For context, I’m an ace who is sex averse/repulsed, so I don’t see any appeal in having sex ever. This is key part of my asexuality: I don’t like people sexually so I don’t have sex with anyone. But this is just my experience as an ace.

So, I have been wondering about aces who have sex, because I don’t understand how that works. What makes you want to have sex, if you aren’t sexually attracted to people? And how does it feel to have sex if you aren’t attracted to the person? Do most aces who have sex identify with labels like graysexual or demisexual?

I made this post, because I want to understand the ace spectrum better and hear about other ace people’s experieces. Thank you for everyone who answers!
