Seeking advice/thoughts from asexual community
Hello, I am a 32 male who has identified as gay since my teenage years. I was in a 10+ year long relationship with another man that ended a few months ago and I’ve been trying to get back into dating but I’m finding that I don’t enjoy physical touch. My ex and I only had sex a few times in our more than a decade together and I always thought it was just because he became more of a best friend in my life, and so I wasn’t sexually attracted to him. My confusion comes from that I’m still attracted to men, one look at my explore page on IG and you’d see that I love men! Since dating I have been intimate with men that I am very attracted to but I don’t feel anything when we are intimate. I find myself just waiting for it to be over and don’t get enjoyment out of it, despite being attracted to them. So I am wondering if those who identify as asexual feel attraction to others? Sorry if that comes off as ignorant, generally curious.
