I'm ace. Just literally feel no sexual attraction, or real desire to engage. Attempts to have platonic relationships end up creepy so I end up just staying to myself now.

There's an app called Aceapp and it's like a dating app just for ace ppl. You can also just look for friends, it depends on the setting you make. I actually used it few years back and I met a dude and we went to Prague pride together and met up with other asexuals. That was probably the most social moment in my life...usually I don't do this kind of stuff lol but yeah the app is cool

I am not, but I confess that I'd like to be.
This topic is rather interesting.
While I am not sure if the asexual term applies for me, since I would quality as a heterosexual, it seems like my life has been split into the two...
While at the hospital, mental one, some of the doctors would say that my view on things in an asexual manner are due to my mental illness.
I would end up for months not being able to look or think of anything love or intimate or romantic, with a sense of positivity towards it or a sense of attractions.
Other times I would consider it just fine. It's odd.
Either way, asexuality is not something that should be viewed in a negative way. I just wish I knew why it happens to me.

What a stupid, idiotic thing for the doctors to say.

Asexual heteroromantic, mayhap? I once thought I am heterosexual too until I realised that sexual and romantic orientations are two different types of attraction.
Total mind fuck, I know. It's a larger mess for me even.
I think you are right though, had to wiki that stuff and well...
I guess the difference is there.

Thank you for those Skathon!
Gonna bookmark them for now to check out later.
I would say I am the same, sexual topics are really not a thing for me, I keep them to myself.
However, romantic feelings or attraction towards others, I can relate to that.

I am asexual. It is so nice to see this forum has some other asexuals.

Heck...me again resurcitating an old thread. Anyways....i'm asexual and this is another reason for me to CTB. The dating pool is small and at the age of 37 even smaller. Anyway....if anyone who's also asexual would like to talk to me...pm!

I have thoughts that aren't asexual, but I have a body that certainly is. It's been that way for years. I wish it weren't so.
The doctors aren't able to offer anything useful. It's a medical crap-shoot.

Yep! I'm interested romantically in women so it makes me a lesbian-ase (if that even makes sense) as in I'd get in a relationship with another woman, but when it comes to sex, blegh. I really wish sex would be an afterthought with a lot of people but heyyy. That's the world we live in :/
But trust, you're not alone.

I'm not asexual, but I dislike sex talk, sex scenes etc because it makes me envious of the opposite sex for having their body. I am very dysphoric. Ofc I won't be having sex before i CTB for reasons, so maybe I am asexual not by choice?

My sibling is ace. I don't get it, but I try to understand.
I know you get a lot of shit from allosexuals, like "you didn't have sex right yet" and invasive questions like "do you touch yourself" that you normally wouldn't ask to anyone else on the street.
On the other hand, at least you don't have this stupid sex drive and constant need of validation of another person. Allosexuality has its drawbacks
Hang in their, aces and people on that spectrum are chill too

Hi I am asexual and somewhat aromantic. Not really repulsed by representation of sex in movies or TV, just doesn't really do anything for me. Can probably go years without thinking about relationships, until someone is genuinely kind to me

Never had sex, the idea feels just feels boring to me, perhaps if i had a shag that was satisfactory, ol dickbrain here might be interested? 
Still a virgin, don't really get love either, feels fake.

I am ace, that identity fits me well. Hate how sexualized everything in the world is in media and just talking to people. They can bring it up out of nowhere and I'm like why? I seriously don't know how people have sexual desire or crave it. Its bizarre to me. I've never been with anyone sexually and never wanted to. Never understood why people cheat because they want to sleep with others. Just don't or break up with your partner first? I do sometimes read sexual things and think about it sometimes, but would never want to do that with an actual person. Fantasies are more than enough. But it does get lonely not having many others that relate. Most people and doctors think that somethings wrong with u, that its your hormones or you're a late bloomer. No, just a sexuality same as any other. When I was in high school I thought that people having sex was a made up thing or just a joke. My friend told me she lost her virginity and I was so confused as to why. I almost came out as ace a few times to my friends, but never have because its my business, no one elses, but it would be nice to explain why I'm not interested like everyone else. I watched bojack horseman again last month and Todd is still one of the best asexual representations in media. Does anyone know of any other ace or aro characters in media? Or maybe headcanons you have?
