Is it normal to not be attracted to people and have never been aroused?

Alright well I am 19 years old, and I have never dated anyone or had sex. Not because I didn't get offers, but because I had no interest too. When I see a man or a woman (I'm female) I just don't get attracted to them. I have watched porn (Gay and straight)and have tried kissing both genders but it does nothing for me. I can appreciate how someone looks though, male or female. I have just never felt anthing sexual, and I have honestly never been aroused. I've even almost had sex just to see if I would feel something but I didn't. I don't even masturbate because I never feel the need to. I have looked around and discovered I could possibly be asexual but I am curious if anyone else feels the same way I do?

Is It Normal?

  • I'm glad and hope you can learn to be comfortable with yourself. These are some of the sites my brother goes to.

  • It's perfectly natural. Everyone is born a diffrent way, whether their gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual.
    My brother is going through the same thing you are.

    He is 24 and never dated or had sex, and he is just fine with that, and still lives life the same way everyone else does. Just without relationships.

    There is nothing wrong with you for feeling this way, Asexuality is more common than people realize and If my advise dosen't help I know you can find support groups or even if you don't want to do that there are forums online where people post about the same things you are going through.

    Just know that nothing is wrong with you mentally or physically. It's like me being bisexual, I'm not atrracted to just one gender and there is nothing wrong with that. All we can do with our lives is be comfortable with ourselves and not care what anyone else thinks.

    • Wow, I'm glad someone else is like me and living a perfectly normal life.

      I did think that something was wrong with me, and I think I will look at support groups online, because I think I do need helpp being comfortable and accepting myself. Thank you so much.
