I'm like a camel - a hump or two and I'm good for a long time! 
I'd never be compatible with an asexual though. I need a partner who wants me, physically. I don't really get much out of sex itself, it's pretty rare that I can orgasm. But I need to make someone else feel good to feel good about myself. My ideal partner is a bit selfish, sexually speaking. But not too much.
Ironically, if there was a female copy of me, I wouldn't be compatible with myself. |

I feel asexual 50-75% of the time, depending on how much stress and things are going on in my life. When I am eating better, I am more sexual.
I have problems with emotions and trust and physical problems, so I'm rarely having sexual contact with another person. I want to, but I don't want to feel certain ways during and after, which makes me anxious before and not wanting to do it 
I would consider that living asexually, unless you include what I do by myself. |

I miss "yes, most of the time" on the poll. I chose all the time, because I very seldom have those feelings, and when I do, it's only a mind game, when I think of actually doing it for real, I feel sick. So I consider myself asexual

| I think I'm a heterosexual affected by AS. I did feel an occasional desire for sex when I was young, sometimes because of hormone surges and sometimes because I was with a man I was attracted to. But when it came to actually doing it...that was no fun at all. I hated the physical and emotional closeness, I hated all the fussy foreplay stuff, I hated the weight on top of me, I hated the sweat and the smell, I hated the heavy breathing, I hated the sounds the guys made, and I hated the fact it usually hurt as well. I was just overwhelmed by sensory unpleasantness, and I've tried it enough times to know it wasn't only something that happened at first. I think perhaps if I didn't have AS with severe sensory issues, I might like sex – but I do have AS, and I didn't wait too long before giving myself permission to stop trying to like it! The fleeting desires I felt became less and less frequent as I got older, and since going through the menopause I haven't felt any kind of sexual desire at all, just complete equilibrium. Which is bliss. |

I'm an aromantic asexual. Courtship rituals baffle me. I sort of wish it were possible to reproduce via parthogenesis, because I'd love to have a child of my own - I've got strong maternal urges. I just don't see any appeal in the conventional method.

| I wouldn't say I'm asexual at all, but my most recent boyfriend was coercive and aggressive, so I took a long break and have decided to be more careful with men. My heart goes out to other women who survived abuse. |

| I'm mostly asexual, but I still do find some men attractive. I have no interest in sex whatsoever. Maybe I'm just young and that will change when I'm older. My AS makes me more asexual as well. |

| Yes, I'm extremely picky about the guys I like. I don't develop crushes just by looking at someone that easily. Personality is what wins me over. |

I have no clue about asexuality or not, but I have no desire to share any sexual activities with someone else as I think the physical contact is quite daunting. I am slightly attracted to a very small amount of people, so I guess I am hetrosexual, but I also think I just am not able to do the social stuff that is required to start a relationship in general.

I go through periods of very low sex drive. I guess I can kind of call that asexual. I also go through periods where my sex drive is super high. I barely ever get periods where my sex drive is normal. I hope my sex drive is normal when puberty is done.

Yeah. Pretty much all the time. Still baffling how I can feel affection for another human.
Something I Jess when he asks about my sexuality: I'm asexual, Jess. Get over yourself. |
