Is it normal to be asexual?

82% Normal
3 Comments

So I am 100% certain I'm asexual (not sexually attracted to people) and I'm probably aromatic (not romantically attracted to people) too, but whenever I talk to my mom about it, she just says that I'm a late bloomer and I'll find a person I like eventually. I'm in college. She also insists that my biological clock will kick in and that I'll want children eventually, and is saving baby clothes for my children. Is there something wrong with me? What can I do to make my parents understand asexuality? (I swear I've tried explaining it 50 times by now).

    Don't worry I am a 56yr old virgin I have no sexual experience I have no interest in sex just go with the flow, I treasure my virginity and wouldn't have it any other way sex is not my cup of tea and never will be. If you are asexual fantastic go for it I am public about my virginity and it is the best thing I have ever done.

    I feel like a lot of our society is uncomfortable being in the grey area. But is it really that bad of a thing? It may be uncomfortable, but try not to label yourself. You are allowed to live life without having to be classified as "straight" or "gay" or "asexual". Just live your life :) Tackle your parents' questions as they come (why don't you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet?), and explain why you feel the way you do. It may be uncomfortable for them to be in the grey area, too, but just live in the present. Thinking ahead too much just creates unnecessary anxiety.
