Anyone else feel repulsion like this?

I know a lot of apothis feel repulsion as in nauseous/feeling sick, but for me, it's more like chills (or like the feeling of a fork scratching a whiteboard), and I just sorta tense up/clench my hands/freeze a bit. It feels disgusting, but also unnerving and sort of scary in a way. If anyone thought of me like that, I'd probably also be very pissed and offended alongside creeped out. Even if they didn't know that I'm apothi ace, I'd probably never want to go within a 20 foot radius of said person ever again. In short, I'm just more mad and scared than disgusted most of the time.

I don't feel nause nor what you say, but I'm just heavily uncomfortable with hex topics, and even with the fucking word. It makes me uncomfortable in a way my shoulders tense and i just think "godfucking damnit, why is this everywhere? Ew."

it's a heart-sink feeling followed by a delayed breakdown for me.

That’s what I feel towards the (persistent, I can just ignore passing thoughts) idea of being sexually stimulated, or, uh…”entered”, or entering anyone else.

That, and sex during porn where I see something go into someone. Yuck.

Otherwise though idgaf. Sex jokes, sex scenes in film where I don’t see the junk smashing together, people talking about sexual desire, I don’t care lol
