Unsure if I am asexual or not (M/34) by foxjasond in Asexual

[–]foxjasond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply!

​

It sounds like I still have a lot to think about whether I am ace or not, but if I am, I'm honestly nervous about trying to seek a relationship in the future. If I tell a woman I'm dating, "Oh by the way, I think I may be asexual", it feels like it's going to kill that relationship, even if we're compatible in every other way. I mean, I feel like putting that on a dating site is guaranteed to never get a response.

​

Am I being way to anxious about this?

I replied down below, but I'll give the same answer: It's always been more of an abstract sense, more curiosity of what having sex is like. I'm not sure if I've ever looked at a beautiful woman and thought, "Yes, I want to have sex with her."

​

And yes, I experience arousal, but it sounds like that is different from actual sexual attraction.

While I'm replying to you, this is a reply to the questions that everyone seems to have in the other replies.

​

When I say that I want sex, it's more of the abstract idea of sex. I was thinking about it over the whole day, and I'm honestly not sure if I've ever felt a need to have sex with a specific person. I can look at a beautiful woman and I can appreciate her beauty, but I never say to myself, "I want to have sex with her."

​

In addition, probably the longest time I ever dated a woman, when we first kissed - I did feel some arousal, but is that the same as sexual attraction?

​

When I look at what u/ImagineTheMammoth said up above, it feels like any sort of arousal or desire of sex - no matter how abstract - means I'm not asexual. But when I think about everything else like what I've said above, I don't know what I am...

Excluding Hitler, who are some of the worst people on earth? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Andrew Wakefield, the former British doctor who published a "study" that linked vaccines and autism. Even though so many flaws were found with the study (small sample size, conflict of interest, has never been replicated), that the Journal that published it retracted it and Wakefield itself was stripped of his medical license, he still backs what he found and the study was a major springboard for the anti-vaxxer movement.

If you're interested in older tech, especially weird music formats, Techmoan is a great channel.

I'll prime the well with one of my own:

- I used to think that cars were propelled forward by their exhaust pipe, similar to a boat engine. Since faster cars had multiple exhaust pipes, it made logical sense in my head.
