Explaining my aromantic and asexuality (not that anyone cares I just want to)
Post Body

Okay so I know I feel romantic attraction but only once Iā€™ve known someone for a while I canā€™t just start dating someone and develop feelings later I need that connection with them then to develop chemistry and romantic feelings then start dating once Iā€™m sure (Demiromantic) but when Iā€™m dating someone Iā€™ll go through periods where I find the idea of being romantic or cuddling or anything kinda gross (aroflux) I also donā€™t experience getting a crush very often, I do experience squishes, where I just really wanna be someoneā€™s friend

But with sexual attraction itā€™s confusing, I donā€™t feel conventional sexual attraction, I canā€™t look at someone and say ā€œI would fuck themā€ I donā€™t understand the phrase ā€œthat person is hotā€ I thought it just ment the person looks aesthetically appealing, or that theyā€™re cool and you wanna get to know them, I also find sex is not very important in relationships and most of the time sex is unappealing (asexual)

but the problem comes from when I experience libido (I get it around once a month in turn with my hormone cycle) I find the feeling scary itā€™s like I have a completely different personality, usually even with this I donā€™t really want my SO specifically i just want sexual interaction with no strings attached I donā€™t want the expectation that Iā€™ll do it again nor do I want to remember it happened after the fact I just want to do it and get over it, which is why I often choose to satisfy myself and try to pretend it didnā€™t happen, that I didnā€™t want my SO there, that I wasnā€™t craving anything, because it makes me not trust myself, it makes me feel out of controlā€¦. I think part of this has to do with the fact one time I was on a med combination that was making me manic, and constantly craving sexual interaction, and so now any feelings of sexual arousal make me nervous , this makes me confused about my asexuality but then I remind myself itā€™s lack of sexual attraction not lack of libido and you can have libido without attraction

Occasionally I will find myself finding my SO sexually attractive but I need to really really trust them and that usually takes at least a year, and I also need myself to be in the mood, I usually just consider this demisexual but idk
