It sounds like you could be greysexual or demisexual, both on the asexual spectrum it means you feel sexual attraction very rarely, or you could be asexual. The thing with asexual is you don’t feel any sexual attraction to anyone (thinking they’re hot or sexy) but you can still be romantically attracted to people, I’m biromantic asexual for example. Just remember, feelings before labels, don’t try to fit into a label that doesn’t feel right, you’ll find it eventually
Am I asexual (read the text)
Okay sorry to bother you all but I’ve been really confused about myself I guess? This is slightly TMI but when I see a pic of a dude with barely anything on or nothing... I get grossed out and as a reflex I just quickly look away but when I see a naked girl I don’t get grossed out but I don’t really feel anything I just see her and think “okay you look pretty nice” but nothing over the top. So I feel like there’s no sexual attraction but then why do I have different reactions to dudes and chicks? I’m a girl and already identify as a lesbian (cause with relationships I already know that I don’t want to date a guy) but am I also asexual? I mean I’m 15 and It feels like everyone around me who’s my age feels sexual attraction but I don’t(?) or at least not as much as they do. Maybe I’m just so young that I don’t feel anything yet but later on will, I did start to start develop a little later then most people I know? But then again I’ve been like fully developed for a while now, so yeah I just really don’t know what I am. What do you guys think I am?

When I was your age I went through the same thing, I didn’t think I was even really attracted to anyone, and I just felt so out of place because that’s what everyone was in to at the time. but as time went on I found out that I just wasn’t ready for that aspect of life yet. It’s ok if you aren’t sure right now, just as ok it is to know for a fact that your asexual etc. and just like the previous woman said, you can always change how you identify yourself. Plus everyone develops at a different rate, you might just be like me, a “late bloomer”. Don’t stress yourself out too much honey, you’re strong and beautiful, you don’t have to put yourself in a box.
its important to remember that you can change your labels at any point in your life. if asexual feels like it suits you, you have every right to call yourself asexual even if it turns out later that you were just a late bloomer. i started identifying as asexual when i was about 15 and i had many similar doubts that you do. i'm 18 now and i still use that label, and i still question it. sexuality is always confusing so i think its best to just go with your gut feeling and figure things out along the way
It’s okay not to label yourself right now. It’s okay to still be figuring things out and if you do want to use labels right now it’s okay to flip flop and try different things on. Ultimately the only person who can figure it out and decide what to label yourself is you and only if that’s what you want. I think it’s also important to know that as long as you are happy and in relationships that are healthy and comfortable for you, you don’t have to label yourself, heck you don’t even have to figure it out if it’s causing you stress. If you want the label of ace or not, (I know labels can be incredibly important and meaningful for some people) of course work to figure it out but at the end of the day as long as you can come to a place where your relationships are healthy and comfortable and you are happy with yourself just go with whatever makes you feel the most comfortable.
