... Or, at least, pretend that they understand what it is that I feel.
Scratch that.
I'd be fantastic if people didn't flat out make me feel like a walking freak show for my feelings. I dunno. I should probably elaborate.
_____________________
I have never felt physically attracted to people. EVER. It was something I used to try to hide when I was in highschool. I used to pretend to agree with my friends and freak out over the same band members and T.V. stars as them. But it was all always fake. In fact, I felt wrong for doing it.
I've never had any sexual drive of my own accord. I don't think about sex; I don't fantasize. I don't even wonder what things would be like.
I never did.

That's the base of it, anyway.
Now, that's not to say there aren't odd variants. I HAVE had sexual encounters that I've enjoyed. In fact, my boyfriend and I DO experiment often, and I experimented with a female friend during highschool.
However, I've never been the one to initiate it. It's always been the other persons' idea.
That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, or that I get taken advantage of. It's just that I literally never think about it until someone else does.
And I'm entirely content not to think about it after. I didn't think about it for years, and I could keep it that way and be so very happy.

Maybe it's all in my head.
But even if it is, it still doesn't make it fair that people make fun of me or taunt me or call me a prude or a liar, is it?
That's why I've always kept quiet about it.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't make me uncomfortable when people think I should just fall into their swing of wanting sex.
If they want it, awesome and I hope it's the best sex and it makes them feel great.
I literally don't want it, and I'm never trying to push it on anyone.
Maybe I come across that way?
I don't try to. I just want someone to understand, or at least accept, that I'm that way, now that I'm confident enough to be open about it, you know?
I guess, in a way, I'm just looking for someone who's willing to understand...
