Hey, it's no problem. English is such a terrible yet wonderful language.
I just wanted to introduce myself by the way. My name is Aiden and I'm not comfortable with sharing my sexuality with the internet right now, but I love hearing people's stories and helping them with problems if they have any.

Dang... That sucks man. Just remember that this is probably going to just be a low in your life, but it is going to help you in the long run.
I was planning on leaving just not this soon lol.

Watch out guys. Don't rag on Bowie too hard. We'll feed his idea that everyone is being offended at him just because it's the trendy thing to do. Let's give him special treatment.
I can't read for **** tbh but hi your name's a letter off from mine that's weird
Good vibes your way, hopefully everything works out
Can someone answer this for me? What exactly is asexuality?
I know that the person is repulsed by sex but then I see people on tumblr who would change up the term? Such as you can be asexual and also enjoy sex! But I thought you wouldn't enjoy? Like eating but you're already full? I seen some people say there's a spectrum of asexuality, like hyper sexuality. Basically you're asexual but love sex, so then what's the point of being asexual? It's kinda like someone saying they're demisexual(getting a sexual attraction until you have a close bond) but nearly everyone waits to get to know someone before doing them. Everyone's sexual activity is different, ranging from low to high or even in the middle but what's the point is saying you're repulsed by sex but still want to do sex? It just seems like virgin-talk.

I think that it is different for every person. It's probably better to just ask the people you know what it means for them.
Hi all,
Please be sure to respect other opinions in this thread. And rather than attacking someone for saying something you don't like or agree with, remember that people often don't mean any harm and are simply young or lack knowledge about such things. It's always better to try and educate someone than to attack them due to a lack of understanding
(Oblivia helped me write this post, but she's sick and not feeling up to TBTing right now)

I think it's the lack of a sex drive.
Doesn't have to be repulsed. Pretty sure it's just neutral at best, repulsed at worst. Spectrum, yeah.
In that case I view it like "Well I'm not going to go active seek out sex but if I happen to have it, I'm cool"

I have actually. It ranged from people who never had sex before and just found it disgusting(virginity), confused teenagers, people who literally just want to belong to a lifestyle without any effort, etc. I remember one of my aunt's clients at work was asexual until her medication was switch. I believe it was SSRI's, Paxil in particular, have been known to make people 'sexually numb' and/or interfere with the ability to orgasm or to experience having a sexual drive.
Some people who I connected with had experience sexual abuse and just end up not liking anything sexual at all.
I'm personally a rape/sexual abuse victim and I'm honestly repulsed by sex. I can't see myself having someone doing something so intimidate with me for I'm mentally scare in what I went through. When I go on tumblr trying to look more into the information I see stuff like that and I'm not sure about the term anymore. Asexual= repulsed by sex*

Then it's not really a lack, just a low one at best.

You don't experience sexual attraction. You can enjoy sex or be repulsed by it. Keep in mind that for some people that sex is sometimes more than a physical thing. You can also have sex and not really be sexually aroused for some people.

So a sexual attraction and sexual desire?
That to me is like asking "well if you smell coffee but don't want to go get one right now, how can you still think it smells good?". Thinking coffee smells good = attraction. Wanting to go get a coffee = desire.
Asexuality is not a lack of sex drive, it's a lack of sexual attraction; "sexual attraction" being sexual urges directed at a specific person. An asexual person can have a sex drive (not all do), just as not all hetero/homo/pan/bisexual people have sex drives. Some asexuals are sex-repulsed, and some are sex-neutral or indifferent, and there are even some who actively seek out/enjoy sex for a number of possible reasons (it feels good physically, or as a method of intimacy with a partner, etc.). Some asexuals masturbate, some don't. Some asexuals are survivors of abuse, many aren't. It also may be good to mention that not all sex-repulsed people are asexual. Some people may feel sexual attraction to certain genders but the thought of acting on it is repulsive or even the fact that they feel the attraction make them feel repulsion.

Sort of.
Think of it like this:
A homosexual man will look at an attractive man, and he can feel aroused.
A heterosexual man will look at an attractive woman, and he can feel aroused.
A bisexual man will look at an attractive man, woman, etc, and he can feel aroused.
An asexual man can look at whoever is in front of them and never feel themselves be turned on by somebody else.
If their sex drive isn't like, absent though, they'll still naturally feel the desire for sexual release - but they won't get it from a person.
At least this is how I understand it. You'd have to ask someone who is asexual and isn't sex repulsed tho for a better understanding.

Ooh okay. That makes sense a bit. My first language isn't English so it confuses me a bit when I have to translate in my head(just with subject, infinitives, etc).
So I can understand the not getting aroused base of someone's appearance. I'm pretty see lots of people have and haven't. I'm pretty netural. So a asexual person isn't interested in your appearance and but can get off with about anything to increase their sexual desire(fetishes)- basically sex drive.
