/u/daedric_lightweaver on I’ve always believed sex-positive/neutral aces are valid, what are your guys’ thoughts on this?

Omg yes! That's me! If you don't mind me asking, what do you identify as among the different asexual types? The certain situations for me is some pictures in my mind. When I was with someone, I just zoned out completely, focusing on the picture instead of the person who was there.. And the "when I'm horny" part is so accurate.. I've found myself jarred by how differently I think about sex when I'm horny and when I'm not.. It's so confusing August 26, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/EJSuperstar on Any others who were tomboys as kids?

I was pretty tomboyish when I was younger, most of my friends were guys, I hated dresses etc. I'm fine with being called a girl though. August 26, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/idk_just_me_ on Husband just came out as asexual

I came out as asexual to my fiance about a year ago, and he was amazing about it, never making me feel bad for the lack of sex in our relationship. Every few months I keep asking him if he's going nuts without it and is he still okay with it, and every time he assures me that he's perfectly happy. Oddly enough, since we stopped having sex, our relationship has been just as strong, maybe even stronger because the tension surrounding sex is gone. My fiance told me he gets more fulfillment from the relationship knowing that i'm comfortable and being myself, rather than trying to have sex with someone who is clearly not enjoying it. I think if you're with the right person, sex doesn't have to be a big part of a relationship and the connection you share is so strong, you don't even think about it. I do, however, think it's rare to come across! Your husband is so lucky that you are so accepting :) TLDR; it's totally normal with the right person :) Augu

And if your friend actually wants to learn, I can explain to them why you don’t hear much about older aces. It’s only been about 20 years since asexuals started any kind of effective educational or informational campaigns. For us older aces, 20 years wasn’t that long ago. I was in my 40s before I first heard of it. I always was ace, I just didn’t know anyone else was, and I didn’t know there was a name for it. Most aces my age are in the closet so deeply they don’t even know there is a closet. They think if they say anything people will think they’re crazy and broken. Educate older people about asexuality, and we’ll start popping up all over the place. August 26, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/Amaevise on I’ve always believed sex-positive/neutral aces are valid, what are your guys’ thoughts on this?

I understand how it came about. It's a measure of masculinity that society and porn has enforced. I know some women enjoy it because they enjoy the feeling of the penis hitting the cervix, but I know a lot of women also don't enjoy that feeling. Just as there are a gazillion different things women like there are a gazillion different penis shapes and sizes women or gay men prefer. Such a stupid measure of masculinity.

/u/fumblebucket on Really hope nobody can relate

I've put less than zero effort into my appearance. I wear oversized clothing. There are very specific garments that are slightly more fitting or defining to my figure. I always get a ton of uncomfortable comments any time I wear them. Those garments go to the back of my closet and don't come back out until I'm desperate again(off site laundry during a pandemic is a bitch) August 26, 2020 at 11:40PM

So, I’m 62. It’s not a phase. By this point your friend is just being willfully ignorant. August 26, 2020 at 11:37PM

I didn't mean to be offensive like that at all, but I guess it was enough to get me 13 downvotes by my own comrades and community. Wow. Feels bad. August 26, 2020 at 11:37PM

Today I saw a side of my husband I have never seen before

My husband just spent 10 hours in the emergency room with a co-worker/friend who attempted to take his own life last night. He confided in my husband this morning when they arrived at work. My husband, who's always been the goofy and never serious one, turned into someone different. He was serious. Calm. He went into this mode I've never seen before. He said we are going to make it better dude. Drove him to the hospital. Sat with him. Talked to him. Advocated for this man. He made sure his coworkers house was locked up. His vehicle was safe. The compassion and heart my husband has shown is incredible. I am so proud to call him my husband and even prouder to call him the father of our children. Days like today remind me of how lucky I truly am.

Can someone explain to me, why am I still here?

How do I survive a relationship a narcissistic man? One that thinks he's some kind of God, when he has a little money in his pocket. Example: I just met up with him a tmobile store. He wants to buy a new iPhone. Ok. He gets there before me. Then calls me, yells into the phone so obnoxiously. Right there, that tells me he's showing off, that's his tell tell sign. I ask him to quite down. I pull up, enter the store and see two ladies, they looked at me as if I was the devil. I didn't put two and two together until he starts bragging (in his loudest voice) "hey just give me the best iphone you have, I'm paying cash." He doesn't kiss me or give me a hug, nothing to distinguish to the world that I'm his wife. Just proceeds to be loud and obnoxious. Now, back to the ladies, the longer I was there, the longer they stared. I'm sure they wished I was his daughter, cousin or sister. So they can make there move on him. These two were sizing my husband up

How to stop talking to someone you aren't necessarily "seeing"

I'm 30F and recently met a man through a work event about a month and a half ago. We work in the same industry (different companies) and have some mutual acquaintances through work. We have gone out for coffee 3 times now and something just seems off and I'm skeptical about him. For starters, he won't tell me how old he is. It started out as kind of a joke with him saying he's "old", but now I'm getting annoyed. He doesn't appear to be much older than me so I'm not even sure why he cares or why it's even an issue. I've outright asked him how old he is and he'll say something like "let's keep that a mystery for now..". This is a red flag for me because if you can't even disclose something as simple and essential as your age, what else could you possibly be hiding? Secondly, we never seem to get anywhere past meeting for coffee which is always scheduled last minute. I've invited him to lunch a few times, and to m

So....I guess he's not into me? Help me understand.

Someone I (30F) met from Tinder 5 years ago reached out to me earlier this year. He (32M) found on Instagram via suggestions. After a few messages back and forth, he asked me out. Unfortunately Covid-19 placed us under a lock down so we couldn't meet. We agreed to meet once it's safe to do so. We finally had our first date in July and it was really nice. I told him straight from the beginning that I was only interested in a serious relationship. He responded with, "We'll see how it goes." He made an attempt to have sex with me, which I denied. I didn't feel comfortable with that but I was okay with making out with him. Before leaving, we had a kiss goodbye. Since then, we've been having 1-2 dates every week for a month, which were initiated by the both of us. We had sex by the second date and have done so on every date after. He was also the one that told me he misses me by the second date. We planned on doing many activities together in the following m
