Re: Does this count as Asexuality?

I wouldn't take anything you read on tumblr as fact.

That aside, sexuality is very subjective and you might want to consider a few other things first. Like: How comfortable are you with intimacy? Does intimacy itself put you off? Do you ever fantasize about having sex with someone and were you comfortable with it/bored with it? Are there significant sources of stress in your life right now? Stuff like that might be important.

I'm not very big on intimacy in general - that's why I've also considered myself fairly aromantic for a while. Even my partner, I like more when we're basically acting like really close friends. Once intimacy enters the equation, I start to get put off.

I've never really fantasized much about sex with particular people. I just like particular actions (namely D/s and BDSM themes). I do find plenty of people attractive, mostly fictional characters or celebrities though, only the occasional person in real life. I'm not sure if I just find them attractive or if I'm actually attracted to them. I'm kind of in the middle, if that's possible?

And not only is my life not more stressful right now, it may actually be less stressful than usual. Most of the stuff I've described, though, isn't really recent - it's just recently realized. Otherwise, it's nearly always been there.

I'm not sure but you may have underlying trust issues if getting emotionally close to someone puts you off. Only being attracted to fictional characters may be apart of that as well to further protect yourself. I don't consider myself asexual but I do have a low libido and significant trust issues that prevent me from wanting to be intimate with people.

Well, I do have some trust issues when it comes to intimacy, but that isn't all of it. While some of my lack of desire for intimacy is intimidation, a lot of it is just boredom - I find intimacy boring.

I do find people in real life attractive, just not as many compared to celebrities/fictional people (in that said celebrities or fictional people were chosen to be represented in the media in the first place because they're attractive - I'm just incredibly picky).
