I’m 25 and still don’t know my sexuality. How did you know you were gay? Or how did you know if you were ace? I feel like most ppl have known what they were since being a kid.

I knew I was asexual bc I've never gotten turned on just from someone's looks. I've also never had the urge to touch someone or like grab their tits or dick or whatever I still get horny and like sex but neither of those things are influenced or enhanced by my partners looks also some people take time to figure their sexuality out and that's nothing to be ashamed of

never had a strong “awakening” or defined moment in my childhood—in fact, i had tried to be as “girl” as i possibly could by liking “girl colors” and playing “girl sports” but wouldnt ya know it in high school i felt repulsed given she/her pronouns… covid gave me a space to explore and thats what happened. then wondered if i liked a girl who it would be. shes my gf now

I didn’t figure out anything about myself till college. It’s never too late to learn about yourself

One day I was laying in bed and just kinda figured out that I never had any sort of sexual attraction for anyone, like when my friends say that they wanna fuck someone at first sight or they have dreams about sex it’s an entirely foreign concept to me Finding out I was aro was a lot more of a process with a lot of deliberation about what qualifies as a romantic feeling and whether or not I would be happy in a relationship and I decided that it was justified and I’m pretty confident about it
