Asexual or dysphoria Jun 30, 2015 23:29:54 GMT

Hello all I have been following benjiscloset for awhile and i have been wondering to myself if i am asexual or if the reason anything sexual bothers me is because my dysphoria is kinda centered around the hate i feel for certain regions of my body. I love romantic touching such as hand holding,dancing, hands through my hair or on my hips but the instant it moves from romantic into the intimate area, i get super uncomfortable and just want things to stop. So really im just not sure, and any help would be much appreciated.

I'm a cis ace so I can't exactly give you the best advice, but it could be either or it could be both. It may just be better for you to focus on your dysphoria for now and try to get it as low as possible and see if you still have trouble with that.

But remember, asexuality is not a lack of sex drive or not wanting to engage in sexual activities. It is not feeling sexual attraction. For example, someone can feel sexual attraction and still have a low sex drive or be uncomfortable when things get physically sexual. Or someone can not feel sexual attraction and still have a high sex drive and/or enjoy sex a lot.

So if the problem here is that you just get uncomfortable with sexual activities but you still experience sexual attraction, it might be the dysphoria or you might just not like that type of intimacy.

You matter. <3
