Any "Asexual" people here?

@yaasshat You can't make any conclusions about the general population based on the people on this site. It does seem to attract people who do not fit in the spectrum of what society may consider normal. However, you are right to think that asexuality is not very common. But in skimming the thread I only saw one person claiming to be asexual, with a few others loosely identifying with it. I'm not saying that any of the following is the case with those who have commented: some people who think they are asexual may simply have a hormone problem. Also, being less sexually driven is not the same as being asexual. And keep in mind too that there are a number of medical conditions that affect sex drive and gratification. Depression is probably the most notable one, but there are others that affect specifically sexual activity. The way the word asexual is being used in parts of this conversation isn't completely accurate, but it serves the intended purpose.

It could be hormones and it could be a low sex drive (libido). For me, I've had my hormones checked out and they are fine. They are normal. I have major depression disorder and take a number of medications which do can mess with my hormones and can decrease my libido. Therefore, I do regular blood work done. And it all says I am in the normal and healthy range. *It isn't a hormone problem.

I hope you didn't feel compelled to discuss your medical history because of me. I certainly didn't intend for anyone to try and prove their asexuality.

No, it is okay. I kind of say I have depression often on the Internet. So don't worry. Once again, from the last post: "I guess I feel that I need to prove that it is real because it is kind of saddening to think that I don't exist in someone eyes because they think my orientation is nonexistent."

This thread is going a lot deeper than i thougt. o.o Maybe being asxual is somthing i keep to myslfe? Lol

I am asexual and aromantic. I do not desire any kind of sexual relationship or romantic relationship. Being asexual or aromantic (or any other sexuality)isn't something you choose. It's something you were born with. Now, if you have any kind of weird question you would like to ask, go ahead make my day.

I am not Asexual if I said I was I would be lying! Though I will say that I am understanding of all sexual preferences. I've dated all kinds of people that had different sexualities, and I adapted to most!

Wow I really didn't think asexuality was such a mystery to people on the internet. I also kinda wonder why everyone here didn't just do a google search as soon as they realised they didn't know what it meant. I'm asexual-- I have absolutely no interest in sexual relations, but I do have an interest in a romantic relationship. I have never met anyone else like me in real life, and I would often get a blank stare when I'd try to explain it. Similar to what Rina previously mentioned, my friends would all have crushes on guys they had barely spoken with; and I just wouldn't understand why. I'd look at the guy and think 'yeah, okay. He's aesthetically attractive, I suppose', but that was it. Since I have no interest in sexual relations, I don't think gender makes any difference when I look for a relationship. I'd date a girl or a guy, based completely off their personality and interests. Aesthetics can make a bit of a difference as well, but it's a minor thing. The most important thing is my relationship with the person and how we get along and such. This does not make me bisexual. There's a difference between liking both girls and guys and not caring about gender. I've been told by my peers and adults alike that I'm still young and that it's 'just a phase'. And maybe it will change in the future. But it is certainly not something I chose, and it's not an experimental phase. It's just the way I am. I don't think I'm weird or 'broken'. ..But sometimes people go to great lengths to make you feel that way. Lately it's been a big thing about people being 'for' or 'against' gay marriage. And I agree that same-sex couples get a lot of harassment and discrimination and this should be stopped. But sometimes I feel like both the LGBT community and the heterosexual community are kind of ignorant when it comes to asexuality. I dunno. Maybe it's just me?
