I Am Asexual Stories of Experiences

Talking about whether if I experience physical reaction to jump anyone I can say that I never felt that way and im almost 30. And toward guys that wanted to jump me the experience always make me feel alien. I always thought that I...

I am now 26, and have never felt sexual attraction towards anyone and anything. Also, I do not want a relationship, and have no desire to hug or kiss. I did try a couple of times (relationship, hug, kiss) but I just feel nothing...

Even at the onset of adolescence, I held no sexual attraction towards either sex. Instead, I find my education to be of higher importance than reproducing.

Not needing sex is normal, I never had it and I think that's fine. But I have wanted someone, but not in a sexual way, I just wanted this person. If I could I would, but it would feel unnatural. I wanted this person so badly, but I knew...

To be honest, I never actually knew people got violent when it came to someone being asexual. That was until I read a post in a fb group and someone mentioned they've had to deal with people being violent. That shocked me. I knew people...

I only just found out about asexuality at the end March. But for the last 4 years I had been super confused because whenever someone would comment about a girl, in a sexual way, I would just kind of laugh it off but I never agreed with...

As time passes on, and I become more comfortable with who I am. I also realize moments in my life, before I knew I was ace, that I sort of questioned things. Before I knew I was asexual, it never really occurred to me that I was all...

I thought I was hetero for a long time, but then I found asexuality. At first I dismissed it but then I realized I was. I realized I never had nor needed or wanted a girlfriend because of the sexual things involved, and noticed how I...

Everybody thinks that because I am Hispanic and have a hot body that I should be dating guys left and right, well there are always wrong and making assumptions, in fact I have never been in a relationship (only kissing around with some...

I think the problem is that people expect you to be gay, straight or bi. I spent so long trying to fit myself into one of those categories, it didn't even occur to me that there was anything else. It took a long time to realise that I...

i looked on AVEN and it said that i can have a successful relationship with a straight person. There just needs to be a good understanding and communication is key

i'm dating a straight man. He says I'm perfect for him but not sure if that is true. He says it's fine that I'm asexual. not sure if he means that. Sometimes I think about dating other people but I'm afraid to. Maybe it would be better...

When I was a little kid my mum and I moved to New Zealand with my brothers and sisters.
I grew up isolated from the community due to the stigma attached to single mothers at the time and also due to us being extremely poor.
The only...

hi all, I'm bruce and this is me.
I am very shy and introvered. I have only had two girlfriends. The first we dated three months and never had sex. She was really scared of sex. We enjoyed our time together. I very much liked snogging...

I've been trying to understand my own sexuality my self. I'd more comfortably associate my sexual preference as asexual. I do have my reasons and it isn't because I simply do not have a sexual drive because I'd be lying ;) , but if you...

Ever since I was a little boy, most of my friends have been girls. I could relate to them, and they weren't obsessed with cars and boogers. Then, right around puberty, my friends started looking at me differently, getting "crushes" on...

It's frustrating that within the ace community there is some disagreements on what it means to be asexual. I thought we used the definition as defined on the AVEN website, but apparently not everyone follows that definition and has...

It took me many years to work out that my lack of desire for sex was actually a legitimate sexual orientation. 
In the past I have 'been' with men and women and even though I am aesthetically attracted to both genders, I never had any...

Looking back on my childhood, it makes more and more sense to me, that I was Asexual. However, it was only until this year I was fully aware of it. I only assumed everyone was as apprehensive as i was to dating or meeting girls. I was...

I cannot stand when people assume they can become asexual. I'm a little late, but I seem the faux(fox) news broadcast about them claiming asexuality didn't exist and it was called being a woman. Oh really? What about the men? Are they...
