Is it weird as an asexual that I still want to try sex?

I am Asexual But Bi-Romantic for the most part with a preference towards men, but I've never really had the desire or drive for sex, but is it weird to still want to try it out of curiosity of what it feels like?

  • For everyone else, asexual mean you have no sexual attraction to others. It doesn't mean you are devoid of curiosity or other emotions. Being emotionally attracted and sexually attracted are two separate things and can exist without the other.

    Moving onto the question: No I don't think it's weird. I think it's normal to be curious and want to try things, even if you will only ever do it once in your life. Referring to the above, asexual means you aren't sexually attracted to people, it doesn't mean you can't have sex. So if you are curious about it, then it is perfectly normal to want to try it. If you do though, please take the appropriate precautions against diseases and pregnancy.

    • Thanks for explaining that to everyone, and yeah I was just curious because I start college this coming semester and I just wanted to experiment and try out things, intercourse being on that list

    • Glad to be of assistance on both accounts. Your reasoning is very understandable and expected in or around that time frame. Just be careful with such experimenting and I'd say you'll be fine.

  • I don't think there's anything weird or wrong about wanting to try it. Some ace people have sex, some don't. You can always stop if you don't like it, right? If you're interested in it then there's no harm in trying

  • Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or a low interest in sexual activity.

    A low interest does not rule out to try and see for yourself what the entire fuss is all about. If, after trying out intercourse you still feel it is way overrated and that you are not into it, then you can consider yourself a true asexual.

    If on the other hand you find pleasure at this activity, then you are less likely to be a true asexual person but one with a very low sex drive.

  • Then you're not asexual. You're a special snowflake who wants attention.

  • I would be curious too.

  • If you'd had good sex... you'd want it again.
    There's no better drug.

  • Do you have any sort of sex drive?

    • None at all, aside from curiousity of what it feels like I don't have a natural urge to do so

  • Then you aren't really asexual

  • I find asexuality curious - that is, I cannot even imagine what it is like - however, curiosity is natural, so I guess it is not that weird?
