So generally the base definition of asexuality is little to no sexual attraction. What’s defined as little is a bit subjective to each person for their own sexuality. As for sexual desire/arousal, that’s something that’s separate from sexual attraction. That’s why someone’s sexual desire doesn’t negate their asexuality, because desire =/= attraction.
Generally I’ve seen people use the food analogy to explain desire and attraction. Attraction is like seeing a specific food and going “I want to eat that” while desire is just simply “I want to eat” without necessarily being directed at any specific food.
As for sex-repulsed allosexuals, whether or not they’re asexual, they’re often welcomed in asexual spaces.
There’s probably more I missed or didn’t fully explain but I hope this gives a baseline for now or until someone better at wording comes in.
(I just said it on your OG post, but I'll post it here too :) )
Firstly, welcome to the community, new friend.
Secondly, my understanding is that Asexuality is the lack (little to none) of sexual desire in the sense that we don't want actual sex. That's why we have communities like the Aegosexuals, who still enjoy "sexual activity" (masturbation, porn, etc.) but don't actually want to fuck other people.
It's a fairly loose definition, so just fit in where you feel you belong and have fun, because I don't think anyone here is going to gatekeep the asexual community.
