Sorry if this post is inappropriate, but I was wondering why dont I enjoy any kind of sexual activity. I hate sex and am not attracted to either gender. Is this because of the illness or am I just asexual? Any feedback would be nice

Things to watch out for are negatives and depression. They can often feed each other and it’s hard to find things like motivation etc…

Antipsychotics are known libido killers, so are depression and negative symptoms.
That being said, it is entirely possibly that you might be asexual, at least right now.
Are you able to complete the journey when you fly solo, so to speak?

Nah, I get no sexual gratitfication from anything.
“asexual” which pretty much means you dont enjoy sex with either gender
If you are asexual and enjoy it, than be who you are and embrace it. If you feel uncomfortable about it then do more soul searching. Whatever you decide we all support you.

It takes time and thought to sort out something like that. It will be okay.

The nice thing about labels is, you can change them whenever you want. If you feel asexual today, congrats on being asexual! If you wake up tomorrow and can’t stop thinking about butts, then you can change your mind. You don’t have to commit to being asexual for life. Labels are just there to make it easier to explain your own uniqueness to the world. It is totally fine to switch them as you grow.

That is true. Im pretty sure Im either asexual or the negative symptoms are acting up. If I want to date it may be difficult because most people enjoy sex though
I was wondering the same thing about myself honestly. I don’t have any sexual feelings anymore and I’m pretty happy about it. And now that I’m not married and have to perform I’m so relieved. I do like snuggles though.

Ace-book.net is a dating site for asexuals. You might find some luck there.

It could be the negative symptoms, I don’t have the motivation to date others.
But I don’t think this makes me asexual.
Like @Ninjastar said, they are just labels and labels can be changed.

It’s hard to tell if you are asexual since I am not you. All I can say is I personally have noticed I’m asexual cos I can’t seem to function when I look at someone with the thought of sex.
If you feel asexual now then that’s cool. If u don’t tomorrow then that’s fine. Like @Ninjastar said.
I think I’m an asexual for life though. I’m a weird asexual cos I can still see the appeal to sex I just don’t seem to be able to do it lol. Cos it screws me up.

@anon90843118 have you ever heard the term sex-repulsed? That is where you experience attraction, but the idea of actually having sex with the person you’re attracted to is horrible.

Some sex-repulsed people are asexual, but some very badly want to have sex, and just can’t get past how gross it is. Some are content to stay as they are, and others seek therapy to work through their fears/aversions. It all depends on what the individual wants to do.
