/u/UnicornFukei42 on I'll always appreciate Pacific Rim's Ace Mood

That is actually a great analysis. It might've been better without the health problems which come from drifting (those were kind of uncomfortable) but hey, it's nice how they kind of bucked the rules with a forehead touch instead of a kiss. December 03, 2020 at 12:02AM

/u/Felipe_Silva_ on What is the code for aroace user flair?

Why doesnt it work w me then? December 02, 2020 at 11:59PM

/u/AnxiousTuxedoBird on Oversexualised Hollywood film and how asexual artists are helping

Yeah I got kinda ranty with all that December 02, 2020 at 11:58PM

/u/_chompchomp on Permission To Punch?

Why are people so concerned about other people's bloodlines? :/ Like you threw your life away for children you felt obligated to have so now everyone else has to? Nah. December 02, 2020 at 11:57PM

/u/AGAR1273 on Permission To Punch?

And create a new bloodline, if you know what I mean. . . December 02, 2020 at 11:54PM

/u/UnicornFukei42 on Oversexualised Hollywood film and how asexual artists are helping

I think that's something that is a problem in our society, not only for aces but for people who just don't quite feel ready for sex at age 14. December 02, 2020 at 11:54PM

/u/Ishouldjustgotobed on Do any of you enjoy romance dramas? If yes, why?

Personally I need a bit of romance in a story to get properly invested, but if the story is entirely romance-driven I get bored really quickly. I don't know why that is, but there is a certain thrill in watching people falling in love amidst the chaos, even if it's not a thing I want for myself. December 02, 2020 at 11:53PM

/u/choirandcrafting on Planning on painting my nails as a ace guy

There is plenty of nail polish at dollar tree if you live in the US so you can get a few different colors and go wild. Also there are some great nail art channels on YouTube to help if you want to follow with someone. As someone with social anxiety my experience has been that if you act confident others around you will go with it. And if someone at school calls you out ask them why they have an issue with what you do with your own body....they're the asshole not you. December 02, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/UnicornFukei42 on Do you sometimes get interested in your friends sex lives? (19F)

That's interesting...an interest in sex but not in the sense of wanting to have it, in a more intellectual sense. December 02, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/SavingsNecessary7438 on Permission To Punch?

I will scour the internet December 02, 2020 at 11:43PM

/u/JaggelZ on This means people have looked at me and thought "I want to have sex with her!"

I refuse to believe that "damn I'd tap that" means any other thing than "damn they look fine", I can't wrap my head around anything else tbh December 02, 2020 at 11:43PM

/u/AstarteSnow on Permission To Punch?

That's YouTube December 02, 2020 at 11:42PM

/u/its-murph-or-nothin on Anyone else start to find themselves more attractive and be less critical of your own appearance after realizing you were ace

You put it in words for me December 02, 2020 at 11:42PM

/u/404LeonNotFound on What is the code for aroace user flair?

I checked and it’s :aroace: December 02, 2020 at 11:38PM

/u/Ersonified on Permission To Punch?

Oh no? We've been found out. Honestly, I never thought people like him would figure that we're just memes. December 02, 2020 at 11:38PM

/u/404LeonNotFound on I don’t feel attraction towards anyone, am I Asexual?

That would make you Biromantic asexual December 02, 2020 at 11:37PM

/u/ElGatitoMalo on I'm still struggling with what sexual attraction is...

Well to focus on the concept of sexual attraction, Sexual attraction is sexual arousal. You experience a stimulus that's sexually appealing to you, you get aroused, to some extent (can be physical, mental, or both) and on the basis of that arousal you want that stimulus more. Getting the stimulus results in a positive feedback loop. For straight men, that stimulus is typically visual. It's women. Large breasts, small waist-to-hip ratio, youth, symmetrical face, etc. If you've only got a sexual kink, you're not necessarily going to get that stimulus, that cue, in the same contexts as "regular" people. E.g. if you're a latex fetishist, you can go to a regular nightclub, but nobody's wearing latex. If you're into dom/sub stuff, well everyone interacts in polite society as equals. Etc.

/u/Gothic_Analogue on I HAVE A PROPOSITION FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE ACE PLANT JOKES

These are examples of agamogenesis, specifically parthenogenesis. It’s far more widespread in many animals than just the Komodo dragon and certain species of Hammerhead; and of course microorganisms too like rotifers (still an animal I think). December 02, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/rosethornback on What were some signs of your asexuality that you only recognized in hindsight?

LOL rip to that kid And yeah same, I used to fantasize about sex and even told my friend "I think I might become a slut when I start having sex" and cited the reason that I'm "fascinated" by it. Fascination doesn't equal attraction though clearly, lol. Still haven't had sex and I'm pretty content with that. However, I still love to hear about it and relationships in a context that doesn't involve me. I'm subbed to so many relationship subs on reddit alone lol December 02, 2020 at 11:32PM

/u/nemaline on What's the difference between avoidant attachment style and asexuality?

Asexuality is the absence of sexual attraction, and has nothing to do with your personality. I'm asexual but literally none of those traits apply to me. December 02, 2020 at 11:32PM

/u/UnscathedUnscammer on What's the difference between avoidant attachment style and asexuality?

I'm confused. What about avoidant attachment style do you find similar to Asexuality? Cuz I'm a really basic het ace and none of that sounds like me. December 02, 2020 at 11:31PM

/u/ElGatitoMalo on Lots of sex in beginning of relationship, then losing interest in it, but not in porn/ masturbation/ kink - ace?!?

I choose option A. You're just very much into kink, insofar as vanilla just does not really do it for you. Not liking plain old sex isn't the only criteria for considering asexuality (although aces don't like want plain old sex, generally.) As as you've seen with your kink porn, sexual interests can be pretty varied. I've got a "use me, hurt me" thing going on as well. It's not about the sex, which I don't want, it's about the power, which is very much a sexual interest for me. December 02, 2020 at 11:29PM

/u/moondust__ on I might be ace or aro, but I keep on questioning and confusing myself

Thank you! I'll try it, maybe it'll help me get a bit further than where I'm at right now!! December 02, 2020 at 11:29PM
