>> I like this definition. It matches a lot of what I feel.<<
Yay! I'm glad I could help.
You might also consider mehsexual, which some aces use for people who are not sex-repulsed (also called ewwsexual) but don't find it very interesting either. It's just ... sort of okay. Maybe even nice sometimes, but not exciting the way it is for most sexual people.
>> I often have those difficulties. <<
That's why I say that, if allosexual people are bugging you for not having enough sex or it otherwise raises issues in your life that they don't have, you're probably somewhere on the ace spectrum.
>> I'm not sure I've really met enough acespec people to know how my experiences match up. <<
There are clusters, but also a lot of people whose experiences are not close to other people's experiences. It's all fine.
Do keep an eye on my audience, though; I have a substantial number of ace fans.
>>And sometimes I forget that those feelings are valid, and that I can be all those things, without falsely using the term asexual.<<
This is why some people find labels helpful, to distinguish among different places on a spectrum.
