Is This Normal?

When I read or hear about straight couples having premarital sex, it makes me feel nauseous. Does anyone else feel this way? Am I asexual or am I just a prude?

@raccooncutie30 I guess it can depend on a lot of things. The fact that you specified "premarital" might mean that you only see sex as something that should be done within marriage, which probably has to do with your upbringing: every community and every family has different views about sexuality and you might have inherited a "strict" perspective from your environment.
It guess it depends on what disturbs you: is it the act itself? The fact that doesn't happen within marriage? Or maybe the fact that it's a straight couple? Try to analyze the source of your feelings, but don't worry too much, as long as this feeling bother and affect your life too much there's nothing to worry about. Take your time to explore what it might mean.

I just feel like men and women shouldn’t see each other naked if they aren’t married unless it’s a medical emergency.

@raccooncutie30 @raccooncutie30 that's a personal preference that could be due to the education you received, religious or moral reasons, or much more. It doesn't necessarily mean you're asexual, maybe you just give sex a different meaning, and it's ok. Everyone is free to interpret sex however they want. If the thought of sex disturbs you even within an established relationship or marriage, then you might question if there's some kind of aversion to sex itself rather than it's context.

@raccooncutie30 oh, sorry I didn't get that from the first message. I interpreted that as if you were still questioning and trying to figure out whether you are asexual or not.

@Aayla Well I don’t know what else I would be.
