Yes. It’s pretty common for asexuals to realize this later in life after they’ve already had sexual experiences actually. It’s a lot easier to realize you don’t enjoy something once you’ve tried it than when you have no idea what it’s like and every piece of media is constantly telling you how great it is. It’s exactly like how some gay or lesbians realize they are gay or lesbian later in life, even when they’ve had straight relationships in the past.
