So today, to kick off this week, I'm going to share the story of how I came to realize I was asexual.

~~~~~~~

10/23

If you've been reading this book for a while, your probably already know about the chapter I released a couple months ago where I was beginning to realize my sexual orientation as asexual.

Up until then, this is literally how I imagined myself:

"I'm heterosexual but I don't have any interest in sex."

I really started to see myself as this orientation especially after the human body systems unit in my 7th grade science class when we went over the reproductive system.

*cue violent shuddering*

OKAY,so this is basically how the lesson went:

Our teacher was about to pull up a BrainPop video for us going over the human reproductive system and told us how we had to be mature enough to watch it and all that other stuff.

So we start watching it, and then BrainPop thinks it's a good idea to show us what the male reproductive system looks like first.

Yeah, pretty much everyone in the class and the following classes were scarred for life.

It wasn't even detailed, but that's STILL not something I wanna see. 😫

After that slightly horrific lesson in which I could barely look at anymore, I left certain about one thing.

Sex is definitely not gonna be a part of my life.

Keep in mind I didn't know about the orientation asexuality until a few months later, so I wasn't identifying as that yet. I genuinely thought it was natural to react to something like that.

Summer rolls around and my family is preparing to move, and in my own little bubble of existence, I was randomly searching up things in Google related to crushes since I was in the process of getting over mine. I search up "i don't like kissing" and I come across this website with the word asexuality in it (I was mainly searching this up because I was kind of uncomfortable with kissing scenes in shows and movies...still am).

Anyways, I check the website out, scroll the replies to someone's post, I decide, "Hmm, this sounds like me kind of...maybe I should check this orientation out some more."

I get even more curious and do some more looking into the subject, and then I come to the realization that oh my gods, I'm asexual, what do I do now?

Obviously you already know what I did, I asked you guys for help to guide me

Have some butterbeer for that 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

And there you have it, that's my story of realizing I was asexual.

If you guys have your own stories of realizing your orientation and you feel comfortable enough, go ahead and comment them. :)
