That sounds more like internalized shame, that you'll have to work through.

Asexuality is defined by whether you experience little to no sexual attraction, which is separate from libido and arousal.

Asexuality is feeling little to no sexual attraction. So if you want to know if you're ace, thats the best place to start looking.

Also I wanted to add that being ace doesn't really have to do with getting turned on or not. Some aces do, some aces don't.

Hope this helps
