adexsexuality and feeling invalid

reposting this cause reddit doesn't let me see the post i made before.

TW: NSFW, talk of sexting and sending nudes

i'm ashamed even writing this but i really need to talk to someone about it, so please keep an open mind.

i've known i was in the ace spectrum for years, i identified as just asexual for most of that time, then i switched labels to greysexual and aego even though i wasn't really sure, but pretty recently i figured out i'm actually adexsexual

this is the definition if you don't know:

^(Adexsexual is an ace-spec microlabel that describes an individual who does not experience sexual attraction towards real or specific individuals and typically do not desire to engage in any partnered sexual activities in real life, but does experience arousal and/or sexual desire in response to sexual fantasies and/or sexual content such as porn or erotica, but only when one is not focusing on any other specific individuals. Focus is instead on oneself and the imagined sensations of the sexual act. The presence of real individuals in general or overly specific individuals in the imagination disrupts the imagination, resulting in a loss of sexual desire and/or arousal unless one dissociates and somehow manages to ignore the presence of the real individual.)

this label actually feels like me. but the thing is... i have been sexting and sending pics with some women (in a context where we're anonymous ofc) and i actually enjoy it, i do always tell them to not send me pics of their own though. i say it like it's just a preference, but honestly i don't want to see them because it makes me uncomfortable and sucks the sexual desire out of me, because SEEING them doesn't sexually arouse me, it's the fantasy of what we text to each other and the being desired that i like.

i've never heard of another person in the ace spectrum having a similar experience and i feel invalid in my identity, like i don't deserve to say that i'm in the asexual spectrum for engaging in these activies. it's like i feel too "allo" for being asexual and too ace for being allo. plus i feel really guilty in general for sharing pics of myself.

i know this isn't that relevant to this subreddit, but i really needed to get this out and have a bit of support and the adexsexual subreddit hasn't accepted my request to post.

thank you for reading.

summerween lesbian books on KU?

i'm really in the mood to read a summerween wlw/nblw book, like an horror that takes place during the summer. i really loved the "Honeybloods" trilogy by I.S. Belle last year if that helps (only the first book takes place during summer but still). i'd prefer something on kindle unlimited cause i can't buy new books for a little while
