Hey lovely folks of fedi who are anywhere on the asexual spectrum 

A friend of ours¹ thinks they might be asexual, but they're doing the doubting questioning thing  (i.e., the thing we mostly all do with sexuality, gender, romanticity, neurodivergence etc.)

Please may we call upon your collective knowledge and experiences to share what asexuality means for you and help us bust some myths for others who might be questioning too?  

Thank you kindly in advance  

Boosts appreciated

¹ Yes: we genuinely are asking for a friend! We are very much allosexual ourselves 😅😳

Edit: Changed the link, per a recommendation for a better wiki page 🥰

Edit 2: Thank you to all your varied answers so far! Please keep them coming! Hopefully this will help our friend and others who are questioning. But anyone wondering about us, your experiences very much confirm how allosexual we are 😅😳

I consider myself Demisexual possibly demiromantic but for most of my life thought i was straight, mostly because my environment was pretty chaste.

The biggest thing for me is that i didnt get the urge for relationships (until i did) and i prefered reading syories of sex and relationships to trying it irl. To this day im more aroused by fiction than the human form.

The biggest thing to me is not to force a label but allow you to be, as you are with no judgement.
