As far as it is for me, the people around me, don't consider that about me which it is pleasant. It definitely must've sucked going through school with that level of concern. December 31, 2020 at 12:02AM

Of course! Keep it up :) it's always nice to see fellow artists heh December 31, 2020 at 12:01AM

If you have anything in particular you want drawn I can do it for free no worries about commissions December 30, 2020 at 11:59PM

37m here. I feel being asexual as a (cis)man is much more acceptable in culture largely due to men getting more opportunities for self-determination than women in general. As such, it seems less likely that they would have a need to seek out an identity to explicitly identify themselves with. I didn't really look into these communities until my marriage fell apart a while ago and I had to contemplate dating in a hookup culture. In my own journey I wasn't fully self-aware, but like with most things the hardest years were teenage years when I needed to be closer to peers my own age. Honestly I think the hardest moments were when people mistook me for being gay and I bore the brunt of discrimination for that. edit: All that being said, I don't want to come off as minimizing the difficulty not fitting in can cause. I'm also aware many asexuals are discriminated against, but in my own walk I've found people are generally very comfortable interacting with a male cis ne

Sounds like “ace spike” to me? I’m new here and just spent a bit of time in the FAQ and glossary pages yesterday learning a lot. I’ve experienced what you describe (like literally 4 times in my entire life and I’m 37. They were all pretty memorably unpleasant- I did have sex in one of those instances) and it caused me such massive confusion and self doubt for so many years. Now I know it’s a thing that some asexuals experience. I am also going all med student on this and have a science-ish hypothesis. I think that part of this happening is physical proximity to the other person (like we asexuals aren’t likely going to have an ace-spike from a picture or movie, though you do describe fantasy so my theory doesn’t really work with that) because of a massive spike in THEIR pheromones and their energy. This is why it wears off pretty fast too, I think. Like the other persons pheromones and energy can’t carry the show on its own for a prolonged time. December 30, 2020 at 11:55PM

Yeah, that sounds right. The mental image of someone smiling at a picture of sprinkles is hilarious December 30, 2020 at 11:50PM

I did ballroom dance for 2 years and then on and off for a 3rd year. I loved it. One of my passions. Less fun and more uncomfortable without people I know though. It’s a nice bonding experience if you are doing it with someone you know. I never considered it sexual. I took my bf at the time to a class and he was terrible at it but I appreciate that he came. I also had a friend who was also my dance partner at one point, never evolved into something romantic but I think both of us wanted it to and were too afraid to initiate. I never engage sexy dancing tho. Makes me very uncomfortable. December 30, 2020 at 11:50PM

28M grey ace here, can't work out where I'm located on the aromantic scale though. December 30, 2020 at 11:49PM

As a heteroromantic ace myself, I can say you are completely valid! December 30, 2020 at 11:47PM

Could you please explain how being aromantic feels? Do you love the other person or what sorts of feelings do you have? How does missing the other person feels? Sorry if the question seems dumb, I honestly have no idea about this. December 30, 2020 at 11:46PM

oh dude i've always sucked at redstone, i'm more of a builder myself. what kind of contraptions are you trying to create? December 30, 2020 at 11:44PM

It also is bound by no outside laws! December 30, 2020 at 11:43PM

It took me almost 10 years to love again after my first serious girlfriend. Now with my second one, we broke up almost 2 years ago, and I still haven't even started to move on. She is probably about to get married by now LOL. Not sure how people can move on so quickly, but I'm sure OP will be fine sooner than it usually takes me. December 30, 2020 at 11:42PM

I'd like the dragons without Sauron please December 30, 2020 at 11:40PM

You could always wear a black ring on your right middle finger. That's the Ace Ring and a lot of Aces know what it means! December 30, 2020 at 11:38PM
