/u/AnonyASD on "But I want grandchildren!"

My parents finally gave up. I guess my sister incubating their second granchild, and me telling them I'm not their son, but their firstborn daughter, may have something to do with that. Still as ace as ever though. June 29, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/ZephieVen on I just wanna have a family so bad

Yes! We should just form our own family made up of mostly aces. June 29, 2020 at 11:54PM

Not at all!! I really want a setup like this too, it would be absolutely wonderful. Like, can everyone who replied to this just come join a little family with me please :P June 29, 2020 at 11:53PM

/u/Cashew_box on my male friends think im casually flirting with them

Legit. I have limited myself to two settings - #1) I find you interesting and I realize you and everyone else may think that means I want to have sex with you but that's a risk I'll take to talk to you I guess and #2) I don't talk to you. Because I just don't get the nuances in #1. So when I notice #1 is going off the rails somehow I go to #2. June 29, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/eravyn on I just wanna have a family so bad

Yeah, if there isn't some level of romantic attraction, I think you'd need a lot more extra space to make a home like that work without killing each other. June 29, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/ReeceJonOsborne on [Spoiler] According to aphobes, we're just "woke incels" or trying to be in "the LBGT Club" or something.

Reading through the comments and they're all saying the usual aphobic talking points. Things about how we don't exist, have a biological or mental disorder, "the woke left has made too many labels", and so on. June 29, 2020 at 11:46PM

/u/kiwi_cactus on Asexuals be like

Oh I love that kpop ace meme! June 29, 2020 at 11:46PM

/u/eravyn on What do you think about childhood trauma contributing towards asexuality?

You said you think your parents' incompetence stunted you. My family is very closed off emotionally, I only ever saw my parents kiss if my mom was teasing my dad the way kids do (like "ew, gross, cooties" level stuff), no one but my grandma says I love you, hugs are rare and forced, etc. I sometimes wonder if that affected me. But it didn't affect my sister, and a lot of kids I grew up with had the same kind of home life and ended up more sexually active because of it, not less. In the end, your experiences shape you, but nature overrides all of that. If your brain wants sex, you'd know it. June 29, 2020 at 11:45PM

/u/plantbasedp0thead on doodle during zoom class bc I'm on my period :(

I'm childfree, neutrois, AND grey asexual. I'm also pretty sure I'm mostly/completely infertile due to my health (PCOS and God knows what else). I literally have no need or want for a uterus or ovaries, they only cause me pain (psychological and physical) June 29, 2020 at 11:39PM

/u/ZephieVen on I just wanna have a family so bad

Man, I wish I had friends I could handle living with first. June 29, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/ZephieVen on I just wanna have a family so bad

Yeah, my friends want to move in with me, but they're toxic af, so I wouldn't be able to handle them daily. June 29, 2020 at 11:34PM

/u/eravyn on I just wanna have a family so bad

My friends and I used to joke around with this idea back in our early teens. It wasn't really a joke to me though. June 29, 2020 at 11:33PM

/u/eravyn on How do you guys feel about allos using ace dating platforms?

It also works for sex-positive ace people. June 29, 2020 at 11:29PM

/u/Kimmberlias on doodle during zoom class bc I'm on my period :(

I take birth control pills, and over the past year and a bit have been taking it continuously (with Drs orders) so I don't get a period. It's such a blessing. June 29, 2020 at 11:27PM

/u/bgb16999 on Shippers[x-post]

I do not think I have ever shipped characters romantically, but I sometimes QPR-ship. June 29, 2020 at 11:26PM

/u/Marsupial_546 on Watch "Straight Up" on Netflix right now for beautiful Ace representation

/u/PiranhaPlantFan on I just wanna have a family so bad

Oh i wish this so bad. I wish i could just live together with my best friends this way :( June 29, 2020 at 11:19PM

/u/lavenderbug on If representation makes you happy, look at this¡¡

I was pretty happy to see this scene but a bit disappointed with the character's description of sex. Although her approach might seem accurate to some aces, to me it's more like the feast is made up of foods I just don't like. I am sex-positive but I'm just not attracted to anyone.

/u/Moxie_Cillin on If representation makes you happy, look at this¡¡

30/M--been dating a 28/F and having a bunch of mixed feelings about the situation

Technically not "over thirty", but I figured I'm close and would get slightly more mature advice here. ​ The situation is: she's only a month and a half out of a long-term relationship (where she did the breaking up and says she's not "hurting" from it), and I'm catching feelings for her and want to start veering towards a relationship (or at least exclusivity) with her. I don't know if she's talking to/seeing/sleeping with other guys, and we haven't had the "feelings" or exclusivity talk either. We've been seeing each other from pretty soon after she broke up with her previous boyfriend, have had about 10-12 dates/hangouts or whatever you want to call them, and have also been sleeping with each other without protection (but she is on birth control). I hate power games in relationships, but I know they exist, and feel like if I'M the one who brings up feelings and exclusivity I'm going to put myself at a huge powe...
