/u/Chiitann on As a female ace...The song WAP makes me so uncomfortable.

/u/UncleMadlad on Available now

I will definitely be listening to this on Spotify. September 01, 2020 at 11:53PM

/u/Rough_Nails on Does anyone know of any asexual composers?

Greetings!!! I feel kinda extra for always bringing them up but I feel like several aces like watching them so that's nice. They also kinda have ace vibes when they tell you to set aside dating in favor of practice. And when they reviewed the musicians blind dating videos, they were more fixated on critiquing the music instead of observing the dating interactions. There was even this part when they heard this song in the same vid that had the lyrics "put your hands all over me" and then they said they'd be embarrassed if someone sang that to them. It's pretty interesting. September 01, 2020 at 11:50PM

/u/tale_of_two_wolves on So I‘m a mandala artist and one of my friends gave me the idea to draw a mandala using Ace Flag Colors, and I did! I’m now using this as my ace flag in my room!!

This is beautiful. I want this as a sticker ....😃 September 01, 2020 at 11:48PM

/u/MySucculentDied on How would you like to see yourselves represented in media?

I’ll be a bit more descriptive than the other comments. If you plan on focusing in on the sexualities of your characters then it’s definitely good to understand important aspects of them. If you don’t plan on focusing too much on the sexualities, then the character just being asexual, mentioning it casually or whatever, is good enough for a lot of us. That being said, some important things to consider: (I don’t know how much you know about asexuality, so bare with me) Asexuality is a spectrum that crosses over every other sexuality. Meaning you can be homoromantic asexual, panromantic, heteroromantic, etc, or something like bi-greysexual (rare attraction to male or females, possibly under specific circumstances). There’s also aro ace people who don’t experience either romantic or sexual attraction. This one is probably the most easy to explain to an audience without all of the extra complexities. There’s also sex-positive, indifferent, averse and repulsed aces. Repulsed would be t...

This is one of the most beautiful mandala's I've ever seen... it's dark and pleasingly simple but definitely vivid enough to enjoy looking at. Who knew Ace colors were so awesome... September 01, 2020 at 11:40PM

/u/ErmDaWorm on How would you like to see yourselves represented in media?

Do you have any tips on implying their asexuality without specifically calling them asexual? There’s no bigotry in my story’s world, so labels for race, sexuality, etc. aren’t used because discrimination never existed in the first place. So is there any advice you can give me so that the reader knows the character is ace without a doubt? September 01, 2020 at 11:37PM

/u/the_golden_b on i aint even asexual but why some people gotta be assholes for stuff thst don’t affect them???

I mean it’s not really aphobia imo. They simply just don’t understand and that’s ok too. September 01, 2020 at 11:37PM

Same!!! Eddy from TwoSet likes Debussy tho September 01, 2020 at 11:36PM

Agreed. The owners are great. September 01, 2020 at 11:35PM

Worse thing is when people realize it's more likely asexuality is caused by something physical which in turn can cause a porn addiction. This guy is flying the alien ships in Independence Day while we're all flying the F-16s. September 01, 2020 at 11:34PM

/u/EmeraldHealing on My ace ring came after 15 days of waiting + my supportive friends’ reaction

I was chanting “ace ring time” in the unboxing vlog I sent them, hence their reaction September 01, 2020 at 11:34PM

/u/ragtimeholly on I came out to my family today (and they didn't freak out)

yes send the link! : )) September 01, 2020 at 11:33PM

/u/crazy-crab on How would you like to see yourselves represented in media?

This is awesome! Thanks for adding ace rep, we need it lol I’d say that along the lines of writing an ace character like you would any other, it may be good to specifically steer away from the stereotypes that all aces are antisocial recluses (I mean I personally happen to be an antisocial recluse but that’s beside the point lol) or inhuman monsters, or that we feel lonely, sad, or unfulfilled in a life without sex, because none of these are the case at all. ps. Also, if you really want to go for it, have them love garlic bread; it’s our signature food XD pps. or cake ppps. really, any food would do September 01, 2020 at 11:28PM

/u/kalarion on I came out to my family today (and they didn't freak out)

Thanks, I really loved it. And it was on an online store (kinda like eBay), I can send you the link if you would like, but the shipping would be from Brazil. September 01, 2020 at 11:27PM

/u/ha_eunnie on Sex Positive Asexual or Grey ?

Again it’s very confusing because my cis female friends also say that they don’t see people on the street and want to fuck them. I guess I am still really confused what sexual attraction is. September 01, 2020 at 11:23PM

/u/sennkestra on New game Crusader Kings 3 is out today with this awesome game rule option to create asexual world!

From what the dev diary mentioned, it sounds like it may affect how the ai determines character relationships: While the AI doesn’t pursue romance or sex with someone they’re not attracted to, the player can sometimes choose to act against their sexual preference (albeit with a penalty, and it can never lead to a lover relationship). I'm curious to hear more reports from actual players in the final product though! September 01, 2020 at 11:23PM

Marriage at an "older" age?

My timelines and newsreel are filled with weddings and im pretty single. Would love to hear some stories about late marriages for some hope/uplifting. :) How did you meet your spouse, Was it worth the wait?,etc Submitted September 01, 2020 at 11:27PM My timelines and newsreel are filled with weddings and im pretty single.

New milestone Seperate Bedrooms

So the title is as it shows, my husband and I are going to try seperate bedrooms tonight. I’m normally awake during the middle of the night (up around 2-3 am) and while I never thought I moved around too much today my husband commented that he hasn’t been sleeping well lately and he thinks I’m the reason why. We have one master and one guest bedroom, to be nice I offered to take the guest room since we don’t have blackout curtains in there and the sun rises right into the window. Working on cleaning the room right now so it’s a little comfortable (mainly been storage/the cats bedroom) though I doubt I’ll be sleeping well (the mattress itself is at least 30 years old (the entire bedroom set was his grandmothers). So my question is couples who have done this, any tips? Thanks I’m advance Submitted September 01, 2020 at 11:47PM So the title is as it shows, my husband and I are going to try seperate bedrooms tonight.

The lost magic of meeting someone IRL

I recently met someone special in real life, probably the first time that's happened in at least six years. It made me realize how many elements of romance and courtship I've lost with OLD. The cosmic feeling of being brought together by an unexpected twist in your evening, not an algorithm code. The crackling of neurons firing as your brain digests this new person in real time - rather than days of messaging like job candidates, checking off questions and boxes. The actual thrill of not needing to know the totality of someone right away - or even their name - when you're being pulled by some invisible string toward each other. It felt different than my app dates: more boundless, more wild, more urgent. It was a kinetic soul connection that I had forgotten I could feel. Does anyone else miss this?
