Am I still asexual if I get aroused from being sexually suggestive. Like, I enjoy blurring the lines and flirting and acting sexually suggestive and that turns me on. But adding another person into actual sexual activity ruins it for me.

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction, whether it’s partially, wholly, under circumstances where sexual attraction is considered “normal,” etc. Asexuality is a very broad spectrum and there are a lot of microlables and more specific sexualities under the broader ace umbrella. It has nothing to do with libido, so you could very well be aspec even if you do have desires/interests. I’d recommend looking into the different types of asexuality and seeing if any of them resonate with you. :)

I say I’m ace because it’s easier than saying “im demi but for mostly trauma reasons, but I’ve grown with that trauma since I was 5 so who knows if this is who I am or what I became”

I’ve looked into it, and I believe the correct label for me is aegosexual. But asexual is just a hell of a lot easier to say so I’m gonna go by that.
