When was the first time you acknowledged or at least recognised your asexuality?
Probably about a year or a year and a half ago, maybe? It's not really something that would come up a lot because unlike homosexuality or bisexuality (or really anything else outside the hetero "norm") it was an absence of attraction, rather than attraction to something or someone I wouldn't have expected happening.

There were little things, though, like friends talking about their girlfriends and getting laid and I really couldn't relate at all. I actually did consider whether I was gay or bi or something once I recognized that going so long without a girlfriend wasn't considered "normal" to most people I know, but that thought was just as unappealing as being straight.

I'm not "out" if that's a thing for Aces, but I don't really give a shit if anyone knows (they probably do already, or at least suspect).

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

That sounds like a lot like how I was until I fell in love. Even then, when I did fall in love it felt like it had nothing to do with physical attraction. It wasn't until I became really committed that things changed and I started having physical desires....really for the first time in my life, which was at age 18.

Supposedly as far as labels go, that makes me demisexual.
