Asexuality Spectrum Test

Lack of Sexual Attraction: Asexuality is typically characterized by a lack of sexual attraction to other people. This can manifest as an absence of sexual fantasies, a lack of desire to engage in sexual activity, or an aversion to sexual behavior.

Lack of Romantic Attraction: Refers to a person's experience of not feeling romantically attracted to others. This is distinct from a lack of sexual attraction, which refers to not feeling sexually attracted to others. In the context of asexuality, a lack of romantic attraction is one of the factors that can contribute to an individual identifying as asexual.

Absent Libido: Refers to an absent or low level of sexual interest. Libido is often used interchangeably with sexual desire, and it refers to the drive or motivation to engage in sexual activity. For some asexual individuals, the absence of libido may be a defining feature of their asexuality.

Aversion to Sexual Behavior: Some asexual individuals experience a strong aversion to sexual behavior, even if they experience emotional or romantic attraction to others. This can manifest as feelings of disgust or discomfort when engaging in sexual activity or a desire to avoid sexual behavior altogether.

Trauma: Experiencing sexual trauma can contribute to the development of asexuality. It can also occur if an individual experiences trauma that is not directly related to sexuality but impacts their ability to form connections with others or feel safe in close relationships. It is important to note that not all asexual individuals have experienced trauma and that trauma does not necessarily cause asexuality.

Estrangement from Sexual Culture: Some asexual individuals feel out of place in our sexualized culture and may have difficulty finding their peace with the way sexuality is portrayed and approached in our society.
