I'm a person that gags at the sight of a breast or a penis. I called myself asexual when I heard about the term, but it's difficult.

Some people don't believe it. Now normally I wouldn't give a crap, but one of those people is my dad. It's just frustraiting to hear "God doesn't make us that way" coming from my father who is often understanding about things like this.

I wish I wasn't asexual, that way I wouldn't have to cover my eyes around nude pictures, or gag around Greek sculptures. I wish I knew how to get over this.

There's nothing wrong with being asexual. Often times it's just a phase, but it comes down to more of you accepting who you are. Just because your dad doesn't agree with it means that something is wrong with you you're still the same person. I remember once when my ex girlfriend broke up with me a few years ago I completely lost interest in men and women, even though it only lasted for a few months. But like I said, there is nothing wrong with you

Thanks for that.

While not as extreme as you I can understand what you're going through. I feel no sexual attraction, but have romantic feelings still. When I married my husband I was told on an internet forum (my sexuality or lack thereof happened to come up) that I had no right to do so.
So I'm here to say there isn't anything wrong with being asexual, just as there isn't anything wrong with any other kind of orientation. It is legitimate, it does happen, and as far as religion is concerned most holy scripts say that God made all of us. And that means all of us as we are.

I don't think there is anything wrong with being asexual. I would like to share that I thought I was asexual for the longest time until I went to see a therapist to deal with issues of abuse. It can be hard to see other people in relationships and wonder why you don't seem interested. If you are happy as you are, then there is nothing wrong.

I am again facing divorce now because of my own aversion to s*x.

I am finding that I feel better about simply being romantic or emotional and not s**ual.

I am not sure I want to label myself "asexual" because I still have the desire, but I don't have any desire to act on it anymore.

I see it now as just something left over from our evolution.
