Am i asexual or am i waiting?

Lately my friends keeps saying I'm asexual, here's some facts about me I'm a 20 years old Asian female who never had a boyfriend and sex. I'm 4'10 I have a pretty decent body with average looks with 34'B cup size. Although I'm not tall I still get guys. I've had guys that like me but I don't find them attractive. I'm not interested in females either. I've also got a pretty damn good personality and I've been called a date-able type. Recently my friends been asking if I'm interested in the act of sex and I say sure shyly and look away. I admit this topic is a little embarrassing hence I've never had the experience and don't know what to say. My friends believes that I'm using religion as an excuse for not wanting to do it with my boyfriend if I get one but I'm not I just want to wait. I find myself wanting to be held in arms of a man but I don't have the courage to show this side of myself to my friends and I don't know why? Every time we talk about these things the word "eww" utters from my mouth automatically, completely different from what I wanted to say and when I try to fix it, my friends accuse me to be just believing what society wants me to believe and that this proves me more to be asexual.
My question is am I asexual or am I waiting?

YES asexual 74
NO not asexual just waiting 220

    I think you should enjoy life and not fret about what others might think

    I don't think you're asexual. I think you're nervous and inexperienced around the subject of sex and relationships (for obvious reasons) and you're waiting for someone you feel an attraction to. It'll happen when it happens.

    Even if you've never had sex, you should know if you would like to or not. If you want something more than being held in the arms of a man and you are excited at the idea of some sort of sexual contact, you are not asexual. If your thoughts don't go beyond that, you might be asexual.

    Just enjoy your life :). Having a boyfriend or girlfriend isn't something you HAVE to have NOW. I'm single, and I don't know if I found "the one"

    you know yourself if you're asexual or not.

    there's nothing wrong with not dating if the selection you have around you isn't attractive or attractive enough to tempt you.

    dating just for the sake of dating can be shallow and lame.

    Asexual is another less offensive term for:Sexually asthenic.
    Or incapable of experiencing any pleasure from sexual intercourse.Sexual asthenia can be either physical or psychological or both. In the first case the person wishes he or she could have sex but cannot because it is painful,in the second case the lack of the ability to get aroused,to be sexually attracted by a person,makes the "asexual" incapable of sex. Or in other words:nobody really turns him or her on.
    These two things are usually linked to one another somewhat.Example:A person with a condition making sex painful,such as an heart condition or arthritis,on the long run might lead to loss of sexual desire. Technically Asexual means:without sexual organs.It is often a term used to refeer to Angels or other asexuated supernatural creatures.
    Then,and this might be your case,there is sexual insecurity,sexual repulsion,and all of the other behavioral reactions thar have really got the purpose to avoid one kind of sexual activity or another and therefore,whoever engages in it or you know would want to. Religions,particularly those teaching that sex is against the will of god and that sort of thing,like some forms of fundamental christianity,can trigger particular fears,most of them related to divine punishment, or to judgment,so the person ends up with this set of delusional beliefs that eventually lead to forms of psychological asthenia. Or sexual avoidance. I am not saying it is wrong,sometimes absteining from sex actually is good for a person already precarious health,or for the maintance of a particular mind settings and personality traits.
    To know if you are asexual:do you ever experience attraction for somebody?do you ever masturbate thinking about someone you'd like to have sex with?Does the thought of getting near somebody elses genitals gross you out?
    If the aswers to these questions are:No,no,yes and they are honest answers,then yes,you might be considered "asexual".
    But if you are ling,then you are an hypocrite and should be burnt at the stake.Just kidding. Some people who got forms of selective social anxiety might find the idea of making out,or having sex with specific people,who would not have any troubles finding someone to have sex with, unsavoury.
    For a variety of reasons.In that case,you are just waiting for "that special someone" you can feel comfortable with,perhaps somebody who displays certain behavioral characteristics making him "the right one". This right one must probablt share your religious wievs and act on them as much as you do,and only think about sex as something to do to procreate.Rather than for fun and pleasure.Kind of a difficult mission tho.You might never run into the right kind of guy and eventually have to submit to your peers pressure.

      I admit your comment is very good but I'd like to point out that asexuality does exist and is considered a legitimate sexual orientation by many people. It is not just a "less offensive" term for a hyposexual.

      Also, asexuals CAN feel attracted to others-- just not in a sexual way. In other words, we'd like to date/hug you but you don't turn us on.

      And most asexuals are not "grossed out" by sex or genitals. We are pretty indifferent to it. Some of us even have sex for other reasons, for example, having kids or pleasing one's significant other (if he/she is sexual.)

        It was already implied in what I said. And...
        Pleasing one significant other?
        You mean prostitution? You like being a whore?
        I did not say hyposexual,which is not even a medical term,I said:sexually asthenic.
        Well, if you like being ignorant too besides a whore,it is just fine with me.
        Asexual means what it means not what you want it to mean.
        Deal with it.
        Asianses do not masurbate much cause they believe "life force" gets drained out of them if they do, thus making them age faster. And guess what? They are right.
        To "sign up"
        It means that you are a six year old or a pretty dumb person that does not know the difference between affective attraction and sexual attraction. The need to be taken care of,or the need for physical contact,does not automatically make you a sexual being.Or are you impling children should have sex as well to please their "significant others"?
        Do not even bother repling I am not even gonna read you.

          Having sex because your partner is sexual isn't prostitution. You don't get paid to do it. You do it because of personal choice. You're just not "pleased" in the same way your SO is. If your SO wanted you to bake a cake with him/her, and you don't really like cake, you would still bake the cake just for the sake of spending time with him/her, right?

          I don't know what you're talking about. Of course children shouldn't be having sex.
          I'm really not following your logic. What did I say that offended you so badly? Do you even know how to read English properly? Judging by your spelling and grammer, I would think not.

          Lastly, you said:
          "Asexual means what it means not what you want it to mean.
          Deal with it."

          Exactly. Asexual means what it means. And if you had bothered to click on the link I put up there, you would see that according to AVEN, the official asexual website, everything I said about asexuality was legit.

          I don't care if you're not going to read my reply. People out there, especially the OP ,need to know the right information.

        It means you're not asexual and you need to forget morals and masturbate more.

        Well, you might be. Since you don't have any sexual attraction, I'd say it's possible. In the end, it's up to you to decide.

        By the way, you can masturbate and still be asexual. Its not sex ;)

    I find a lot of Asians have low sex drives, a lot don't masturbate. Of course there are exceptions. But ehh I'm willing to bet you're normal with just a low sex drive and perhaps don't want to do anything since your parents discouraged you.

    Do it in your own time when you are good and ready

    It sounds like you could be! I found out that I was asexual by looking at stories of other aces that were similar to what I was feeling. I would do some research on the asexual (and also aromantic) communities and see if you are asexual and/or aromantic. Try not to be bothered by the claims of your friends, not everyone will understand your feelings. I wish you the best of luck! :)

    Honestly, only you can label yourself, so plan it day by day. I'm Biologically a male, and I identified as an asexual before I had sex (im homoromantic now). I had sex around 5 times with guys (I love it) and I'm still not sexually attracted to anyone. No body is hot or sexy in my eyes. I know when someone is beautiful or ugly, but just not sexually to me.

    No you are not asexual you are just very conservative. When you use this term it can used in more than just the political sense. You do not like talking about sex and you are not bold enough to pursue someone.

    That is perfectly normal and some people are just like that. It does not mean anything is wrong with you. Also simply wanting to wait till marriage does not mean you are doing it for religious reasons.

    You have a right to NOT have sex. You do not have to have it simply because everyone is telling you to. Your friends are morons and following stupid stereotypes which makes them ignorant twats. Asexual means you are not interested in sex. If you are interested in it but want to wait till you find the right guy that is normal.

    Some people do not like to date a lot and all the time. Some might also argue dating a bunch of people that are not right for you creates a lot of heartbreak and unnecessary hassle. So no your friends are idiots. Just ignore them and tell them to leave you alone. You do not have to have sex SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DID!

    If you haven't had sex yet you're called a virgin either male or female. As for you saying you "had" guy would mean you had sex of some sort. If you haven't had sex yet you haven't had a guy yet.
    Like when I was 24, a woman exposed Me as a virgin in public and told Me in front of her lady friend "You haven't had a girlfriend yet your still a virgin who plays with himself to playboy videos" I was very embarrased, becasue it was true.

    I'd say you're normal, just not ready to date yet. :)

    I was like that once too.I didn't have a desire to have a boyfriend until I was around 21; didn't have sex until I was 22. In my defense, I was just busy with school and other things to care about dating. I was also (and still am) really picky with men. I thought I was "asexual" a long time ago.

    In my opinion, which I highly stress is just an opinion, asexuality is a dysfunction. Biologically we have reproductive parts and scientifically know that reproduction is a part of the reason we exist. Humans are social animals with advance sensory to interpret feelings. For us to resist this is not part of our nature. Usually for one to avoid this trauma of some sort has occurred or social/economic/idealistic reasons has prevented us from doing as such.

    Why is this even a poll, either you're sexually attracted to people or you're not. You are the only one who would know. Look up some porn and figure it out yourself.

      I'm asexual and I get turned on by porn, but I don't get turned on when I have sex. You're post is not helpful in any way.
