Wow, I-- Suddenly everything makes more sense. I've spent most of my youth/young adult life drifting between whether I'm asexual or a repressed queer with a low libido. (I had the kind of upbringing where sex was never mentioned because it would have been too awkward, but I've always been pretty mature and I don't think I've ever been that innocent about sex.)

I have some kind of a sex drive, but I've never been physically attracted to a real person (or a fictional one, for that matter). I do find many people visually pleasing and I can think someone is attractive and sexy but that doesn't mean I'd be sexually attracted to them myself. I fantasize, but my fantasies never have anything to do with myself and very rarely anyone particular. As you said, I'm turned on by ideas and situations and atmosphere. I've had sex and I don't mind having it to please my partner, though I prefer to be the one to do the touching. I just don't really get the urge. I really love reading about sex, and I think there's something wonderful and sensual about beautiful writing, and though I rarely get physically off on it, it is pleasing to me on a certain sensual level.

My biggest problem with identifying myself as anything has always been that I'm mostly drawn to asexuality because I've always found it so hard to relate the way most people are attracted to others on a purely physical level. But on the other hand, I do still have a sex drive (even if I don't desire to have sex with other people) and I do have fantasies, just not the 'regular' kind. But what you said kind of solves this tangle a little bit. Thank you so much.
