Confused sexuality

At first I thought I was asexual, then I thought I was a lesbian because I was asexual , but it made no sense whatsoever as I do not see myself with a girl. I never felt attracted to people in general in that way.

But then my partner suggested I might be demisexual… I feel attracted to him but it wasn’t instant it toook many many months!

I am asexual

I can’t orgasm with a guy

and I am not attracted to girls enough

and I don’t want that kind of sex where it is all for the guy. lol. sorry if I sound harsh but it makes me uncomfortable, with the right guy he will respect that, and not want to have sex me cos he will feel guilty. I fear that one day what if they are mean to me and trash me in a horrible way then I feel like wow all that sex and it was all for them what about me. :grin:

maybe you really were asexual but then it just changed to demisexual,like it was your sexual development process.

I feel the same… if I’m honest … i say I might be demisexual , yes I’m attracted to him but that attraction isn’t sexual for the most part I just feel comfortable and happy… it used to bother me i couldn’t all the time but he’s not complained and we’ve had an open discussion. now if he was someone who would keep talking about it and pushing it when I didn’t want to i would run for the hills and never look back

Im demisexual. Its part of the asexual spectrum. I like it because i still experience attraction but just rarely and it doesnt get in the way like it does for many sexual people.

I don’t think it is something to worry about @anon80629714. If your relationship was only sexual, there might be something out of place if you want to take it serious.

to feel comfortable and happy is he best thing in a relationship . no one said there has to be much sex or even any at all. for it to be a happy romantic relationship.

I’ve met guys where I’ve felt really awful about myself for not experiencing those feelings. Thought I wasn’t normal. hence why I say I couldn’t be with someone who constantly talked about it or wanted it … we wouldn’t work…

That’s a pretty natural feeling though. If you are looking for a serious relationship, the guys who are putting sex forefront are probably people to avoid.

I think that part of sexual confusion could involve not liking some other stimulation. One school of thought is that provided we use protection, that good, safe sex, in a relationship is acceptable. It’s good. So, the problems come up like caffeine, sugar, nicotine, marijuanna. Something like this, or some other form of conspicuous consumption is a problem. Other people could be manipulating your expectations like a beer commercial.

I’m am definitely asexual. I have no interest in either sex or affection or companionship with anyone.

I think I may be the same way my whole life I was never sexually attracted to anyone. I had a sex drive and got horny I just had no real desire to act on it and found actual physical stuff gross. I got crushes on guys, fell head over heels, but I never thought about having sex with these guys I just fantasized about us being together and happy and maybe even married someday. I genuinely never looked at a person and was like mmm I’d hit that, never. Then I met my current boyfriend and on a whim decided to try sex and I loved it and now find myself sexually attracted to someone for the first time in my life. And he really is the only person I am sexually attracted to. I did not experience sexual attraction to him until we had actually had sex though i did have strong romantic feelings for him. So I can’t really put a label on what exactly my sexuality is I don’t think. I’m definitely straight lol I know that much.

I went through a long period of time where I thought sexual attraction was made up, and everyone was just pretending to have crushes because they wanted to fit in. I have never felt sexually attracted to someone, before a long time of being with Mr. Star. I tried girls and guys and people in between, but nobody rrally did it for me. I have loved people, but just not wanted to have sex with them. I consider myself asexual still, even though I will sometimes have sex with one person. I think I like sex for the feeling of closeness and love, rather than the physical stuff.
