/u/kuroikururo on Just remembered that Athena, goddess of wisdom and battlefield tactics, was an asexual goddess with no interest in romantic attachment. Just thought I'd share that.

/u/Dontbeasourlemon on I saw this ad on snapchat and this website is having a sale. Flags are free

Has anyone bought from them before I have run into place where you pay shipping for your free item and they take your money and ghost June 18, 2020 at 12:02AM

/u/KatyFischlein on I made a biromantic asexual flag with a chain pull for pride month :)

/u/roxyh811 on How much sexual attraction is "normal"? At which point is it "rare"?

There’s a lot more dispute on that since she was usually surrounded by naked, female nymphs, but she was definitely not attracted to dudes. June 17, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/rosa_sinensis on I'm not sure if I'm demisexual?

Oh aesthetic attraction clears up attraction to how people look. I've definitely experienced the second. I think I have also experienced sexual attraction as well, if liking cuddles/kisses and possibly wanting something more counts. Thank you for the clarifications! June 17, 2020 at 11:55PM

Also I hate when people say how much easier being an asexual is. Like I would rather be like everyone else and not though of as a prude or freak when people find out I haven't had sex and I dont really want to. Or all the times I go on dates but kill the relationship because I am afraid of the sexual pressures and expectations people have of me. Being told I am not valid and questioned it's hard being Ace... June 17, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/_tortellinii_ on I got one 🙂

I actually had some anxiety about my nails in this photo because I was backpacking all weekend and they're a bit rough 😅 I'm by no means a girly girl but for my job I like to keep them clean/kempt June 17, 2020 at 11:52PM

Had to live with an aphobic roommate my first semester of college. There's a very good reason that I now try to live in single dorms and it's because she and my previous rooming arrangement ruined the idea of a roommate/s I don't know. June 17, 2020 at 11:52PM

/u/ArisKey on I'm not sure if I'm demisexual?

Liking how someone looks is aesthetic attraction. Wanting to touch someone is sensual attraction. Wanting to touch someone sexually is sexual attraction. You might be experiencing one or more of these attractions. June 17, 2020 at 11:51PM

I have heard almost all of these it makes you feel real confused when you come out and everyone says naw your wrong. June 17, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/purplehippotato on Aphobia (It Exists)

I've been really depressed about this lately because I want a famy and happiness, but nowadays the world puts a huge emphasis on a healthy sex life, and so everyone strives to get there in their relationship. Being an ace seeking that family setting, even not sex-averse (just disinterested) in this climate, feels like you're broken and useless. However, I am definitely grateful that there isn't actual hatred towards the ace community. I would rather be dismissed than have slurs hurled at me, I think. June 17, 2020 at 11:50PM

/u/its-murph-or-nothin on Gonna bake some sugar cookies tonight!

/u/onyxonix on (OC) Happy pride, guys! Let's hope the rep will improve in future years :)

Mr. Clean is ace? Literally been thinking about how, uh, sexual his commercials are for like a week. Edit: Googled it. I was very pleased with the answer and scream texted it to my ace friend. June 17, 2020 at 11:45PM

/u/Tallinette on I might need a bit of emotional support...

It's okay. Being able to talk about it made it better. June 17, 2020 at 11:43PM

/u/best-boy-behemo on Like seriously wtf, under a post talking about how SpongeBob is ace

Oof, you’re probably gonna get downvoted by angry transphobic and/or JKR fans. June 17, 2020 at 11:36PM

Are some marriages destined to last for a lifetime? And others...not so much?

I love my husband. I respect and admire him. We have a beautiful family and life together. If you had asked me 10-20-25 years ago, there was literally no one on earth I would rather grow old with than my husband. I think we were probably one of those couples who made other, more realistic couples, secretly barf behind closed doors. Thinking about us then, I want to barf now... Somewhere along the line, something changed. Big time. To the point where I cannot imagine growing old with this person. I am devastated. I cry all the time. I spend hours calculating how long until my kids and pets will all be gone and I will truly be alone and miserable. Yeah we have a pretty much dead bedroom despite two tries at sex therapy. We have sex once or twice a month. He isn't all that enthusiastic about oral, and never lasts more than 60-90 seconds PiV. I never orgasm. Doesn't generate much enthusiasm on my part for the next time. I own that I have been complicit in letting things get to
