View submission: Does trauma healing lead to asexuality ?

I think it may be more like: trauma healing leads one to discover their true sexuality (or asexuality, as it were)

I actually had the opposite experience. I believed I was asexual before healing, and as I went through the healing process I discovered my sexuality - for me it's demisexual.

Think about it this way - trauma can make people hypersexual, and as a person heals, that will go away. I also definitely think there can be a period where, once a person no longer feels the compulsion of hypersexuality, they may feel asexual for a period of time, as they get their bearings.

In short, I don't think this question has a clear, defined answer. This is something that will be different for everyone.
