asexual

[geechild]

I have said before that I consider myself asexual. I tried to talk to it with my mom one time. she thinks I am just scared and will change my mind once I find somebody. I dont know sometimes I have dreams/fantasy that are sexual about the persons I have crushes on but that does not really mean anything. I some time have fantasys about beating up

I'm not so sure about that analogy- WHY wouldn't you beat somebody up?

In my experience in the asexual community and with telling people that I'm ase, people ascribe a gazillion different meanings to the word and people who identify ase mean a gazillion different things too.
From our long ago conversations, it is my impression that you are not uninterested in sex; you are repulsed by the idea of it. And that suggests to me some element of fear. On the other hand, probably somebody with a strong sex drive would not have those feelings.

I don't know; I fairly recently went on some dates with a woman who said she was asexual and aromantic and who is now in looove with somebody (who is not me). I might be a little jaded.

I don't see why people should think you need to be freaking out about it. It takes lots of different kinds of people to make up the world. What your preferences are is your business.
