/u/yepsandneps on Anyone remember that episode of House about asexuals?
Oh wow, I had forgotten about this... I saw that episode before I found out I was ace. And I remember thinking that the episode seemed weirdly cruel to have been written that way. That despite there being a term for it, asexuality, that a "tumor" was making the character ace. It left a sour taste in my mouth, and I felt disappointed afterward but shrugged it off thinking "I guess that's how it is then". I was disappointed because I thought they were going to answer something for me that I didn't know at the time - could there be people happily together who don't have sex? And they said, "no" and back then I was kind of sad to hear that answer. And... yeah... now I know why I was sad. November 10, 2019 at 12:22AM
