/u/SpongeBarbara16 on Finding an ace romantic relationship

That’s too bad December 17, 2020 at 12:02AM

/u/SpongeBarbara16 on Would anyone else want a separate sub for aphobic comments?

Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of December 17, 2020 at 12:02AM

/u/Gothic_Analogue on I don’t understand why some people think they know me better than I know myself.

Cis and trans are Greek, I first encountered the words in stereochemistry. Lesbian is also Greek because it’s derived from Sappho of Lesbos, a Greek female poet who loved writing about the ladies (hence sapphic and lesbian). However again I’m unsure if they use another term for lesbian, but they probably do for gay as in English that used to mean “happy”. December 17, 2020 at 12:01AM

/u/TheOTHERTom915 on Made a phone background, for myself and for anyone who might wanna use it!

/u/Gothic_Analogue on I don’t understand why some people think they know me better than I know myself.

EDIT: I replied to the wrong person! Apologies. December 17, 2020 at 12:00AM

/u/Minicheesy on Can someone please help me figure out whether I am actually asexual?

It sounds like u may be asexual if it helps u feel better u can identify as it until u feel otherwise some people feel better being able to label how they feel and it seems like u feel like an asexual when I was 14 I felt the same way I didn’t want to have sex with anyone but I still found people attractive and stuff December 17, 2020 at 12:00AM

/u/Jaspers47 on Going on insta and seeing mostly allo memes on the asexual hashtag

The rest are cake/garlic bread pictures December 16, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/LosingMySanityCuzOf on Can someone please help me figure out whether I am actually asexual?

Yes, I can confidently say that, but still I don't feel confident in saying "I am asexual", I guess I'll just wait for other replies. Thanks though. December 16, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/Mawngee on Can you wear the asexual ring on your left hand?

It's all the right hand, middle finger for asexual, other fingers (typically ring finger) for swingers. Wearing it on the left hand would mean that other people just wouldn't recognize as signifying either meaning. December 16, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/notacockroach_ on handy dandy graph for all you allies :)

Heeeyyyy~~~ December 16, 2020 at 11:55PM

/u/EY915 on Any asexual videogame character?

Daud from Dishonored, actually. December 16, 2020 at 11:54PM

/u/harryyrrahharryyrrah on Advice for finding other asexual people?

Hey dude, asexual mlm uni student here too! We do exist, unfortunately as you said, we're quite a small group. If you're sex-repulsed (like I am), then i would say that comprimising your identity is only going to make you and a future partner miserable. I'm not really sure what to do either really, just sort of hoping for someone to appear one day .__. December 16, 2020 at 11:53PM

/u/allo100 on Can someone please help me figure out whether I am actually asexual?

If you can say "I do find women to be attractive, but I never actually want to have sex [with these women]." Then you are asexual. December 16, 2020 at 11:51PM

/u/allo100 on can you be asexual and still be physically attracted to people?

Yes you can find people hot. As long as you don't want to have sex with them, you are asexual. December 16, 2020 at 11:45PM

/u/Mawngee on How old were you when you find out?

I was in my mid to late 30s when I realized. Growing up, the only "options" were straight and gay, so never realized that asexuality was an option. In my mid 30s I realized I didn't really care about sex, and figured everyone must be exaggerating. Then earlier this year I was reading more about asexuality and realized that it was an option, and saw signs of it going back to my early teens, and things made a lot more sense. Lack of awareness/publicity makes it hard for a lot of people to realize. I figure there's not difference in "required" age between asexuality and gay/straight; you don't hear that gay people will become hetero once they're older and "meet the right person". The young age at which some allos said they knew their orientation sounds rather ridiculous to me as an ace, so I don't buy their excuse that aces are too young to know. ​ I usually jump from "I am asexual" to "I am just too young to experience

/u/The_Book-JDP on As an asexual, is it harder for you to achieve orgasm?

I get there every time and with ease but then I am very comfortable and familiar with my body. I never thought of my body as something that was taboo or gross or off limits leaving it as something to explore for my future spouse. Being kept in the dark and covered until after I get married and have revealed as gift for my husband to unwrap for himself and depend on him to know what he’s doing and hope he’s not a selfish dickhead who only sees me as a masturbatory object that is different from his hand. If I combine clit stimulation with sounding, I climax within a few seconds...my normal time is 8 minutes with just clitoris stimulation. I say if you are having trouble and do want to experience it, then take the time to explore yourself there is nothing wrong with knowing yourself in and out. It will help with knowing what you like and what feels the best and with your overall physical health. Know what it feels and looks like down there just incase something is off. December 16,

/u/Its-Someone on I don’t understand why some people think they know me better than I know myself.

Hopefully, I’m glad you had a chance to have a civil conversation with them, I know some people can be very closed minded and believe their way of thinking is the only way. December 16, 2020 at 11:39PM

/u/WokeEdgelord on "Straight asexual" is quite the oxymoron, and I wish it wasn't used for exclusion from the LGBTQ+ community.

Hey, that's really interesting, I never knew that. Do you think that you could clue me into a source for that? I'd love to learn more about the community's history. December 16, 2020 at 11:37PM

/u/FrostKaio on I don’t understand why some people think they know me better than I know myself.

True, very true. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt though. I know this person just worries about me ending up alone and unhappy. Although their view may be that a family is happiness. That's why I politely explained my side, and hopefully enlightened them a bit. December 16, 2020 at 11:37PM

/u/QFaboo on Goodbye Ace Gang

Thanks for being here! Enjoy your journey! December 16, 2020 at 11:35PM

/u/Its-Someone on I don’t understand why some people think they know me better than I know myself.

Yeah it’s okay to not understand, but it’s not okay to invalidate someone because you don’t understand. December 16, 2020 at 11:33PM

/u/FrostKaio on I don’t understand why some people think they know me better than I know myself.

Yea that's basically what I said. But I can understand why it's difficult for someone who enjoys it, to not understand that we do not. December 16, 2020 at 11:29PM
