Hi all, have a bit of a slight bump in figuring this out inside my head, and was wondering if our community here could help unravel with some sharing of experiences and reflection.

Here's my experience: I am female and asexual, specifically heteroromantic, and I do have a slight libido. I also have the desire to have children and a family if a solid and good opportunity present itself.

While a part of me feels fine with adoption or step/god/foster parenting, I still think positively about having my own kid. And unless for fertility reasons or I opt for a donor versus a father, I would probably go for natural conception, which means...sex.

This has definitely confused my asexual brain a bit. I'm still in the process of figuring out how to make these thoughts work logically for myself. Does anyone have similar experiences they wouldn't mind sharing? I would also like to hear from those that do not want children and what reflections you have on the issue.
