Dealing with Asexuality: Seeking Advice

I’m graysexual due to sex repulsion/trauma and medication. I don’t know if I’ll ever find someone like me to be in a relationship with. I’m independent enough to be on my own. Lonely but better than having sex..

I consider myself asexual as well, and rest assured everyone has this thought. I am in a sexual relationship with my long term girlfriend and I’m completely okay with it. Some ace people like sex, some are okay with it, and some downright just don’t have it. For me I consider sex an emotional bond, it’s not a common thing for me in my relationship, and I have found an amazing partner that is okay and respects my boundaries completely. If you decide that sex is something you never want, that’s great! But let yourself think abt everything and it’s okay if you ever change you mind. And it’s also okay if you don’t. Another thing is surround yourself with people who believe you. If your friends/family put you down, make jokes when you come out, or just plain don’t believe you, they aren’t really that great and you should trust your gut and drop em. Bottom line you deserve people who respect and love you the way you are, with or without sex.

Im graysexual, on the ace spectrum. I enjoy it once in a blue moon, but experience 0 sexual attraction whatsoever. You can be in a monogamous relationship without sex, and even poly ace groups exist. It just takes longer because our society believes sex to be the only form of intimacy. My aro-ace friend sees the most loving and romantic intimate actin one can do with another is clasp each other's hands and touch foreheads together. Intimacy is what you belive it to be. Sex isn't a requirement to love, it's just a bonus object

i am exploring the possibility of being asexual but am unsure as to whether i am certain as i have been on medication that lowers my libido for as long as i can remember and don’t know if i don’t want sex because i’m ace or if it’s because of my meds

I consider myself asexual. You can have a completely normal relationship without sex. Me and my partner have an agreement that they can have intercourse with other people as long as I know who they are and they are clear of any STDs. That only our agreement, but you can have a completely normal life!
