I am so confused about my sexuality. I am attracted to men and some women but when I think of sex personally I am revolted the thought of doing something. Has anyone else felt this way?

Yes you are so not alone! You may be asexual or demisexual. But only you can know for sure. Labels don't work for everyone so don't worry if you don't feel like either but have a read about the definitions of both and if you feel one applies to you then that's great!

If your attraction is of emotional/romantic kind, and maybe even of aesthetic kind, but not sexual, it might mean that your romantic and sexual orientations diverge. If you don't experience sexual attraction towards anyone and you're not interested in having sex with anyone, it sounds like you are asexual. And if your attraction is personal rather than sexual, and it can involve men or women, then it sounds like you could be biromantic.

For me, I think this stems from being sexually abused as a child and all throughout my young adult life. I’m not interested in Pursuing women and I am attracted to men too but I can never climax when having intercourse with men. Or even just thinking about it, turns me off. So what’s helped me is healing from my sexual traumas. Re-exploring my body myself with no pressure. Exploring myself next to my partner. And also doing stuff with my partner up to the point where I don’t feel like I’m into it anymore then stopping. Normally I would continue but that only makes things worse.
