Micro labels n stuff

[night crest]

I’ve considered myself bi/pan and ace for a bit but I’m starting to realize I might not be completely asexual.

For some reason the idea of being intimate with a guy is not appealing to me but being intimate with a girl is.

I am still a teenager so part of me feels kinda gross thinking about this so should I just save it for later when it’s more appropriate for me to have those thoughts?

Regardless I’m curious if there’s a label for something like that

I can relate so bad I also like all genders but I’ve had experience of being semi intimate with a guy and i just don’t feel as comfortable as being with a girl (I’ve never had romantic interactions with a girl yet ITS SO HARD) anyway that might be bi with a preference? Or omni? I’m not sure! I’m a teenager too so I’m also just learning these terms

well, the question is, do you feel sexual attraction towards anyone? or do you just like the idea of being intimate?

the quick answer i have from what you’ve stated so far is androromantic gynesexual (there are also other labels that fit the same description, like maromantic womasexual, minromantic finsexual, etc. you can mix and match with any of these)

also, for your question about “still being a teenager”: teenagers start to reach sexual maturity and i have met teenagers who feel sexual attraction, so i’d say it’s not too early to think about this stuff. (but it’s okay if you feel grossed out about this, i do too as an ace teen :P)

You can be completely asexual and still want to have that type of intimacy. It's about attraction, not desire to have intimacy or having intimacy. Do you feel a desire or craving upon looking at someone? Or do you just think maybe some intimacy could be nice?

There are plenty of asexuals who have the desire to have intimacy like that, but they don't have that desire upon looking at someone else. As my demisexual partner described how that attraction felt: it's like craving someone. If you don't feel those sorts of feelings ever, you're fully ace
