/u/-Solidwater on TW: Sexual Abuse - How do asexuals react to it compared to allos?

Yeah, I don't agree either. Everything about the associations completely sucks and has no reason to exist. Period. December 13, 2020 at 12:06AM

/u/khne522 on TW: Sexual Abuse - How do asexuals react to it compared to allos?

Religion and other legacies. I didn't say I agreed with the associations. I just mean they exist without validating them. December 13, 2020 at 12:04AM

/u/Pulsefree on But I thought being ace had nothing to do with whether you like sex or not???(Collection of highly upvoted posts on this sub)

You are right, it's about weather or not you feel sexual attraction. Liking sex or not liking sex is a side note. December 13, 2020 at 12:03AM

/u/Chazkuangshi on I'm not broken!

Hi fellow Aego :) it really is a relief when it finally clicks, isn't it? December 12, 2020 at 11:59PM

/u/riddlesandfairytales on Wyvern the Ace Jay-Bird

I would love to have this on my art wall 🥰🥰 December 12, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/_pandahippie_ on uncomfy

i don’t know if this will help you, but this is my experience. i’m ace and in the closet too! i like the IDEA of sex. an intimate act with someone you love, the foreplay, the pleasure. BUT, i don’t like being sexual or indulging in the act, sexual touches and whatnot make me uncomfortable. i don’t like doing the act itself. yet i make sex jokes all the time. it’s odd, i’m both a sex positive and sex repulsed ace. tldr: idea of sex = okay, doing it/being sexual = not okay i hope this helps you.

/u/antisocialblob on I FOUND ACE AND ARO REPRESENTATION IN THE WILD

they're actually free on itch! but supporting the developers would be great because these games are genuinely amazing December 12, 2020 at 11:52PM

/u/idiotsandwiche on I don’t understand some people. Why is it controversial to say that in general asexuals are less likely to want sex?

I think it has something to do with erasure a lot of aces experience when they say they have or want sex. Because usually people already associate asexual = no sex. Aces who have sex experience having their own identity erased or even dismissed due to this misunderstanding and even though more aces possibly don't want sex, it's not good to support this stereotype. Because this stereotype can be harmful for others. I mean generalizing is never great honestly and especially the ace spectrum is extremely diverse when it comes to experience, attraction and sexual interests. On a personal note: I consider myself sex-indifferent. I don't really know if I ever want to have sex but due to the stereotype of "asexual=no sex drive" it took me a really long time to actually identity with the ace community.

/u/-Solidwater on TW: Sexual Abuse - How do asexuals react to it compared to allos?

I don't get why it has connotations and associations. Like, it means that you did that , why would it be good or bad or anything? It's a status. December 12, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/Cordure on I hate how everyone acts like sex and romance are a definitive part of being human or happy

This is a super-nice sentiment with which I agree, and I’m glad you posted it! Thanks for being a great ally for now, and if you find you’re under the ace umbrella later, welcome!! This was really refreshing to read! December 12, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/khne522 on TW: Sexual Abuse - How do asexuals react to it compared to allos?

Worried for what reason? Worried what others will think of you and how they will act? Your value has zero to do with sexual experience, trauma, or lack of any or all. So what is it that really bothers you, if I may ask? December 12, 2020 at 11:48PM

/u/MnMRats on The stages of misunderstanding

Wait do people actually fall in love like upob seeing someone? How the heck does that work?? December 12, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/khne522 on TW: Sexual Abuse - How do asexuals react to it compared to allos?

And if anybody thinks it's worth anything or wants to have further debate, they're wasting their time. I wish we even got rid of the term and its associations and only had unpronouncable clinical ones, not that it would prevent the misuse, misfocus, whatever. The only value I see for it is ironic shock value. December 12, 2020 at 11:47PM

/u/ta_sch on Came out to my 3 boys

See, like I said, you are just trying to be mean. Not that I owe you any explanation, but English is not my first language, I'm sorry if "boys" is just used for children I'm not sure about that. I don't need arguments because there is nothing to defend here. I could explain it to you, but since you are just trying to be mean you are not someone I want to talk about all the details of my persona life with. Like I said, if you are truly interested, look it up yourself, the information is all there. December 12, 2020 at 11:46PM

/u/Creative_Champion_56 on Came out to my 3 boys

I'm always up for discussion, you simply lack logical arguments, which is apparent by how quickly you deflect to ad hominem . Tell me, how can you have a satisfactionary sexual encounter with someone if you know for a fact they're not into it? Your "boys" (what are you 12 or a pedo?) sound rapey as fuck.

/u/flowers_and_fire on I hate how everyone acts like sex and romance are a definitive part of being human or happy

This is very relatable from the (possibly in my case) being demi to being mentally ill lol. I am in fact also pretty miserable but it's not because I'm single and not having sex lol December 12, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/cozaure on First time making garlic bread... (and my mother couldn't understand why I suddenly became so obsessed with the idea of cooking some!)

I maybe put too much garlic but yes for a first try it was pretty good! December 12, 2020 at 11:33PM

/u/cozaure on First time making garlic bread... (and my mother couldn't understand why I suddenly became so obsessed with the idea of cooking some!)

Don't worry, cake is ace enough lol December 12, 2020 at 11:33PM

/u/fissiparous-scorpio on I hate how everyone acts like sex and romance are a definitive part of being human or happy

As someone who is very demi and was single for a long time without feeling any attraction - this is so dumb ofc u can be happy without feeling attraction!!!! I mean I was miserable personally but I am still on account of the #mentalillnesses :) December 12, 2020 at 11:33PM

/u/RecognitionExotic960 on When A Rejected Allosexual Decides He Knows What's Best For You

Well buddy I have just one thing to say to that, "Go fuck yourself, you disgusting sex driven scum." December 12, 2020 at 11:32PM
