While yeah, things can change over time, a lot of things stay relatively constant…
A very straight man will likely never be attracted to another man. A very gay man will likely never be attracted to another woman. A bisexual man can be attracted to both. A very asexual man will likely never be attracted to either men or women.
I get that sexuality has nuance and what I wrote sounds like an oversimplification, but that’s really the jist. People on the internet have a tendency to excessively label every facet of their personality, which isn’t necessarily useful, as you’ve pointed out.
I’m also on the asexual side of things. It’s not something that has changed throughout my life. I don’t take any medications either, so it’s not medication induced. I have literally always been this way. I’m 30, so I’m way beyond where I would have felt any different at this point.
I choose to identify somewhat with asexuality because it was confusing as hell growing up and realizing people all want sex but I don’t have that desire or instinct. It’s odd to be different than 99% of the planet that way. Sometimes it seems like I’m missing some sort of minor sense like smell (I can smell, I’m just trying to draw a comparison).
However, I’ve always been curious to know what sort of an effect something like MDMA could have on me.
