/u/Britoz on Thank you to the user who came to bat for me against this aphobic comment on a post in relationship advice about an adult woman who recently discovered her asexuality, something I relate to very much. This was my first personal experience with aphobia. We are valid and we are not broken.

Can you imagine introducing yourself as female and someone saying "but have you had your hormones checked?". They didn't say being female was a problem. They didn't ask your opinion. They just told you basic information about themselves. Now imagine you get asked about your hormones every.single.time you introduce yourself. Especially in something as vulnerable and personal as being asexual. August 14, 2020 at 12:03AM

/u/stelliferous7 on Genuine question.

So would you say you have gyno attraction with aesthetic platonic and sensual stuff if you don't mind me asking? August 14, 2020 at 12:00AM

I totally understand where your coming from. I had the same though process when i initially identified as ace. August 13, 2020 at 11:59PM

I had the same reasoning when i finally realised i was ace. I decided to do full bloodwork to see if i was not low on my sex hormones or something. Turns out i was 100% fine and was really just not interested in sex. I can understand the persons reasoning. But to call this aphobia might be pushing it a little. August 13, 2020 at 11:56PM

/u/GrimmSheeper on My asexual ass related to this

As a more sex neutral, or even slightly sex positive, ace, it depends on the specifics of the conversation. If it’s personal views, I can at least contribute with aesthetic attraction. If it’s regarding experience, I’ve got nothing and really don’t even try to participate. If it’s about kinks/fetishes, I can actually contribute a fair bit. For whatever reason, I’m fairly knowledgeable on them despite having absolutely zero interest in them. And if it’s sexual jokes, I have absolutely no problem with them and can even be the one initiating. With all of the euphemisms, it’s an absolute gold mine for wordplay. August 13, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/Uppity_Python on Is anyone else sometimes attracted to fictional characters but real people just don't do anything for you at all?

/u/love_nashi on Hey biromantic aces: Does romantic attraction to different genders feel different for you? What are the differences?

Wow! That’s exactly how I feel too!! Except for me, I don’t get crushes very often and my crushes on girls stay for like 6-9 months I would say but for guys it gets less intense after maybe 3 months. August 13, 2020 at 11:52PM

/u/16372731772 on I found a list for everyone who keeps complaining about unnecessary sex scenes in movies

Me too, I can 100% recommend it to everyone. Honestly just watch all of Edgar Wright, I can't think of a single movie he has made that I would call bad. August 13, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/roxyh811 on demiromantic question :)

i’m not aromantic (at least not to my knowledge) but most of the time i hate romance in media or between other people for some reason. When it’s between me and my boyfriend, it’s great! But when i see it in stories or people out in public it just seems so unnecessary and gross. (less gross with people out in public but i can’t stand it in media) Maybe i am on the aromantic spectrum, who knows but i totally understand where you’re coming from! :) August 13, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/HazelTF on Genuine question.

AAAAA! THIS is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Lately I've been feeling a lot of instances of aesthetic attraction towards women and nonbinary peeps. Previously I was "into" males and masc. trans people. I don't know why it switched. August 13, 2020 at 11:48PM

/u/PrisMattias on My asexual ass related to this

Yeah, if the situation's pretty calm I do that too. It's pretty weird, because they don't know I'm aroace, so they must be as confused as me in those moments, ahah August 13, 2020 at 11:44PM

/u/SippinWineWithCacti on Will I ever be someones priority?

Legit. I wouldn't say my love language is gift gifting in general, but when people buy me little trinkets randomly that they just say reminded them of me? Literally the best thing ever. Like, I just occurred to you? You just thought of me without prompting? Mind blowing. August 13, 2020 at 11:44PM

/u/Marsupial_546 on How long have you identified as being on the asexual spectrum?

I realised i was AroAce 6 months ago. Coincidentally it was around the start of Aromantic spectrum awareness week August 13, 2020 at 11:42PM

Curious about tradition

People who didn't do a traditional wedding or a celebration, did you or your spouse regret it later? How did your families/parents react? Was there drama, or did things turn out better than expected?

Red flags or am I overreacting?

She's 29 and I'm 30. Dating for 3 months and officially exclusive for 2-3 weeks. This week she's either shown me some SERIOUS red flags, or I'm overreacting. 1.) We had a date night scheduled for friday, which we set up last sunday. Yesterday she cancelled and asked to reschedule for saturday. This was fine, but she didn't tell me why she needed to reschedule, and when I said "yeah that's fine. everything cool?" She responded saying she "forgot" that she had told her sister she would babysit for her friday. This is already a little bit sketchy to me, but on top of that, this is a woman who TOLD ME she writes everything down on her calendar. So she really forgot completely AND didn't see it on her calendar from sunday all the way to wednesday? Not impossible, but seemed unlikely to me. 2.) After the rescheduling yesterday, she sent me a snap a couple hours later. I responded to the snap saying something that (I thought) was funny, an
