If you are wondering whether or not you are asexual, there are some signs to consider. Some of these include feeling unable to relate when people talk about finding a person or situation “hot” or “sexy,” as well as finding sexual content or conversations anywhere from foreign to uncomfortable. These alone do not mean you are asexual. If you are curious or unsure, The Asexuality Visibility & Education Network has forums where you can speak with others and have your questions answered about asexuality.

The important takeaway is to be respectful of someone who tells you that they are asexual. Like with any sexuality that falls outside of hetero-normative, the decision to come out is deeply personal and sometimes difficult. So when someone comes out to you as asexual, accept it and respect it – they know their identity better than anyone else.
