Does he only want me for sex?

Hello! I’m f19 and I met m26 online. We have been talking for about a month and he keeps asking to meet up which I politely decline since I am living with my parents and they would never approve of me meeting someone online. He respects that and asks to remain friends. We snap and text everyday and he asked me if I was on birth control which sorta bothered me since it seems like he only wants me for sex. I’m confused why he would want to remain friends, and if he was hoping I would eventually change my mind. I had clearly told him no. Submitted April 01, 2021 at 12:05AM Hello!

Unpopular Opinion: This is the worst dating advice you can give

I think the worst dating advice is “if they like you, you’ll know.” I rage when I hear this because every situation is so complex and there can be so many factors that would prevent someone from making a move even if they really like you.

Is it Creepy to ask My Neighbor if his Friend is Single?

I'll probably delete this cause I already feel lame, but as the title suggests- New to the neighborhood, got welcomed in by everybody on the block. I was smoking with this couple around my age across the street, and their male friend (also apparently a neighbor). Me and the guy definitely hit it off, and he even walked me "home" even though it was a minute down the street. Kinda regret not asking for his number but since it was my first time meeting him that felt like a lot- but now I don't know when I'll see him again! Would it be super cringe of me to low key bring him up next time I see one of the people in the "couple" and ask about him? 😭😂 Submitted April 01, 2021 at 12:07AM I'll probably delete this cause I already feel lame, but as the title suggests-New to the neighborhood, got welcomed in by everybody on the block.

Harassment / bullying

Hi , I’ve posted here before when I was in the rejection stage with a women therefore I will try to just get to the point. A women I was pursuing (she had high interest in me as well) kindly rejected me due to over pursuing. When I stopped she texts me back and I attempted again (within a few days) - I told her I was interested in a few women but felt there was potential btwn us but if she rly meant she wants to just stay friends I accept her decision. She harshly rejects me addressing me as homie saying she’s not interested in being in a relationship with me & I didn’t say anything. She then texts me back at 1 in the morning saying sorry that sounded rude that was my friends who sent that also I’m seeing the guy I was initially interested in hoping we can still be friends. I replied two days later saying I’d appreciate some space thanks. She is now harassing/bullying me at work telling everyone about the situation. It is true I should’ve stopped after the first no and I deeply re...

It wasn't really experimenting. I was just a dumbass who tries to force things.

/u/Space_Ace_8492 on Romantic attraction or not?

Ooh weird! Well, pretty sure I’ve never felt anything like that! But about the original post, to expand on my reply. It’s definitely possible that you could feel certain attractions to women, and others toward men. I get aesthetic and sensual attraction towards men, but I don’t want a romantic relationship with them. Just being close friends is nice, so I can talk to them and hang out with them or whatever. Or just stare at their pretty faces 😅 (too creepy? Lol) I’ve had instances of quite strong sensual attraction towards men, and I thought it was romantic attraction at the time because I didn’t know any different. March 30, 2021 at 11:35PM

/u/Coffee_andcake on Romantic attraction or not?

It's sort of weird to describe. I suppose sometimes I see someone, and I'm just intensely drawn to and attracted to them. I want to know more about them, I quickly become infatuated with them and even if I know nothing about them and they're not even my preference for aesthetic attractiveness I'll be hanging off their every word. It is kind of weird and rereading my own words feels like when I read those weird definitions of sexual attraction and think there's no way that can exist but it apparently does March 30, 2021 at 11:23PM

/u/Thornescape on So...am I ace

Asexuality is very specifically about not experiencing sexual attraction towards others. That's the entire deal. If you don't experience sexual attraction towards others, you're asexual. It's not all that complicated, really. It doesn't matter why. Could be trauma, hormones, or you were just always that way. Cause is irrelevant to the label. Asexuality has nothing to do with: romantic attraction, kissing, cuddling, gender preferences, masturbation, porn, kinks, or actually having sex. It's just about sexual attraction towards others. Some sex repulsed asexuals will use porn or masturbate even though they'd have no interest in the real thing, because with fantasy you can skip the stuff you wouldn't like in reality. The asexual spectrum basically sort of goes --- Sex Repulsed: Usually avoid sex --- #1: Repulsed by comments about sex or others having sex #2: Repulsed by the reality of having sex personally #3: Willing to have sex, but may be disguste...

/u/Thornescape on Dealing with virgin shame

One could imagine that some shame could be involved if you spent all your time and energy attempting to have sex, but failing. I could imagine how that could be considered a failure, if you made that your goal in life. The real sad part is that they can't comprehend that someone might not have that as their goal in life. Often the person doing the mocking is really only revealing their own inadequacies. It's like someone trying to mock me for being a SJW. Sure, there are idiot SJWs out there, as with any group, but I will always wear the label of SJW with pride. March 29, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/Sky_maiden on Not sure if I ever experienced sexual attraction.

Agreed on both those facts (cake is good too :3) Remember some things like what your attractions are can be a 'slow click'. You may dismiss it in the start only to slowly realize that it might be the case. At least that's what happened to me haha (took me 2 years). Also my parents haven't even wondered as well. My country has really low awareness on these things and dating was not the norm for my parents. That's why they just assume I'm just a normal person and have never questioned me lol.

/u/Sky_maiden on Feeling extra broken tonight

I feel you! You should look into QPR(Queer platonic relationships) or try to find people who identify as the same labels as you. Of course you can find what you want in any kind of partner but typically this is easier to do as you don't really need to worry about differences in expectation. Idk how to find these people tho lol I'm confused myself. I'm actually ace/aro and still want certain aspects of a relationship without the sex and other ewww sounding aspects since that sounds really nice tbh. That's why I found the concept of QPR so nice!

/u/Del_Nyo on Not Asexuality but still important

As an Arkansas Demi, I can confirm that there is a law being passed for minors. It would prevent minors from getting surgery or hormones to transition, the law would not citizens over the age of 18 from hormone therapy or surgery. The bill is designed to prevent trans youth from totally transitioning at a young age. While Arkansas is not the best state when it comes to LGBT, most people are more moderate, and a lot of young people in the state, many of who lean more conservative, can plainly see that some laws passed by our state are wrong. I hope in the future we can get the more egregious laws repealed. March 27, 2021 at 11:57PM

Sexual attraction (as it's been described to me) feels like this: That girl is so pretty!!! I want to have sex with her so badly!!! Some aces confuse sexual attraction with asethetic attraction, which feels like this: That girl is so pretty!!! So you if you see someone and want to have sex with them based on appearance, that's sexual attraction. If you only feel a little bit of sexual attraction, then you may want to look into grayasexuality :) March 27, 2021 at 11:48PM

I mean, lesbian and ace woman coding overlap, because in a heteronormative society, it's noticeable when a woman doesn't show interest in men. I also tend to see her as aroace, but I'm hardly going to blame the people who read her as lesbian. We all have scraps for rep, and fighting over them helps none of us. March 27, 2021 at 11:46PM

I would actually argue that we haven't seen a strictly sexual Disney princess either, except for Ariel, the only Disney Princess to have a child(to my recollection, which should be better than this, considering my massive love of Disney). Most of them we know are at least heteroromantic, or biromantic; the ones we have no idea about are Elsa(who isn't technically part of the Disney Princess line), Merida, and Moana, none of which have had a partner in their films or even shown interest in one(especially Merida). I should also say, it's clear that most of them are supposed to be heterosexual, but most of them Disney could easily retcon and it changes nothing about the stories. March 27, 2021 at 11:38PM

/u/peakwoof on I hear about people who have gone through so much because they weren't aware of asexuality, and it makes me feel so very grateful that I encountered this term so early and that I have so many people in this community to look up to

I was one of those asexual teens who thought they were broken and forced themselves into a sexual situation to "figure things" out. It went as well as you could imagine. It was so obvious at the time. If someone told me about asexuality I probably would have avoided a lot of suffering. I think it is important to make teens aware of every possible sexual identity so they can more easily figure out things for themselves instead of spending years in agony. Thinking they're broken or abnormal and living through life not knowing if anyone else is like them. March 26, 2021 at 11:54PM

It's crazy to me that people are being taught about useless bs they'll forget as soon as it isn't required to pass, but actually useful information, like the fact that there is such a thing as asexuality and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them if they don't feel attraction to people, is out of program. You must remember the formula for calculating volume of a cone, but you are not told that not being attracted to anyone is totally ok and you are not broken, incomplete, lacking, or any less of a person then other people. What you feel or don't feel is just as valid as every other person's feelings and preferences. The mere fact that this is something we need to address is telling everything that needs to be said...

Yeah in sex ed at my old school, the teacher said "One day, you'll get the urge to fall in love, marry and have sex and have children." Someone asked "What if you don't want to?" Teachers reply: "No. You definitely will." But I don't. So what? Am I broken? March 26, 2021 at 11:38PM

/u/gtickno2 on I do think about sex a lot but sometimes the sight genitalia and the thought of having to interact with it disgusts me

Could be having sexual attraction but with sex repulsion. I think that's a thing that can happen sometimes My other guess would be aegosexuality.

My first DnD character was a Warforged who was aro-ace before I ever knew I was, and saw gender as a useless concept he didn‘t care about only using male pronouns for simplicities sake (his body resembled that of a typical humanoid male, and also I‘m male, so it made it easier for me). And while I don‘t consider myself agender, I only realized a few weeks ago that I subconsciously gave him my own identity (partially identifies as male because of biological sex, but don‘t really see gender/gender identity as a thing that is super applicable to me) March 26, 2021 at 11:36PM

I wish I knew when I was 16. I knew I was bisexual but something still didn't feel right. I never was interested back then and I forced myself to be interested. I hated that fact. I am 30 now and I am finally feeling comfortable with myself. The only time I am interested is once every five years or more.

When I landed on her I was like "WOW, I beg you, please, don't mess this up [my name]." Anyway, I initiated the first message and she responded how I would have expected.We've been talking but there are some things that make me doubt myself and I'm constantly overthinking. It's REALLY annoying. She replies, but sometimes it takes many minutes to hours for her to reply. She does reply in full, like long paragraphs (equal to my messages in size). But not always. Sometimes the answer is just "hahaha nicee" She never asks me anything, in fact she has only asked me one thing since we started. Which was how I was doing, lol. I asked her if I could get her Insta or any other social media so we could continue to ta...

/u/NoHeresyHere on Does anyone else find that a lot of online ace spaces are a little... cringe?

Yeah, I know what you mean. The memes and jokes and constant references to garlic bread and cake and all that get stale pretty quickly. I'm more interested in talking to other ace people, especially guys, around my age, people who I can relate to, and go over the issues of being ace, or even just talk about our experiences. As a teenager, being ace as a teenager and being ace as an adult are two very different things in my experiences. You trade one set of issues for another, and while some things stay the same, in many ways they don't. I'd love to talk about that, but it's hard to find a place for good discussion. I think I've gone past the point of finding out who I am and what that means and entering the point in life where I'm working with it. I'll always be happy to talk to you if you wanna chat with another adult. March 25, 2021 at 11:57PM

I’m glad I’m not like that!” It strikes me as super immature that you’re judging people by the fact that they have sex Ace people have sex too believe it or not I know I’ve unfollowed people on social media over it cause it’s just so bad.

You're conflicted, and because you don't understand their feelings you're trying even harder to protect them. I've been bored of my relationships before and didn't want to end it because I know that some of them had genuine feelings for me. Feelings I couldn't understand, and I didn't want to. I used intentionally sabotage relationships because I was bored of them and wanted it to end without being the one to end it. Which was actually very dickish of me. So trust me, you are better than me in that regard. You want to protect their feelings, I want to slowly kill them until they end it.

This Harry Potter character is definitely demisexual. He has two relationships: Cho and Ginny. Cho works because of a shared suffering about Cedric's death, and he's not really in it, anyway. Ginny... well, do I have to explain this? Long term friend, sister of his best friend, basically his sister, but removed enough so it's fine. And the whole "Hermione... you're a girl" thing from before the ball in 4? Definitely ace vibes. I mean, imagine you're in a school with magic and you're the one with all the burden. How does a straight male in puberty not have relationships here? Answer: He's not straight - he's ace (demi, if you want to be precise). A lot of stories have this concept they want to be the ideal relationship; this concept of waiting for the right person and being committed, and it leads to the characters not having meaningless relationships along the way - which really is just culminating in demi behaviour in the end.

This may not be an option for you, depending on where you live, but if there are any near you I would recommend looking for any geography-based ace groups that might be near you, and then seeing if they have any online presence. As I've gotten older and more secure in my ace identity, I've spent a lot more time in my local group's chat (as opposed to other larger online communities) because it seems a bit more grounded and seems like it has a wider range of ages and interests. It's also easier to have more serious discussions in smaller groups where you have a chance to actually get to know each other - many other online ace spaces are just way too big and too busy for that. As for whether ace spaces are kinda cringe....sure, they are sometimes, but tbh not more than any other big online community with a lot of young people. So I think that's less a symptoms of an ace thing and more a sign that I'm just become older and less hip with whatever is popular with t...

I'm going off what little I could glean: She doxxed people, and her father is a paedophile. She did a bunch of shady things as a Reddit admin, and it took months of people complaining (and getting banned for speaking out against her) to get her fired. Reddit came out and apologised, said they didn't do a good enough background check on who she was, etc. But, the way I see it, they only fired her because the fire got too hot underneath their asses.No different from any other social website that digs its nails in and refuses to fire paedophiles / paedo sympathisers until the controversy doesn't blow over. Someone also commented that her father posted paedophilic Tweets (that got deleted), and molested a 10 year old. I can't vet if that's true though. March 24, 2021 at 11:47PM

OP on your second point regarding your mother, maybe take a quick peek at r/raisedbynarcissists and do a touch of reading from some of the stories there. I know it may seem like jumping to conclusions but for your own sake take a look. You may surprise yourself if the stories there sound like mom. In terms of your parents finding out before you’re ready I’m afraid I can’t offer any advice there. Hopefully someone else will be able to but in my experience non-asexual/aromantic people tend to have a hard time wrapping their heads around the idea of not experiencing sexual and/or romantic attraction since most of the world is obsessed with those two things it comes across as utterly foreign that someone doesn’t feel those things. Again if they find out you’re Aro-Ace I hope for your sake that you have someone you can go to even in these times to help you out. March 24, 2021 at 11:36PM

I had a partner before figuring out I was ace and felt pressured into having sex. Both directly by my partner, and the whole social norm that you're "meant to" in heteronormative relationships. Yeah it's not a pleasant situation to be in. Seeing a therapist definitely sounds like it might be helpful for you. Being pressured into sex is an issue in itself so might be possible to just talk about that if concerned about therapist not understanding about asexuality. March 23, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/GreyVonFray on Done things I didn't want to do.

I'm sorry you had to go through these experiences. Pressure from someone who says they love you can be too real sometimes. Even if a therapist doesn't understand fully asexuality, some of them do have experience with sexual trauma leading to the idea of their clients never wanting sex again even if they are not asexual. Hopefully OP finds a patient therapist like this. March 23, 2021 at 11:45PM

/u/NoisyTummy on Could Tolkien's Beren and Luthien tale be an ace romantic love story?

This, but imo Beren and Luthien’s might actually be the most “erotic” of the love stories. I’m basing this on the fact that during their meetings there’s a lot of focusing on each other’s beauty, body movements and particular features; and while that could be aesthetic attraction, I find it indicative that it’s even more prominent than the one between Turin and Nienor (whose attraction brought to involuntary incest) But hey, Tolkien is very ace friendly overall, I don’t see why the characters might not be ace :) March 23, 2021 at 11:16PM

I get what you mean, I'm only really out to close people that know about it and understand. I didn't really have any big declaration that I was ace to them either, I just made myself an ace themed bracelet and one of my friends asked if it was supposed to be the ace flag. I'm really glad that they noticed and that all my friends are so supportive, but I don't think I'll come out to my family unless I'm at my wit's end about them asking who my significant other is. I'm still kind of young so I probably have a good few years still before anyone notices my lack of romantic partners. It makes me glad that my dad is pretty 'its not really any of my business' kind of person and hasn't asked me yet. March 23, 2021 at 11:15PM

/u/Rigga-Goo-Goo on Am I asexual?

I don't think you're necessarily too young to identify as ace, but I do think you should keep in mind that asexuality (sexuality in general) can be fluid (definitely not always, but sometimes). It might be something you currently identify with and maybe having the label of it is helpful. But in the future as you're exposed to more people, more experiences, and just learn more about yourself in general, perhaps it'll change. And that's all okay. Maybe you're a "late bloomer," maybe you'll meet someone someday and completely feel differently about sex, or maybe as you get older you'll feel more confident than ever that your asexual. If you're questioning it, I think time and experience is really what will make you feel more confident about it. Try not to get hung up on it. Do things because you want to, not because you feel like it's a milestone or like you're "supposed to." If you continue to feel like it's nothing...

Not enjoying sex is different from sexual attraction. You may or may not be asexual. I think you need to do some self reflection and think about things for awhile. Read the about tab wiki. Edit: just saw your post from 11 days ago about depression. So the presence depression could have affected your emotional response to sex. If you cannot get out of this funk, you may need to see a therapist. March 22, 2021 at 11:20PM

I [35M] give up. How do I find women who are attracted to my money?

Since my last relationship dating has been going poorly. Just... so. many. first. dates. I've relaxed my standards way beyond where I started. I've decided to just go ahead and relax them to 1) good person and 2) there is a universe in which I could see us having sex. I don't want to continue living my life alone. I'm a little overweight but on the whole I'm a good looking guy. I have interesting hobbies, strong values and I emphasize giving back. But since that's apparently not enough, the other thing I have going is that I've been professionally successful and have a seven figure net worth. Other than dressing well and wearing a nice watch this isn't something I outright talk about IRL. But I'm assuming there are plenty of people who prioritize financial security or maybe people who have had a difficult time getting by who this would be a big plus for. At the same time, I'm not looking for a sugar baby situation. So I'm not really sure h...

What should i do from here?

I(20M) been seeing this girl(19F) for a few months. We met in a friends' party and i thought she was amazing so i texted her a few days later to get to know her. We texted a lot and got to know each other very well i guess and i fell in love with her for everything she actually is. We used to meet each other a couple times a week but i never made any move nor did she, i like to have everything settled down before i make the move since i've had some previous relationships that were hurtful. Anyway, 3 weeks ago after we met, I said I wanted to talk to her, i had to make the move since it wasnt bearable for me anymore not to say anything and i confessed my feelings towards her. I asked her to be honest, if she didnt like my just tell me, it's fine, i just wanted to know where to go from there with my life. She said the problem wasnt in the feelings she had for me, because she liked me as well, but the future and what she's going through right now. We discussed the future...

[19M] I am wondering if I should go my own way

A month ago I left my girlfriend because she was being controlling and it began to take its toll on my other relationships with friends and family. I learned a lot about myself. I took a month of reflection, and I began to wonder if it is possible for someone like me to ever find someone compatible. I came across this movement called MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way), and although depressing, it made me realize how some of my relationships fell apart. When I realized that there was some truth to it, I read more about it. And was depressed to find that members of MGTOW adamantly believe that men should not date women. This made me lose a bit of hope. I'm a pretty independent person, and while I like having romantic relations with women, I often find that they don't allow me my own time or space at all. I don't know if that's just how all romantic relationships are? I spend pretty much all of my time indoors because it's cold where I live. So maybe it's just the re...

/u/Traditional-Ad7717 on What's your view on marriage? How has it changed with time?

I believe in marriage in the sense that if two people love eachother, and want legal rights to each others assets, they can and should get married. I also believe when having children, it’s better to be married in the sense that the child has two legal guardians and a stable family structure. I’m not religious, but I can also understand marriage in the religious sense. That being said, I believe legal marriage is a system that is being severely abused and needs to be revamped. I am a firm believer that if someone decided to get married, it’s a contract for life, and divorce should be considered a last resort, except in the cases of abuse. So many people use the system of marriage to gain citizenship or tax benefits when they don’t deserve it (I understand a lot of people use the citizenship and tax benefits to pull themselves out of a bad situation, and I can sympathize with them, but see it as an issue with the immigration and tax system that needs to be addressed.

/u/Lilacs_orchids on is not wanting to have genitals a sex repulsed ace thing?

Not for me. I think it’s separate from being ace, but I have always wished I didn’t have breasts. That was the main thing I thought “it would be nice if they didn’t exist.” but overall I didn’t particularly like any changes from puberty except for height. Learning about my genitalia didn’t matter that much to me, in comparison to my feelings towards my breasts, since I never even realized it existed before and it was very easy to not think about exept around that time of month. Personally, I thought having a Ken-doll anatomy would be sort of closer to my ideal one in that it has no physically sexual characteristics (primary or secondary), is taller, and has more muscles. But, I don’t think this has much to do with either my gender or sexual orientation other than the fact that since I would never want to have sex, I don’t even have to worry about losing sexual appeal if these things didn’t exist. They are mostly useless and sometimes a nusiance but nothing like any gender dsyphoria. I...

It's important to realize that some people will never ever in their entire lives admit that asexuality is real, no matter what you say or do. This is just the reality that we live in. It happens. It's good to inform people that you care about. It's good to give them the facts. It's also good to realize that some people will never believe and you just have to walk away.

/u/Thornescape on Good ring materials?

On most job sites I've been on you aren't allowed to wear rings because they can get caught on things and (gruesome details omitted). Silicone rings are good for avoiding that problem as well. March 20, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/allo100 on Does anyone else flip-flop between feeling aromantic and not-aromantic?

You didn't state your sexuality. But your comment suggests you are aromantic asexual. Is your partner aromantic asexual, or are they alloromantic allosexual? March 20, 2021 at 11:40PM

/u/Noisegarden135 on My ace ring finally came!!! Just kidding it's sharpie. Does anyone know the best place to get an ace ring that's either adjustable or custom size?

Silicone seems to be a popular recommendation. Thank you for the advice! March 20, 2021 at 11:34PM

I’m very confused is this like a play or something written by Ryan north in like Shakespeare style March 20, 2021 at 11:33PM

/u/HistoricallyRekkles on Anyone else get the whole “but you’re super attractive, there’s no way you can be asexual!”

Yup! People would tell me I’m lying because it’s not “normal”. I’m like clearly you can’t accept me for who I am so you can fuck off now. Don’t ever let other people determine your worth! March 20, 2021 at 11:33PM

/u/Variance__ on My ace ring finally came!!! Just kidding it's sharpie. Does anyone know the best place to get an ace ring that's either adjustable or custom size?

I got a silicone ring on Amazon. It’s stretchy and I can leave it on when I wash my hands. March 20, 2021 at 11:33PM

/u/ZanyDragons on Anyone else get the whole “but you’re super attractive, there’s no way you can be asexual!”

I got a lot more confident in college when my roommate enacted an at-first-joking but then serious ban on talking badly about our bodies. A small thing, but it finally made me feel more at home in my own skin after a few months living with her, we’re still close even after graduating now. I try to make myself strong now and wear what I feel is flattering, and if people get mad that I’m ace and they don’t have a chance with me I’ve grown to learn that’s 100% their problem and not my fault. (Sucks that I had to learn that as an adult but, better late than never) March 20, 2021 at 11:31PM

Somehow that passage was funny even though I did not laugh. March 20, 2021 at 11:29PM

/u/HistoricallyRekkles on Anyone else get the whole “but you’re super attractive, there’s no way you can be asexual!”

It’s awful :( I’m so sorry you had to go through that. We women get objectified so much and it starts as a child. This is what people need to understand and why it’s not ok! March 20, 2021 at 11:27PM

/u/ZanyDragons on Anyone else get the whole “but you’re super attractive, there’s no way you can be asexual!”

Feels more like to the eyes of some folks, attractive people aren’t sexual beings so much as sexual objects . I was bullied when I was younger over my chest size and how even wearing normal t-shirts and jeans I was “intentionally” trying to get “attention”/distracting people, etc. when I was just like... existing in a space and usually trying to keep my head down. But my body was distracting by some weirdo accident of nature, beauty norms, and fat distribution so clearly I was the bad guy? Idk never made much sense to me even as a child.

/u/Jumpyropes on Anyone else get the whole “but you’re super attractive, there’s no way you can be asexual!”

Right?? Why do people think that's a compelling argument? Like no the fuck you won't, buddy. Stay away from me. March 20, 2021 at 11:23PM

Trigger warning sex: There's probably some place on earth where people are talking about a casual session like it's lunch. "Hey Dave, are you free for a quick business call?" "Yeah let me squeeze one out real quick I'll be right there." March 19, 2021 at 11:57PM

/u/soft_idiot on Was this aphobia or am I being sensitive?

I think that it is aphobia. Maybe the person that says that is not trying to hurt anybody or trying to be mean. But the thing is what that phrase is the same as "u can't like other people of ur same gender, the natural thing is a girl with a boy" We are all valid, there's not such thing like "natural sexualities" (with some exceptions) March 19, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/AdrianaSage on I need help, please

I'm heteroromantic ace so my experience is going to be somewhat different from those who are aromantic. But basically I would get crushes on boys, but they always remained PG rated. I would like the thought of kissing a guy or holding his hands, but my fantasies toward the guys I liked didn't go much further than that. I also just didn't think to check out men's bodies. Other women will ooh and ahh over the picture of a shirtless fireman, and I don't understand what they're talking about. Or they'll be able to name a body part of a man they find sexy, and I won't be able to relate at all. I just don't find any part of a man's body sexy. Oddly enough, I can say a woman's boobs are sexy because I will notice that when I look at female swimsuit models. It doesn't make me want to keep looking at female swimsuit models though. I've also never found myself looking at a woman in real life and checking out any part of her body. Nor have I ...
