself heterosexual/heteroromantic since I've always been attracted to men, and always had thoughts/fantasies of such things, but I'm not sure if I'd actually want a relationship in real life. I've liked a few people in real life (my "do you like me?" notes as a kid always got a No ) and any of the in-person men I've been attracted to are usually guys I've seen around or don't know too well. My main crushes are pretty much famous people. I don't think I could completely identify as "lithromantic", but might be able to say that I lean that way, since all my feelings are pretty much in my own mind.

Definitely asexual. I learned about it in my early 20s by accident xD
