The "I'm proud to be Asexual/Demisexual" Thread

Tis good to be proud!
I wouldn't say I'm "proud" of it (no one should be directly proud of who they have sex with); but I'm a homo-romantic, semi-asexual who vastly prefers cuddling or foreplay over actual sex and would rather read a good book.

I think I'm probably asexual but I don't see a reason to be proud about it. I didn't overcome or achieve anything to become asexual so what is there to be proud of?

I'm not really 'proud' of it, but I am asexual.
I figured..I am 50, female, divorced...
I've fallen in love, been married, had kids, got divorced...been there, done all that, got t-shirt...
I divorced at 40, and back then, I probably would have said 'yeah, I'm up for it, I could have another man in my life and maybe have a relationship'. Now, at 50, that whole idea is dead in the water.
I tried dating a few times after I got divorced and that was a huge disaster...
So, I have been celibate for a very long time now (and not by choice)...I'm not the prettiest picture on the wall and my personality kinda sucks (for other people, not I). lol
I seriously doubt I will ever fall in love again or have another relationship...even casually.
After so long, I have developed my own sense of total independence, stubborness and freedom. I don't have to justify my whereabouts or whatabouts to nobody and I like it that way.
I know many will disagree here (this is what I feel), but I am getting pretty much 'over the hill' for those kinds of carry-on anyway. I don't care what others will say, this is how I personally feel and nothing can change that (*see stubborn if you missed it the first time).
Thus, I am asexual and I don't really care about sex anymore.
*although some also tell me that's part of my problem, when all I seriously need is a good.....
You get the picture.

I've definitely become less interested in sex as I've got older. But could I check what people mean by "demi-sexual"? Does it just mean not that interested, as opposed to not interested at all?

I imagine that must be an annoying thing to hear?
