/u/notacockroach_ on if i were to wear a black ring on my right middle finger would people just assume i’m asexual

Unless they are asexual no. A lot of people wear black rings December 04, 2020 at 12:00AM

/u/throwaway83948967 on Struggling with possible Asexuality

I’m new to asexuality so I can’t help you much but I wanted to at least leave a comment to show I care! From your post, you do sound asexual but this is something only you can decide. Remember that arousal has nothing to do with being ace. I personally struggle with this. I have a fairly ‘out of control’ libido which I hate. Sometimes I have it strongly, like the last few days, and it really makes me doubt I’m asexual, it sounds like you’re having a similar experience. You need to carefully consider whether you find actual people sexually attractive (help on the wiki with this) and not be distracted by the absence or presence of libido. Just the last thing to add is that your label is your choice. If you find asexual a helpful way of explaining yourself at this point, you should use it. But try not to have too much worry about it. You are far more complex than a single word so you need to decide whether asexual is helpful. December 03, 2020 at 11:59PM

/u/notacockroach_ on What do y'all think about kissing?

Kissing is fun but not for too long. Tongue is gross and it's a no no. December 03, 2020 at 11:58PM

/u/Alone_Entertainer626 on Anyone else surprised at how quickly conversations turn to dirty stuff?

Idk did you try brain washing them they seem to be dirty up in there December 03, 2020 at 11:58PM

ooooohhhh okay that makes more sense now. sounds interesting! December 03, 2020 at 11:58PM

/u/AceOfManyYears on Is Asexuality related to gender non-conformity or non-binarism?

No, not for me. December 03, 2020 at 11:58PM

/u/TheChronologer1 on What do y'all think about kissing?

I like "smooches". So the type where lips meet lips or check or whatever. I am kind of grossed out by full-on making out, especially with tongue involved. December 03, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/MiaulinS on i stumbled across this extremely relatable silent film intertitle

I 1000% agree! (except in limited circumstances, e.g. macaroni and cheese is decent if the texture of the noodles is good) December 03, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/mentalconstapatience on as I am a god I can confirm that yes I do

This is true. I think women have a pretty important place in the story of Jesus, relative to how they are treated in other stories of the Bible. The story of Jesus definitely wants to establish that everyone can have a place in God's kingdom. Despite all of this, it's still so bizarre to me that godly women are still treated as minor characters in 90% of the Bible (not a rigorous estimate of course). I know that the Bible isn't about the humans themselves, but about their relationships with God. Why wasn't God interested in divinely inspiring a woman to write about her relationship with God then? Women are just as capable as men mentally, and if they were somehow less capable spiritually, then that would be cruel on God's part. Since the Bible doesn't say that they're less capable spiritually, then should we assume negligence on God's part? For a God that can do literally anything, it seems He never took the time to expand on the story of a major fema...

/u/AceOfManyYears on Need to help my friend

Asexuality just means that a person never (or very rarely) feels sexual attraction towards a specific individual. Aces can have a libido, want to cuddle, want a relationship. Some aces have sex for a variety of reasons, some watch porn, some masturbate. But an ace doesn’t look at someone and think about having sex with them. December 03, 2020 at 11:53PM

/u/Jumpyropes on What do y'all think about kissing?

I find it kinda boring. Like while kissing I'm always thinking eh I'd rather be doing something else December 03, 2020 at 11:52PM

/u/kaitekat-ame on as I am a god I can confirm that yes I do

When my husband and I were planning our marriage, he was living half a continent away at the time, so the planning part generally fell to me. Despite my husband and I being agnostic, my mom REALLY wanted us married by the Christian pastor in her little town. I figured it couldn't hurt to talk to him, so mom had him over. I had never met the man before, but I figured if mom liked him he must be okay. He uh....he was not okay. He basically went on this longwinded rant about how marriage was a ship and it could only have one captain, and how that captain must be the husband. He told me about how his daughter struggled with this when she was younger, but now she is happily married and has accepted her proper place under her husband. Also, he told me that he generally didn't marry couples without 6 months of marriage counselling by himself. Because this was a very small town and I loved my mother, I listened politely and excused myself ASAP. Mom entertained him for a little whil...

/u/LampsPlus99 on I don’t know what exactly am I, please help

I am having very much the same problem. At this point, I am not sure about much more than I am somewhere on the ace spectrum. At this point, I have come to some acceptance of it. Its blurry, its fuzzy, and I don't know if I can neatly give myself into one microlabel or the other. However, I hope you can receive some solace knowing that there are others who feel the same way (and many of them are here on this subreddit). December 03, 2020 at 11:49PM

/u/JumpyLiving on PSA

But why a spoon specifically? Why not any other relatively lightweight, blunt, hard object? December 03, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/ChezJason on I don’t know what exactly am I, please help

First of all: your English is amazing! The only reason why I know it’s not your first language is because you said so yourself, had you said nothing I would have never known. At my job I work with tons of non-native English speakers so I see their writing and listen to them all the time, so I’m not just saying that to be nice. Your English is really good. Secondly: unfortunately, finding the right label is a pretty personal journey. There are lots of identifiers and labels in the ace spectrum. You sound maybe Demi or gray-asexual to me (?), but in the end it doesn’t matter what I think, it matters how you feel. AVEN’s definition page could be a good place to start looking for labels: https://www.asexuality.org/?q=general.html Also, about your crushes, I wouldn’t worry about that. It’s pretty common to have a crush on someone but not want anything. I think most people call this a “squish” instead of a crush (?). Also: don’t forget that sexuality is fluid and people change! I’ve bee...

/u/AceOfManyYears on if i were to wear a black ring on my right middle finger would people just assume i’m asexual

Probably not. Most people don’t know what it means. If I saw someone wearing one, I’d ask them if it was an ace ring but I wouldn’t assume anything. December 03, 2020 at 11:46PM

/u/JumpyLiving on as I am a god I can confirm that yes I do

I mean He could easily create a partner for himself if He wanted to (or indeed just make His blue-balls go away instantly) if He wanted to, because of the whole omnipotence thing December 03, 2020 at 11:45PM

/u/love_the_ocean on Anyone feel really relieved to be asexual?

I was also happy to find out bc previously I’d been giving myself anxiety over “sex with your partner is an inevitability/required/expected” I dreaded the day/night that I might be expected to have sex. So for me it was kind of an ‘oh thank GOD’ moment, I’d say a particular upside to it is- with the desire for sex removed- a different, profound and deep intimacy can be created.

/u/Necessary-Mountain-8 on I am really confused, was this sexual attraction?

If the idea of HIM recieving those images and uhhh enjoying them is appealing to you and/or if you want them reciprocated and that does something for you physically and mentally then its sexual attraction (I think thays what sexual attraction is defined as). If you felt uncomfortable with HIM recieving your sexual images or you recieving his then it's not sexual attraction, probsbly just sexual desire. December 03, 2020 at 11:42PM

/u/atomant88 on My Attraction is "Permanent Friendzone"

im basically permanently in the friend zone lol but i wouldnt say its my goal. to each their own tho. i love my friends <3 December 03, 2020 at 11:41PM

/u/GoStarFall on I am really confused, was this sexual attraction?

I think for it to be classed as sexual attraction it has to be aimed at a particular person. It sounds like whatever you were feeling wasn't aimed at the person so I wouldn't call it attraction. Maybe more like un-targeted arousal at the idea of sending the photo? December 03, 2020 at 11:39PM

/u/BananaBread_047 on I wish people would be more accepting of asexuals talking about our struggles

The thing that baffles me most is members of an inclusive community is choosing to exclude certain members of that community even though they fall under its definition. Everyone is valid and I don't give a rat's arse about what anyone else says. December 03, 2020 at 11:34PM
