Between Asexual and Aromantic
Asexual is a sexual orientation where one does not feel sexual attraction to anyone. *Being asexual has nothing to do with your sex drive or your love for sex, it is only about whether you are sexually attracted to others or not. -and no we are not plants.
Aromantic is a romantic orientation where one does not feel romantic attraction to anyone. *Like asexuality, you may desire for a relationship but that doesnt mean you are actually romantically attracted to anyone.
Asexuality and Aromantism ; Does not crave for cookies but are able to enjoy cookies or like cookies. They may have cookies from time to time and like them but that doesnt mean they will crave for them.
The definitions of asexuality and aromantism are always so different and so confusing.
According to this, I’m ace because I don’t have any random attractions to people; just sex turns me on. I don’t have any interest in sex either, I find it boring and a waste of time, yet my body doesn’t.
According to this definition I am ace, but according to common sense I’m not.
Well then that means you are an asexual with a sex drive. There are sex repulsed asexuals or asexuals that are not sex repulsed but they don’t feel any arousal or have a very very low sex drive ( like me, except I’m none at all ) and there are asexuals with a high sex drive or enjoy sex. So from what you are saying, you might be an asexual with a sex drive.
Asexuals aren’t incapable of feeling aroused or anything. Sure, some of us don’t feel it at all but some of us do, like you in this case.
That makes no sense though. It goes against logic. A sex drive is what defines if a person is ace or no. A person who frequently looks at porn and masturbates is definitely not ace.
If it were as easy as to say “I wish I were ace” then I could just wish to be a millionaire.
Actually yours goes against logic. You’re statement basically says that “ People who are asexual are not capable of feeling aroused at all ”. Which is really really not true, some Asexuals aren’t like that. As an asexual myself that does not have a sex drive, I know for a fact that those with a sex drive can be asexual.
And yes, a person that looks at porn and masturbates can be asexual. A person that is married with kids can be asexual. A person that has sex simply for the relief can be asexual.
The only determining factor of whether or not you are asexual is your attraction to others. There’s a difference between “ I want to have sex because I want kids/I need relief/I want to please my partner’” and “ I love this person, I am so sexually attracted to them I want to fuck them. ”
By your logic, Asexuals are only people who have no sex drive. The moment they experience arousal ONCE, boom, out of the asexual category. I don’t know man, yours seems against logic.
