I'm really having struggles with "I'm not broken". I think that if I hadn't been bombarded with hellfire queerphobic abstinence-only bullshit, and more, I would more likely be sexual. Feeds into anxiety and germophobia.

I feel like, "maybe I'm broken, but it's not my fault", works for me personally. Also we're all broken in some ways. And even if it was my fault, eh, kinda whatever.

But maybe being made to feel like I'm broken, is what people say to try to get in my pants. So maybe I'm not broken. Or am, but it's trust issues.

Am I overthinking it? idk.

atm I'm sex-averse, maybe sex repulsed, kinky, & somewhere on the ace spectrum. kinksexual?

I feel like I just wanna really heavily cuddle all the places that would lead sexual folks to sex, but I'm afraid of it leading to sex.

At puberty I started as just gay. Then discovered I was attracted to animals (maybe moreso than humans). Then discovered furry. Then discovered that I might be trans. Then would've fucked, but was scared I'd get kicked out of my parents house if I got an STD/STI. Then spent a decade in a relationship with someone that I loved but didn't want to have sex with. (There's a sign I'm ace.) (I fucked my hand a lot, and plushies and pooltoys.) Then spent over a decade wrestling with transness. Now 9 months on estrogen, 2-ish weeks on progesterone. 6 or 7 months with a trans woman, once again, not fucking. (There's a sign I'm ace.)

I really loved being with a cis male friend, who treated me like a woman, earlier this year. Maybe I'm gonna be a really horny sexual straight trans woman. Maybe not, maybe I'll stay close to how I am right now.

I enjoy being sexy, but I don't fuck, and I feel like I'm "wasting" time & this sexy body.

But I have a habit of obliging myself to things like this. Bipolarly I do the opposite, fuck what society says.

At this point, I'll just go with my own flow.

I just wanted to journal.

@monstercollie sounds like you needed it.. and honestly? Just do what feels right to and for you and yours, you can always change.

@Beckydog Thanks! I know I definitely needed the hormones.

Funny how you replying gave me a third "yep, I'm asexual" data point lol.

Sometimes it feels like "sexually asexual" or "intense attraction that would be sexual if I weren't ace" or "crush" or something

@monstercollie thing I’ve recently learned? You don’t -have- to fit into any definition outside of ease of explanation, just be you!

Some people? You’re ace to. Some? A horn dog.. others? Iddle subby pup pup (not always sexual thing) others? A big scary, Dommy monsterbork

@monstercollie I agree with @Beckydog: you can always change. Labels are a tool, not a cage. Maybe you'll discover being sex-averse was due to trauma. Maybe it's not and it's just who you are. Maybe you'll find out a lot of new things about you. Maybe you'll find out you are close to your true self already. Life is full of surprises. Be open to embrace who you discover yourself to be. 💖

A regular practice of meditation can help get your thoughts and feelings in order.

I would start by focusing on and controlling your breathing, then progress to slowing down and silencing thoughts, followed by pushing away and controlling your feelings as they arise.

Once you establish control, you can reflect deeply on your life, and really analyze and reconcile your past.

Forgive yourself for your mistakes, you've been doing your best with the hand you were dealt.
