LGBTAitp - Part Thirteen

[Anethiel]

Breaking news from Italy: on April 1st, for the first time a same-sex couple (Francesco Zanardi and Manuel Incorvaia) obtained a unified family status, effectively making them the first Italian gay family ever.
While Italy has no legislation on the matter of same-sex unions, there is also no legislation disallowing them; for this reason Zanardi & Incorvaia, together with about 35 other couples, have, in the course of several years, appealed to a number of Italian courts creating legal precedents for allowing (hopefully) same-sex unions, even in the form of full-on civil marriage.

ION: I have a question for asexual playgrounders.

Spoiler

Show

All my life I had very little interest in romantic relations and intercourse with other people. I always had, though, a strong obsession for "getting a partner", which was mostly based in societal/peer pressure.
After satisfying this obsession by having a boyfriend, my limited interest in love & sex plummeted, and now I really can't figure out why should I engage in the pursuit of such things. (As a consequence of this, I broke up with my boyfriend).
The question is: is this "just a phase", or may I actually be asexual, or at least have a strong asexual component? I'm sorry if this comes out as offensive or inappropriate, but I know practically nothing about asexuality and I'm very confused about the way I currently feel...
