Anyone else think sex is weird
I can never find anyone with the same aversion
I don't mind reading it, but porn and the thought of sex weirds me out. Maybe because of how dramatised it is, like all porn videos are and also how it's written in books makes me VERY uncomfortable and honestly grosses me out.
I'm not against sex or people having it, I know it's normal thing. And I don't idolise it or think it's the end all, be all of life, but the majority (to me) thinks and acts this way. But when I think about or bring up my diversion to it (or just that in my head it's such an unnatural thing whether it's the pornified or sensual activity that it is), people kind of act like I'm broken or bizarre. And I'm not conservative or anything like that, and my friends talk about their sexual experiences to me all the time, but that doesn't make me uncomfortable (which is even more confusing).
Don't get me wrong, my idea of sex is a fun and enjoyable activity with whomever you choose, but it's so hard to find sexual content that isn't an overdramatic seventeen year old boys wet dream.
And even then, my fun thing my imagination can't get passed whenever I watch a movie or TV show with sex scenes (since I find porn videos super gross and avoid it like the plague), I can't just watch two people having sex. It's two people having sex, the camera, and twenty camera crew standing in a studio.
Asexuallity is probably my explanation, but I don't know anyone that has similar thoughts and views on sex that aren't conservative.
I think sex can be a bit awkward, uncomfortable and weird, but I think intimacy is sorta great so sex with someone you desire intimacy with is pretty nice if you find that fulfilling, not everyone does and that's okay! reply
Me too, Im fine with fictional porn like drawing but I can't bring myself to watch like live action ones because it's so cringey and awkward. I've done sex few times in my life and I didn't really enjoy them, they were mostly distraction or a coping machanism for me. Lust is so overrated. I mean yes with the right person, it's cool but sex isn't wh...... reply
Uhh I have a similar experience but not the same. I don’t mind reading it (in books as well though ), but porn makes me pretty uncomfortable. I need that stuff censored irl too. Ik people around me are doing it, but ig the difference is I know I want to at some point, but the thought of actually doing it is gross… wdym I have to do allat 1 reply
Aroace here, you're 100% on the asexual spectrum. And there's nothing wrong with that, don't let anyone else make you think you're weird!! It's just a sexual orientation (or rather, a lack or sexual orientation?) like any other. I personally don't have any problems with reading smut, be it in novels or in manga/hwa/hua, or with intimacy in general,...... 1 reply
maybe you're aroace/asexual? also maybe because porn and sex scene always turn out to be on the male gaze and exaggerated to feed their desires, that's maybe one of the reason why grosses u out
also do you have experienced? i also have the same sentiments before tho i consume media w sex scene, since we are being fed w media w men's fantasy i alwa...... reply
I mean idk… for me it’s a bit paradoxical because I know I’m aroace and have no interest, but I also have ocd and maybe due to early exposure I tend to have a lot of unwarranted thoughts regarding sex, and so have been desensitized a little compared to when I was younger.. I can watch porn just fine, and even do it as an occasional pastime (I...... reply
I'm only averted when I'm actually doing it with someone bc the intimacy with someone else is what irks me off, though looking at sex in movies and real porn also kinda puts me off too (btw it does for most people I know) and apparently I'm aegosexual.
I think you're normal and just want to have simple intercourse in the future with someone you rea...... reply
