It's kinda like so many people claim to be on the asexuality spectrum and are constantly moving the goalposts about how much sex you want to have while still fitting somewhere under the increasingly expansive umbrella.

You can physically enjoy sex and not have sexual attraction though?

As someone who likes 'personal time' and porn and spicy books though, I feel weird using the word asexual because I just don't want sex with someone else lol. So asexuality can be a pretty broad term...

NAYRT

Is there a word for this? Because I feel like you've articulated the way I've felt (quite a few times), and I don't want to use the term asexual because I have had sexual attraction to people, it's just been very far and few in between. I tend to not like terminology, but I do feel like I fit under the demi umbrella (always thinking this was just another normal way of being, some people are into sex a lot, some not, etc ).

I'm not actually sure, I tend to use ace as a way of avoiding trying to explain myself lol, but since it doesn't really come up (I'm not super interested in being in a relationship either, or at least not seeking one out) I've never had to get more specific with a label. :\

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I get using it. I don't like to use it since I know I can feel something once my mind has been "activated" if you will (lol). Although the last person I went out with asked me if I was asexual and I had a very strong reaction lol. Maybe there's degrees to it. Probably. Anyway, thanks for responding!

There is a word for it, which I learned because it applies to me and then forgot because it was too long and complicated and I'll never need to use it because unless you're an attractive fictional character who I would enjoy watching have sex with other attractive fictional characters, my sexual attraction will never apply to you and "asexual" is apt enough.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, but that's not the only goalposts being moved. Its all the "I'm sexually attracted to people under these totally (not) rare circumstances but I'm still totally ace, guys!". That's like a dude constantly, exclusively and enthusiastically sleeping with women but insisting he's totally gay.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm taking it that you've interacted with a person who said this to you about their experience with asexuality. Every time asexuality ever comes up (even though it didn't but eh), someone writes the same thing about the asexuals who like having sex every time here on FS.
So either this is a 'omg why would an asexual say that? why would anyone do this to the holy sanctity of asexuality? weeeh' or you're specifying an individual you've talked to and didn't like their opinion of and now forever more you must let us know here on FS.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
I've never said this here before but since others have the same opinion it seems there's something to it.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's definitely something to the prevalence of people who think asexuality is just a fad that isn't real. Wonder what that something is and where it came from.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, couldn't possibly be because so many people go "whee I love fucking but I'm totes asexual teehee".

(Anonymous) 2023-01-19 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there are a lot of people who confuse asexuality with just having a low libido. The two things aren't the same.

(Anonymous) 2023-01-20 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
And almost all of them are not people who identity as asexual, they're the ones going around complaining that everyone is asexual now because it's trendy.
