/u/Tea_is_despicable on Advice on writing an asexual character.

Usual misconceptions about aces: Ace people are too ugly to date so they say they choose to be ace to make themselves more comfortable Ace people have to suffer trauma otherwise no sane person would avoid sex (some suffer but not everyone) Ace people are 100% sex repulsive (the person is not the experience but the attraction, while some are sex repulsive some aren't) Ace people don't feel romantic attraction (that's called aromantic people, while some are indeed aroace some are not) Asexuality is just a phase, they haven't found the right person (asexuality is not a phase and even if they do feel sexually attracted to the right person that makes them demi, which is still in the ace umbrella) Asexuals are sex repulsive (this one is actually true for a lot of aces but there are aces that aren't sex repulsive) Most of the interests of aces include (but are neither exclusive nor obligatory): Cake Dragons Garlic bread Purple Cuddling Symbols of asexuality: Bla...

/u/seeyat on For Aces who like cuddles,

You get to make more, friend. You get to. :-p August 11, 2020 at 12:00AM

/u/SuperTastyMango on What's your experience of dating a sexual-oriented person?

My first partner I told when asked about sex I told them I viewed it for reproductive use (I'm homoromantic) so I didn't see a point in having it ever, they said it was fine and broke up with me a week later because I didn't love them because I didn't want sex. Most recent partner told them from day one when we met online that I was asexual and they were fine with it, 2 years later they were not okay with it they also equated sex with love. Why does everyone think sex is the same this as love? I will never know. August 10, 2020 at 11:59PM

/u/AHandfulMore on How did you come out?

People were talking about Tim Gunn at work and I off handedly mentioned I was asexual as well. August 10, 2020 at 11:57PM

/u/Kovitlac on I didn't realize I was an incel until now /s

They love to claim that women can't be incels (even though it was a woman who coined the term). But there are women asexuals. Soooooo...yeah. August 10, 2020 at 11:57PM

/u/beter-griffin on Is it normal to be questioning my asexuality?

I also sometimes got this feeling. It's really nice knowing that I'm not alone in this. I'm really happy being asexual. I just feel like I belong here. It gives me something to grasp onto when everything else seems so unstable. August 10, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/Tea_is_despicable on Kinda told My mom Im asexual...

Not f so I don't know if I can really help you but I understand you. "She didn’t really understand and told me how am I supposed to find a guy who would love me if I didn’t have sex with him." You can enjoy the experience without enjoying it; You can reach a mutual agreement about sex; You can find another ace; You can also be demi and not know because you're not in a relation. Usually, people stay with those who make them comfortable, when she asks you how you're supposed to find someone you tell her that you'll do it by being yourself and finding someone who likes you being yourself. "I want to get married in the future." Marriage is about being in love so much with the person you even bring the church or the state to confirm it, it's not a sex contract. "Does anyone else think of their future like this and feel little hope (even though I know there is)?" Think about yourself for a moment, before you knew you were asexual what did...

/u/TeebsAce on Guess what I realised I was🕺

You realized you were [deleted]? August 10, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/_Affectionate_Panic_ on For Aces who like cuddles,

Well, I was just messing around with filters and stuff on a new app, so I didn't even remember. And then my posts blew up and I went "Aw.... Damn now I gotta make more..." 😂 August 10, 2020 at 11:40PM

/u/a-really-big-muffin on This makes me so mad

Lol I love how you rank yourself just high enough that you're above average but not so high you sound like a snob. XD It's the happy medium. August 10, 2020 at 11:34PM

/u/Tea_is_despicable on How did you come out?

I told my mom and my dad I was asexual and they said ok. Sometimes my dad still thinks it's a phase (which may or may not be I don't know the future). August 10, 2020 at 11:32PM

/u/_Affectionate_Panic_ on Anyone want cake?

Thy will be done. August 10, 2020 at 11:32PM

/u/acethefinalfrontier on So relatable

All of that is so true. And when I don't feel like busting out the PowerPoint & podium then clearly I just said it for attention & it isn't a real thing. August 10, 2020 at 11:24PM

/u/livipup on I didn't realize I was an incel until now /s

Damn, didn't know I could still be an incel with all the sex I've had or turned down. What a joyous day :) August 10, 2020 at 11:23PM

/u/InsaltedPretzel on I didn't realize I was an incel until now /s

I definitely agree, but if we do share aphobia, it should be in a this-gave-me-a-good-belly-laugh-look-at-this-idiot way. August 10, 2020 at 11:17PM

/u/pikipata on What does the fox say?

Haha yeah it's been on mental playback for me for a few days now lol. August 10, 2020 at 11:14PM

/u/pikipata on So this just happened

Oh I see. August 10, 2020 at 11:13PM

/u/between3and20sretcar on How did you come out?

Being outed sucks. I guess some people just don’t understand how meaningful it is to find out who you are and be able to share yourself personally. I’m so sorry that happened. The part about your friends is super cool though and a really cute idea!! :) August 10, 2020 at 11:12PM

/u/-_Lucyfer_- on Aces are valid!

A well-known, two-person manga recently got cancelled cause the writer was arrested for molestation, and of course, niceguys have an opinion about this

Thank god for my husband
