doubting my asexuality (CW: MENTIONS OF SEX)


Guest

Recommended Posts

This is really embarrassing to talk about so please don't make fun of me.

So, I've been under the asexual label for quite a while and lately I've been having doubts about it.

I watch porn sometimes and I don't find myself attracted to the people but rather the act. 

Am I still ace???

yes. sexual attraction is when u wish to sexually engage or be sexually intimate w a specific individual and since ure only attracted to the act but not ppl ure still acespec; many acespecs have a libido too so if that clears up anything

Wait what is it called when someone lacks libido. Is there a microlabel for that. All I know is I'm sex repulsed. Is that the microlabel I'm kind of confused.

That’s just a low sex drive. I mean maybe there’s a label for it, but like… It varies from person to person even for allosexuals, and plenty of people don’t really have much of a sex drive until like, their 20s. It’s really not something anyone needs to worry about, especially when you’re young. 
Of course, if you find it helpful to use such a label, all the power to you. But I feel like society these days pushes people (especially kids!) to constantly overthink and compartmentalize everything about their relationship to sex, which I don’t think is really healthy. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. You don’t need to think about sex if you don’t want to, and how you feel about it doesn’t need to be anyone’s business but your own.

The micro-label for this would be bellussexual.

Disclaimer: I'm really not much into those labels, so I'm not that experienced in those things. I just looked it up for you.

Ace also means ace-spec, therefore it's not necessary to be totally uninterested in sex to be ace in this sense (for example, like greyasexuals).

There are plenty of people just like you who enjoy watching/readings things about ‘the action’ that are still ace! Just because you might watch that kind of stuff doesn’t mean you aren’t ace, being ace just means you don’t feel that kind of attraction towards other people! Your still ace so don’t worry!

I think it’s just low libido, it’s not necessarily a requirement to not have libido but generally attraction to the act but no specific person is more aegosexual.
