Am I As3xual: 15 Facts You Should Know To Find Out

There are different kinds of s3xual orientations in humans and as3xuality is one. Here is how you know if you are an as3xual being.

S3xual Orientation, What It is

It is possible you have heard the term "S3xual orientation" severally, and you're wondering what it means. It's just a fanciful term used to refer to the kind and type of gender you are romantically attracted to and would love to be in a relationship with. Your s3xual orientation is not the same as your gender. Your gender is who you really are whether a male, female, transgender and a whole lot of other forms available. So, when we say s3xual orientation, what is meant is that whether you as a male (just for example) feel naturally and romantically attracted to a female or another male like yourself.

Types Of S3xual Orientation

With regard to s3xual orientation, you can be any of the following. Homos3xual - you are romantically attracted to someone of the same gender as yours. Heteros3xual - you are attracted s3xually to someone of opposite s3x to yours. Bis3xual - mid-way between s3xuality and as3xuality. As3xual - without s3xual desire. Aromantics - can be s3xual but are not prone to romance. Demis3xual - you are demis3xual if you need to form an extremely deep emotional connection with a person before you can ever be s3xually attracted to him/her. Pans3xual - attracted to every gender. The list above only represent a few of the common s3xual orientations out there. The spectrum is quite wide, and as a result of the spectrum of this subject being broad-based, it usually attracts slightly different classifications and definitions within the limit of its acceptance.

So, Who Is An As3xual Person?

An as3xual person is someone who practically has no s3xual urge. He or she is not aroused at what would easily turn a s3xual person on. In some scenarios, as3xual individuals may be attracted s3xually to another person, but the level of attraction is very low. Some people have attributed this inability to have s3xual desire to a medical issue while to some; it is nothing but a mere emotional problem. A number of as3xual people are also categorized with other s3xual orientation labels. By identifying with these other labels, as3xual people claim a few of their characteristics. This makes it seem as if being as3xual is a sort of personal decision. Being as3xual should not be confused with being celibate. Celibacy involves a voluntary decision to abstain from s3xual activities, which is mostly a personal decision or due to religious convictions, beliefs or devotion. A celibate can be s3xual, that is, attracted to others s3xually but the individual has chosen not to express his/her s3xual feelings. A group of researchers believes that the concept of as3xuality is a feature of s3xual orientation while another group believes it’s a function of s3xual behavior. In some cases where as3xual individuals eventually get married, some of them would have to venture into masturbation or have s3x (out of their natural will) so as to benefit their romantic partner.

How To Tell If You Are An As3xual Person

As earlier noted, the spectrum for this subject is broad and can equally be dicy. So many other s3xual orientations often find their expressions in as3xuality and so, if you are not accustomed to what being as3xual means, you may actually belong to other s3xual orientations and you'll be thinking you are as3xual. For instance, you can be demis3xual which means you are mid-way between being s3xual and as3xual and you'll be thinking you're purely as3xual. Therefore, Here are 15 facts to tell if you are as3xual.

1. You are as3xual if s3x is really boring to you

This is often the first and most pronounced sign of being as3xual. You just see the whole s3x thing as boring if not needless. Of course, one has to acknowledge that some partners can be s3xually unattractive (let's tell ourselves the truth) or inexperienced, but if after efforts have been made by your partner (assuming you are already hooked up), you still do not see any big deal in s3x, you may just be as3xual.

2. Spicing Up S3x Feels Irritating

In most cases where partners feel their s3x life is no longer as interesting as it once used to be, some measures are often taken to spice it up. This can involve adopting different s3x positions and styles, increasing romance and foreplay, and so on. Where every attempt to make s3x appealing to you has consistently failed, and you are almost even becoming fed up with those efforts, you are most likely as3xual.

3. Speaking About S3x Sounds Foreign To You

Here is another way to tell if you are as3xual. A discussion about s3x is brought up where you are, and you find it hard to relate to it. Naturally, s3x (the activity) is something you should be able to relate to wherever and whenever it is being discussed. However, because you are probably as3xual, you have lost every interest in paying attention to this innate and important part of you. You don't even see reading books to learn more about it as a worthwhile effort. So, a topic on the subject sounds foreign in your hears.

4. You Don’t See Any Big Deal About S3x

Granted, there are some people who have had just enough s3x that it doesn’t sound like a big deal to them anymore. But when you are not in this category and yet s3x isn’t a big deal to you, you might as well check yourself out to see if you are an as3xual. Typically, as3xuality makes s3x look like an over-hyped thing and lessens the importance of it. By the time you notice you have little or no regards for s3x, you're more than sure you are as3xual.

5. You Have Had A Number Of Broken Relationships Because Of Lack Of S3x

Just take a second look at your relationships for the past few years. Have you had to walk out of them severally, or your partners are the ones calling it quit primarily because of your s3xual apathy? You can begin to evaluate yourself for as3xuality. S3x is one major benefit partners in a relationship look forward to. And, if as an as3xual individual, you are unlucky to be hooked up with someone that is s3xual, there is no doubt such a relationship will always hit a dead end. Perhaps, it is necessary to mention that as3xuality may not be the only reason for refusing s3x in a relationship (especially pre-marital s3x). You may be doing so for a health challenge or a religious conviction. But where these are not the reasons, and you have suffered several broken relationships because your partner feels there is something wrong with you s3xually, it may be a sign you are as3xual.

6. You Hardly Know Anyone Attractive

The eyes of an as3xual person hardly recognize beauty or attractiveness. It just find it hard to describe anyone as being attractive and if it has to, most times, it is usually out of pretense. So, if appreciating beauty or attractiveness in others seem next to impossible with you, it's a great sign you may be as3xual. Our sense of attractiveness in others is mostly triggered by our s3xual orientations and if you are oriented to regard s3x as nothing, finding another person attractive may be difficult.

7. The Concept Of Celibacy Seems Great With You

If celibacy, which is the total and voluntary abstinence from s3x or s3xual activity, sounds like a cool concept to you, or you feel it won’t be a difficult thing to try out or practice, you are most likely as3xual. Celibacy, even amidst religious ministers is deemed a form of self-sacrifice. But for you an as3xual person, you are not going to see it as a denial of anything but the best way of life. You will often find yourself happy and proud to be one.

8. You Haven't Had S3x In A While And You Are Not Bothered

There is a stage in life when your s3xual urge is expected to be at its peak. Even if you aren't married by then, you get this urge constantly popping up. But for you an as3xual being, you don't feel any change or difference in your s3xual quest for a long period of time and it doesn't bother you.

9. You haven’t thought of anyone as being s3xy

This is still a function of not finding attractiveness in other people. When people around you commend a particular person as being s3xy, hot or attractive, and yet you hold a different opinion about the same person; that may be a big sign you’re as3xual. If you are not as3xual, you will at least find someone you feel is s3xy to be in a romantic relationship with.

10. You Find S3x Scenes Needless

So you are seeing a movie, and suddenly a s3x scene is displayed, and you feel annoyed because to you, it is unnecessary? It may be a pointer that you are as3xual. Of course, some scenes may actually be needless but to you an as3xual, it is all scenes that are s3xual or suggest that you find needless. Sometimes, it may not even be a movie. It may be a novel you are reading, and the scene is portrayed. If you find yourself having to skip such parts every time you read books like that, you are probably expressing your s3xual orientation which is as3xuality.

11. You Generally Do Not Have Interest In People

This may just be the height of being an ace (i.e an as3xual). People generally do not fascinate you and you prefer (if possible) to just be on your own. This feeling of no special interest in people is particularly greatest with the opposite s3x. You just cannot explain why you have no special interest in them. It may be because you are as3xual.

12. You Hardly Have Wet Dreams

As3xual folks are among the few individuals who hardly experience wet dreams during their lifetime. Wet dreams which doctors also call nocturnal emission is the orgasm usually experienced by adolescents during puberty. It takes place at night when they are sleeping and usually when they dream about them having s3x. For an as3xual person, this may just be a strange phenomenon because he or she has lived to regard s3x as uninteresting and the body has adapted in such manner. Therefore, if you have reached or passed puberty and you haven't had the wet dream experience, you may just be as3xual.

13. You Cannot Easily Identify Your S3xual Orientation

Those who are s3xual, homos3xual, pans3xual and other forms of s3xual orientations can easily know where they fit except as3xual beings. Sometimes, they are not sure if they are demis3xual or aromantics. So, if answering the question of which s3xual orientation you belong to is very difficult, it may be a subtle sign of being an as3xual.

14. You Are Not Aroused S3xually Even With Nude Beings

If this is not a medical issue, it's most likely because you are as3xual.

15. You Only Talk About S3x In A Clinical Setting

You don't have a problem talking about s3x as a lecturer or doctor but outside the purpose of academics, you find the subject disgusting, You are most likely an ace.

Final Remarks

Establishing whether a person is an ace or not can be a challenging subject majorly because of its wide spectrum and resemblance in some degrees, to other forms of s3xual orientations. Agreed, it can be a lifestyle as well as a natural phenomenon. If it's a behavioral thing, it can pretty much be corrected, but it is not certain if any help can be granted to a naturally as3xual person. By and large, if you are able to manage the situation, it should not be more of a worry to you. However, if you are much concerned, you can seek help. In fact, the fact that you are concerned may suggest your as3xuality is behavioral. By spending some time with your psychologist and/or counselor, you can get over it.
