Generally, I am pretty unsure about my sexual identity. I'm okay without having a label as I don't really like them, but I have a question. I don't really find myself "attracted" to people and the thought of having sex genuinely horrifies me. However, I can get turned on when I read, ya know, sexy things. This is both manga and books btw. I'm pretty uneducated about asexuality, but it's kinda embarrassing to talk about my manga habits irl si I can't really ask about it. Any insights would be appreciated.
I'm asexual and I absolutely love smexy manga. I think the main difference is one has you involved while a manga is a story about others. If I imagine myself in the same situations as the characters in the manga I'm reading, it disgusts me. But, when it's about others, I love it. Hope that helps!
I’m not asexual but some people finds sex disgusting/horrifying (or anything negative) due to a trauma. I have a friend that was in this case and the therapist was encouraging her to get past this trauma. Anyway, you can’t know until you have tried but sex is literally just a pass-time (since it’s not needed to live) so not having sex is as normal as not playing video games. So try it out when you feel like it even if that never happens.
Not asexual but bi. But there was a time I thought I was asexual when I'm younger. My only advice is to take your time. if you feel sexual urges but isnt sure about your preferences, then it hasn't come on you yet. and IDK, if you feel it I don't think you're asexual. Don't get impatient you will figure it out later on.

Ok! That's exactly how I feel. I can enjoy it in stories, but picturing myself as one of the characters is horrifying. Thanks for responding I'm not sure yet about who I am since I have 0 romantic experience, but you've helped me feel a bit more confident
Everyone, help me! It's a yaoi manga I read a while ago about a man (uke) who works in a gay bar even though he isn't gay. He is pursued by a customer who's also a transvestite (seme). That's all I really remember; the part that stands out in my memory the most is the seme dressed as a woman.
