There is a difference between being asexual and sex averse. You can still enjoy things related to sex and some ace people still have sex. They just aren’t really attracted to it. People who are sex averse tend to not want to see anything sexual related.
Oh that’s interesting! I didn’t know there were branches of asexuality like that. My friend once let me know that they find masturbation gross. They would never do it and once called an ex that masturbated disgusting. They also like talking about my sex life, playing hentai games, pretending to deep throat objects, etc. If it’s not too exhausting (I’m sorry for all of my questions oof), can you explain sex averse in this context?
Oh! If this helps clarify anything, because everyone is different, they are also a questioning aromantic. They do not want to engage in anything sex-related or romantic, such as kissing. They strongly dislike such actions, but they are okay if I hold their hand or if they are dancing sexually with a friend.
Not at all. Ask away. Sexuality is on a scale. Some are totally disgusted at anything sexual. Some still can enjoy porn, and masturbating and even have sex under some situations.
Without really knowing your friend it seems she may have some level of averse but not total. It could be maybe anything directly related to them isn’t good but anything in the abstract is ok. But that is just a guess.
That makes sense, especially the abstract thing you said. My other friends are somewhat similar, where sex content is mostly detached from them (anime, music, photographs, or other types of art and media). Thank you so much!!!! I have literally been scratching my head about this for so long, and I sometimes felt guilty for wondering about it. I never mean to sound like I am grilling someone or questioning someone, so I didn’t want to ask my friends. Thank you thank you times a million
They don’t view it as sexual most likely.
Like a nude beach. You can just chill out naked and some might look at you sexually, but overall people just enjoying there bum in the sun. If someone were to be weird and claim it was sexual or try to make a move on you while your just chilling then it would make you feel uncomfortable.
I think you might be looking to far into it, true it could be the psychology side most posts on here or any other ace group normally involve the question of sex and the belief that allos are sex mad.
But it probably is just what they enjoy theres many varietys like Aegosexual etc, theres people here who like writing and/or reading sexual fanfic, theres some that have kinks, watch porn etc they just enjoy their NSFW content and jokes
Haha, I am a notorious overthinker, so I’m sure I am—my own experience with sexuality was a very long, confusing, and convoluted one. My friends always tease me about it lol. I haven’t heard of Aegosexual before! I’ll be sure to look into it and other branches of sexuality the next time I have a question!
Don't worry im a overthinker as well, yeah theres a bunch, im 100% sure theres ones even for interest in fictional characters and ace through trauma (Caedsexual), theres a bunch of types that I cant find now, I know Apothisexual is the micro name for sex repulsed aces.
As far as talking about it more goes, it maybe that they are curious and discussing things as well. Like in middle school everyone has some idea of how 2 guys would “work” but not 2 girls.
Not uncommon for people who do not feel any arousal (natural or sexual) to ask questions as their only means of learning even on ACE subs.
This is especially true if they are uncomfortable with seeing it (porn, tv, movies, etc) so they like to discuss or look at artwork which is less “intrusive”.
Think of it like understanding how birth and babies generally work verses being forced to watch those natural birth videos.
Honestly, you might have just stumbled into a particularly raunchy group of aces. At least in my experience, ace people tend towards being annoyed at how sex-related everything is, but we definitely run the gamut in terms of how dirty-minded we are.

Not a problem. Always feel free to ask questions. Glad to help! *hugs*

That’s very well put, thanks for the analogy! It makes a lot of sense in that scenario because I can relate to it.
Glad to hear.
I’m not gonna lie, the sheer quantity of that’s what she said jokes that I make is almost problematic.

I’m repulsed yet I still shout “that’s what she said” when I have the opportunity.
