It's the uncertainty you seen to have, plus the apparent link to the trauma you experienced that may be of concern.

I do recall reading a reply to another post related to the topic of asexuality, written by a PC member who is knowledgeable on the subject. The replier wrote that it is common for asexual individuals to wonder about sex. Apparently it's not unusual for asexual persons to watch porn in an effort to gain some insight into the whole realm of sexuality. So perhaps what you're doing might, from that vantage point, be seen simply as your way of approaching or developing an understanding of sexuality? Clearly I don't know. I'm just guessing here.

i am seeing a therapist right now, actually. i haven't gathered the courage to mention this to her yet, but i plan to... eventually.
things are going really slow with her, but we're making some decent progress lately. (tho i don't get to see her as often as i'd like...)

i'm very off and on on actually considering myself an asexual? like. i guess i don't really have a desire for sex at all, so that fits the bill.
i guess the trauma factor makes me feel like maybe it's just a trauma thing and after i heal a bit from it, maybe i'd actually be interested.
but, idk, the more i think abt it, the more i just... don't like the idea of having sex.
i know part of it is the trauma, but i wonder how much of it is really that.

and that article really is kind of helpful actually, seeing that i'm not the only sex-repulsed person that actually looks into sexual things from time to time.
