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 recently had a think about what my asexuality means and came up with some of the following:
- I don't find jokes about sex/bodies/toilet humor funny.
-Sex is not really a goal for me in a relationship in the way quality time is*
-Sex just seems messy (so many fluids going in/coming out of different places!)

*I don't currently have a partner, but wouldn't say no if it were to happen someday
@SleepyCatten
-I don't always understand when sexual images are used to comment on larger topics (this prompted by a particular author whose work has featured, on at least two occasions, genitals detaching from their hosts)
