GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 What do you mean by asexual? Basically, doesn't find sex to be appealing, or doesn't find both males and females attractive. 2 My peep is against bullying....

Steelstallion 462 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Basically, doesn't find sex to be appealing, or doesn't find both males and females attractive. Alright, cool. I guess I fall under the asexual category then. I find some females attractive, but I'm not looking for a relationship at all. Attractive meaning, well "hot", but I don't go looking for sexual relations. All the Ponies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Gaze 131 April 10, 2015 Author Share April 10, 2015 Basically, doesn't find sex to be appealing, or doesn't find both males and females attractive. Yep! A lack of sexual attraction. Asexuals make up an estimated 1-2% of the population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haruhi-chan 486 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) I'm not a brony, but I am asexual. I just don't feel that sex really makes up someone's relationship. It shouldn't be the main focus. If you love someone so much, be with the but don't have sex. I guess once is okay... but even when me and my boyfriend talked about it at the time, I told him about me being asexual. He knows a lot of it also has to do with my autism, which it does. I'm not really sexually-attracted to anyone, not even to my fangirl crushes. I do call them sexy, but I don't mean it in that kind of way.

CC_Maud_Pie 6,431 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) I feel like I'm on the asexual spectrum. I don't know where on the asexual spectrum though. I'm not disgusted at the idea of sex, just don't have strong feelings for it at the moment. Edited April 11, 2015 by CC_Maud_Pie All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go.

Moonlight 7,286 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) Not a brony, but I am asexual (Zero doubts in my mind, there have been times where I've thrown up at the sight of sex). I have no problems with drawn/animated sexual content but rl puts me off completely and makes me feel sick to my stomach. If someone thinks that sex has to be part of a relationship to be healthy, then they don't deserve a relationship and I feel bad for their unhealthy relationship.

FlitterFlutter 1,583 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 I am definably an Asexual (and a brony), I have identified as ace for almost a year! I am not one of those people who are reposed at even the mention on sex, I just really dont want to have it, and have never found an male (or female) that I have found sexually attractive.

Admiral Regulus 2,769 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) In the past, there was a time when I seriously considered that I may be asexual. This is largely because I find neither female nor male models to be attractive. Overall physical appearances aren't the basis on which I assess attractiveness, and this made things confusing and complicated for adolescent Regulus. I had no idea what to think of it all at the time. ...but I'm not asexual. As I came to discover many years ago, I'm about as far from asexual as I could possibly be. I understand that not everyone desires sex, and even of those who do desire it, that desire is usually a secondary component of something else, such as love, communication, or intimacy. Yeah... I just don't fall into either category. Some people would probably call me a hypersexual, if only they knew... but look, it's complicated. Anyway, this isn't necessarily directed at anyone here, but know that sexuality is very, very complex. There are very many factors in play, so it's difficult to determine with limited information. If you're young and you think you might be asexual, it's possible you just haven't experienced sexual attraction yet.

Silver Letter 1,832 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 I am wary when it comes to asexuality because I feel strongly that there are forces out there that want to wipe out humanity via population reduction. Note Europe and Japan for what's happening. The Georgia Guidestones came from nowhere and it declares that humanity will be limited to 500,000,000. Why does asexuality exist? Is it some kind of tampering with humanity's genetics? Is GMO's to blame? I feel that if we ever find out the answer, it might be too late. Silver Letter!!!

True...this may sound a little dramatic, but I would be devastated if I experienced sexual attraction in a few years. Goodbye, relateable posts on AVEN. On the bright side, if I do become a non-asexual in my later teens, I still would have learned a lot about many different types of relationships. I didn't know that sexuality could be so complex, and I had never heard of romantic orientation in my life.

If you're young and you think you might be asexual, it's possible you just haven't experienced sexual attraction yet. I swore that i was a heteromantic asexual, because i have never seen a girl that i really liked. I then met a girl, and after a year started to crush on her, still wasn't her appearance so much though. While i still found sex appealing, i found intimate sex appealing, and i was not really attracted to any features. So i slapped "with a high libido" on my asexual title (Though, God no, i never said that out loud). After that relationship i realized i'm probably not asexual, but maybe i'm somewhere on the scale. Perhaps i am demisexual, which means that i can only experience sexual attraction with friends, once i get to know them. I don't know if i am asexual, but if i'm demisexual, i'm probably going to get friend zoned, A LOT My story, is really just the same as Admiral Regulus. KILL IT!

Admiral Regulus 2,769 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) I apologize if I end up derailing this thread, but... there's more I have to say. I swore that i was a heteromantic asexual, because i have never seen a girl that i really liked.

I don't know if i am asexual, but if i'm demisexual, i'm probably going to get friend zoned, A LOT My story, is really just the same as Admiral Regulus. I would say I'm demisexual, but again... it's complicated. A lot of it isn't just the way you feel attraction, but also the way you approach the subject from a philosophical point of view. So many people view sex as a means to achieving something greater, but I do not. To me, it is nothing more than it is. It's meaning isn't to achieve an end; it's an end in and of itself. It is, therefore, only what I decide make of it. I'm demisexual in the sense that I need to know a person to be attracted to them, but I also have this very lax view of sex, that said attraction isn't so important. Pleasure is still pleasure, and I see nothing wrong with pleasure just for the sake of pleasure only. That's where the hypersexuality comes in. It can seem a little contradictory to someone who has no idea what I mean, but yes, it *is* possible not to experience sexual attraction to people immediately, but still have a generalized desire for sex. If you want to think of it this way, you could say I am a demiromantic hypersexual. Edited April 11, 2015 by Admiral Regulus 1 Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlunderSteed 1,252 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 If someone thinks that sex has to be part of a relationship to be healthy, then they don't deserve a relationship and I feel bad for their unhealthy relationship. (¬_¬) This is kind of absurd. The vast majority of people do consider sex a very important aspect of a healthy relationship. If you really feel that strongly about it, you're permanently limiting yourself to the 1-2% of the population who shares your asexual orientation. And that's fine for you, but such a narrow view of relationships is pretty naive and unrealistic. Regards, PlunderSteed Bassist, pianist, and backing vocalist for MLP-themed metal band Draconequus.

Shift 4,272 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) @@PlunderSteed, Agreed. I'm fairly sure i'm asexual, as I've never been sexually attracted to anyone and i'm pretty neutral on the topic of sex. There are people I do consider attractive but not in the sexual way, just in a platonic sort of way. I'd rather not have sex at all, but if whoever i'm going out with at the time wants to experiment and i'm comfortable with him/her i'd probably give it a shot just to see what it's like. Many people do consider sex to be a natural part of relationships, and that's fine. Some people don't want sex in their relationship, and that's also fine. It's really just personal preference or whatever you and your partner come to an agreement on. Edit: Typo Edited April 11, 2015 by Shift Have the courage to think and act on your own.

Haruhi-chan 486 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) I feel like I'm on the asexual spectrum. I don't know where on the asexual spectrum though. I'm not disgusted at the idea of sex, just don't have strong feelings for it at the moment. This is pretty much me right here. I feel as I can identify with it, but there's also the part where I'm sort of afraid of sex too. I do feel that being asexual is what fits me because of my views towards it and what not. Actually, I do agree with Wheatly to an extent... Sex shouldn't HAVE to be part of a relationship. I'm not saying it's a bad thing or that those who do it are bad people though. I just feel that it should be an option in relationships. You have to realize that a majority of those people who do it with their loved one... they aren't only doing it for love. Some do it because they feel they have to or because they think it's part of being in love. That's something I don't really agree with. You shouldn't have to feel pressured to have sex. It should be an option and a decision made between you and your partner. I really don't think sex is what defines a relationship. I feel this way because I used to be friends with people who always talked about having sex almost all of the time. It's all they cared about in their relationship was sex, sex, sex. They didn't care about whether they actually loved each other or not. That's why I'm very strict when it comes to the idea of sex being part of someone's relationship. I mean, once or so every month or on occasion might be so bad... but if you're doing it almost every day or more than you should, then how can you call that love?

Bird Mom 900 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 I'm asexual. I never really understood the true meaning of intercourse. Other than reproduction, sex isn't really needed, in my opinion.
