Thanks for the detailed response, it's definitely given me some things to think about. I guess the best way to describe it is that when I see someone who presses the right physical attractiveness buttons for me, I still get some less-than-pure thoughts. It's just that the specific act of having sex with that person isn't ever on that list, even when it's totally on the table.
It's mostly that I still have that drive to do other things to satisfy my libido that the asexual label never really clicked in the past. Maybe it still doesn't fit. But definitely good to think about that stuff once in a while.
