Not all asexuals are sex repulsed, it just means not being sexually attracted to others either all the time or some of the time (unless preconditions are met in the case of demisexuals or grey-asexuals). Us ace-spec people can and do have sex if we aren’t always repulsed, just not always for attraction reasons.
can’t just go and tell me I need to relearn words again!
/s thanks for the info!! Though it makes me sort of think that anyone who isn’t asexual are essentially all “sluts” by this definition (sexually attracted to everyone around them above some personally maintained arbitrary threshold of determining attractiveness??) but I will continue to try and care both more and less about the specificities of the terms and just continue to try to take pleasure in the fact that me knowing them (or trying to have learned them at least) might provide some sense of inclusion to someone down the road [that has experienced their sexual awakening in one of the myriad of different ways possible, rather than a way in which I somehow am already familiar with which in reality seems considerably unlikely for how young/antisocial I am, or have generally been, throughout my life so far], or possibly someday help me better explain my own feelings or experiences to someone else later on, who might also know about such nuances of sexual orientation, or have had similar experiences/feelings in their life but were lacking specific words for them
Not having to worry about gender/sexuality (except asexuality I guess) in your dating pool and still failing
