yaoiboy116 Silver Artisticus Moon I consider myself Pomosexual (not defining myself by any general sexual orientation), but I most closely resemble asexuality. But honestly, I don't know what the hell I am. And I regularly get depressed over it... Hmm, well everyone is different and will experience or view their sexuality differently. For me, for example. I thought I was gay because I didn't feel physical attraction to the opposite gender but when I experimented with someone of the same gender I didn't feel attracted to them either. When I am physically close to someone whom I consider a significant other I physically feel nauseous. And it could be anything. I feel sick to my stomach if I so much as hold their hand, or kiss them or anything and so for me, what makes sense is A-sexuality. Like I said, for everyone its different so perhaps you just need to reflect on experiences you may have had with people and try to figure it out. If you can't there is no need to be depressed about it, just stop worrying about it. I've learned in my gender studies course at the university I attend that there is no need to identify yourself as something specific. E.G. male/female/gay/straight/pansexual or anything else. Society makes us feel that we need a label but in truth we don't.
Not going with any label is why I define myself as pom. Even though it sounds weird with Pomosexual being a label one uses to not be labeled... But yeah, I used to be gay. I had a wonderful boyfriend and was happy but then just one day completely out of the blue all romantic and sexual attractions just...died. It was depressing because of the people who were hurt because of it. Right now my ex and I are the closest of friends, but I think he just saves face when around me. I mean, I hurt him really bad when we had that long talk that made us "just friends." He doesn't show it, but I know him like others don't, we shared everything with each other. It's just that pain I know he's hiding that in turn hurts me knowing I caused that suffering. One of my biggest fears is losing everyone close to me, which sometimes even made me not want to get close, and that emotional bomb didn't help.

I'm very new to this website, but I'm also quite relieved to have found this topic. I looked through the guilds here to find one with asexuality anywhere in the description, but couldn't find any that weren't dead. I personally identify as asexual and genderqueer, and I've been heavily involved with LGBTQ activism at my college campus for the past year. I got my school's GSA to start including asexuality as an orientation as one of my first acts there, because I believe it is incredibly important to let everyone know that there are certain lesser-known labels that, while not currently having a very high visibility, are still ways in which people are born. I went a full nineteen years of my life having never heard of asexuality, and I was very confused and frustrated at times as a result. I know the suicide rates for gender and sexual minorities are already through the roof, and I believe that simply informing people of the different categories they might fall under could potentially save lives down the road when they realize they aren't the only ones who feel the way they feel. If anyone has any questions about it, I'd be glad to answer them, of course, but for the time being, I simply wanted to say that yes, I do identify as asexual, as do an estimated 1% of the world population, and I've been doing my best to increase awareness of asexuality in general since starting college. So thank you for addressing the issue.
