Fellow asexuals?

[manderley]

Apparently it's asexual awareness week, so just thought it might be interesting to see how many of us there are on here?

I'm asexual too. There have been many asexuals that have come and gone on ss

I am on the spectrum

How do you all describe yourselves (e.g aro, grey, demi etc.)

I'm on the extreme end – as in, I'm kiss/sex repulsed. I'm also aromantic.

Just somewhere in the middle ... I am not extreme

I'm aromantic but sex neutral and kiss neutral.

Question to you asexual guys, was it like that your entire life? For me, I lost interest in ANYTHING sexual and romantic after some traumatic experience as a teenager and young adolescence. I suffer because of this for real.

I'm not comfortable with sex, it's just weird for me. I don't know why; I'm better off doing something fruitful such as reading or die.
But deep inside I wanna a relationship minus the sex, but it's impossible to find one.

There are asexual dating websites and discords.

I'm an extreme ace. I'm aromantic as well but that may actually be a byproduct of being a depressed, antisocial asshole.

I am not certain whether I lack any sexual desire owing to being sterile or initially asexual, for I have become the former before my attraction could be formed.
Being heterosexual but sterile or asexual heteroromantic leads to the same result, making it ambiguous, unfortunately.
Though, I am also disgusted by any... carnal pleasures (if they involve me) and being born with/having a reproductive system (the latter is one of the two main reasons of my suicidality).

I don't know if I should post to this thread - can delete this - technically bi but it's just been rare that I'm attracted to someone. Also a series of people became manipulative, coercive and harassing to me, which ruined a lot of future experiences too with constant anxiety and hypervigilance.

But even on the occasions when I felt physically attracted to people AND safe pursuing something with them - the need for nonsexual intimacy was still so so so much LOUDER. At this point I feel I'd rather end my life than have sex with people again, but also I worry that I'll get so worn down that I'll let it happen. It was nice to have someone with me when I woke up in the mornings, it was nice to be able to hear other people breathing. I know that, besides ace-spectrum people, there are also people who do poly/open relationships so we could maybe be compatible because they could fulfill their other wants with other partners, and people who form monogamous relationships where they're fine with their partners being platonically affectionate with other people, and so on.... but I don't feel a lot of hope. One of the things that makes me feel most like jumping off the edge is the fear that I'll put myself in more damaging situations just so that I'm not alone.

I think there is a link to one of those discords on the r/asexuality or r/asexual sidebar.

Things like aceapp and a few other websites exist too.
