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

A friend of oursยน 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

ยน Yes: we genuinely are asking for a friend! We are very much allosexual ourselves ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ณ

Edit: Changed the link, per a recommendation for a better wiki page ๐Ÿฅฐ

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 ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ณ

@SleepyCatten I'm demisexual, and to me, that basically means that sexual attraction and romantic attraction are almost the same experience for me. This means stuff like:
- Appearance is not really an important factor in whether or not I'm attracted to someone. Their personality, interests, etc are more important to me.
- cuddles before/after sex are as important (if not more important) to me than actually having sex
- I don't understand the practical difference between "fuck" and "marry" when people play the game "fuck, marry, kill".

Happy to answer any questions!
