/u/ryukohime on what is the term for this?

I think that's aegosexual, but I'm not aego myself so I'm not 100% sure on it? August 01, 2021 at 12:01AM

/u/mousse_moo on Some guy I was talking to told me it's biologically impossible to be ace.

i'm sorry that happened. asexuality is 100% real and you are completely valid <3 July 31, 2021 at 11:59PM

/u/FoxaeKingOfTheFoxes on How were you able to comprehend or label your sexuality before you learned there was such a thing as “ace”?

I thought I was bi for a long time before I learned I was biromantic. Didn’t even know til recently about split attraction July 31, 2021 at 11:58PM

That he deserves to be slapped with a wet cold fish I think July 31, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/justobsolete on Coworkers pressuring me to date. Should I out myself as ace at work?

"No, thanks" or "you're right; I would like to keep that private" are fine if you don't want to come out. You can if you want, though. July 31, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/JinkyRain on How do you tell if you find someone aestheticly attractive?

Aesthetic attraction: Wanting to BE them more than you want to BE WITH them. :D July 31, 2021 at 11:50PM

I'm going to say this aswell July 31, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/LunarBlonde on Some guy I was talking to told me it's biologically impossible to be ace.

Ever notice that whenever someone cites 'biology' as a reason that you shouldn't exist, that that person doesn't actually know a damn thing about biology? July 31, 2021 at 11:45PM

/u/communist-orchestra on How were you able to comprehend or label your sexuality before you learned there was such a thing as “ace”?

I had to do a lot of thinking and go throught 4 years of abuse( a mix of all kinds you choose your probably right), and I just kinda put together that “ yeah sex is cool but I would die for my friends and I care more about that then sex or anything like that”( also I want to get a job so other don’t go throught what o have). I just never saw a reason for it or cared for it Btw in Demi-sexual and polyamorous just for context July 31, 2021 at 11:43PM

/u/anm_jones on Do non aros feel romantic attraction to a stranger? What’s it like?

Oh I'm so glad! It can get confusing but as you said, it becomes clear when you realize you haven't thought about sex with them or are motivated to have it. It's all romance and feeling lovely! I so agree with what you said about the potential bond—I recently experienced a "Woah! Can't stop thinking about them" romantic attraction last month and it went away the second I learned more about them. If I know the person well though it can stick around for a long time.

/u/yuxngdogmom on Some guy I was talking to told me it's biologically impossible to be ace.

Bio major here. Science validates the existence of asexuality. So basically everyone who says that it’s biologically impossible to be ace is proudly flaunting their ignorance. July 31, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/shane_rhys_williams on How were you able to comprehend or label your sexuality before you learned there was such a thing as “ace”?

Ever since I found out that others experienced sexual attraction, I thought that something was wrong with me, until I mentioned my lack of attraction to a friend who told me about asexuality five months ago. July 31, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/madrmarc on Some guy I was talking to told me it's biologically impossible to be ace.

Wow, your answer is great! July 31, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/tall-hobbit- on I like the IDEA of romance and maybe even physical contact, but in reality I don’t find anyone attractive (ie aesthetic) enough to even consider it?

I'm concerned what you mean at the end? "It's a real shitty place to be because you're kinda at a dead end" there's nothing wrong with being fictosexual. But yes, it does sound like you are somewhere on the ace spectrum. If fictosexual feels like it fits you, cool! Use that label then. If it doesn't fit, that's also valid and there are plenty of other labels out there July 31, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/OxygenBomb on Coworkers pressuring me to date. Should I out myself as ace at work?

/u/3Dprintedbean on I'm 16 and I'm romantically and aesthetically attracted to this 20 y/o guy

This. If you are meant to be together, in two or three years, then you can make contact with him again and consider dating if it feels mutual July 31, 2021 at 11:33PM

/u/Allyluvsu13 on I came out to my husband. What a nightmare.

That’s funny because it’s the opposite for me. My friend, my mom and my boyfriend were all asexual and I didn’t really know anyone of any other sexuality lol. I was the only Bi person I knew. July 30, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/Kiwi_Lemon_Person on I thought we were supposed to be inclusive

I was only used that term because of the context of the thread I saw July 30, 2021 at 11:57PM

/u/CherryBerries3218 on I came out to my mother and went as I expected.

Same age here, came out to my mother the better part of a year ago and she doesn’t believe asexuality is a real thing. She also told me she thinks I haven’t found the right person yet and also told me sex and sexual desire is part of what makes us human. She still keeps on making side comments about birth control and getting a boyfriend and so on, it’s annoying. July 30, 2021 at 11:57PM

/u/preciousillusion on Anyone else doesn't like being perceived as sexy?

I actively try to avoid thinking about anyone being sexually attracted to me. It makes me uncomfortable so as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t happen. July 30, 2021 at 11:57PM

/u/Kiwi_Lemon_Person on I thought we were supposed to be inclusive

I personally don’t call myself a “straight ace.” I use the term heteroromantic. Since it means being attracted to the opposite gender only romantically. It just makes more sense July 30, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/Dryadalis3 on Anyone else doesn't like being perceived as sexy?

Now that I think about it: Same. I would definitely not be comfortable with someone imagining that with me (I never really thought about it before since I don't think like that so the thought seems foreign to me). July 30, 2021 at 11:53PM

/u/Echo_Of_Venus on Anyone else doesn't like being perceived as sexy?

I'm exactly the same. I let my hair go long and messy, and wear cheap hoodies and jeans because I don't want anyone finding me attractive or desirable for my appearance. I don't think I'm a particularly attractive guy to begin with, but every bit helps. I guess it becomes like a test to see who can actually look past my appearance and see me for who I actually am.

/u/Joakim1881 on Anyone else that just want to be normal?

Yupp, I've never been diagnosed with anything but when I talked to the school councillor I was told I had forced thoughts so I think I know how you feel. I probably also have some manner of autisme but then again self diagnosis doesn't lead to anything good. July 30, 2021 at 11:51PM

/u/some_strange_circus on Anyone else that just want to be normal?

Yeah, sometimes. I'm also on the autism spectrum and have PTSD, and those both come with their own myriad of issues when it comes to connecting with other people, and sometimes my asexuality feels like just another barrier to me being able to blend in. I try very hard to let those thoughts pass because I know they're not helpful for me. July 30, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/lenathealien on Anyone else doesn't like being perceived as sexy?

My mom would probably think it’s a disease if it said it like that July 30, 2021 at 11:45PM

/u/StinkyPeePeeSauce on What point are we trying to make by being included in LGBT? If everything that is "not straight" is LGBT, then aren't we segregating everything from heterosexuals?

The fact they have not had to live their lives in fear of knowing that they could be fired from work, or hell even murdered in the streets for being the “wrong” sexual orientation is their pride parade. Also, you talk about kids caring about what’s happening now. Right now, in some parts of the world, you can be imprisoned for being ace. Right now, in our world, you can be sent to conversion therapy if you’re ace. Right now, you could experience corrective rape for being ace. Do straight people experience things just as queer folk have? No. We can talk about straight pride when we have our fuckin liberties in tact. July 30, 2021 at 11:45PM

/u/sreymydna on Is it normal to be scared to not be asexual?

I've been considering that I've not in fact been hetero my whole life and may be pan. But since I feel the same way towards all genders I just don't know for sure either way July 30, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/PitifulMistake1665 on defining asexuality and label usage: in response to a recent claim that the ace community is becoming an “exclusionary group”

I agree that sex-averse people and asexuals have some similar experiences, such as people shaming them for not wanting sex. But at the end of the day, sex-aversion and asexuality are not the same thing. One is a sexual aversion, the other is a sexual orientation. Anyone of any sexuality can be sex-averse, and there certainly is a negative bias against those who are sex-averse. So I have nothing against standing together in solidarity. But at the end of the day, they are two vastly different things. Asexuals are discriminated against in a different way, even if said discrimination is somewhat similar to that against sex-averse individuals. July 30, 2021 at 11:36PM

Double standards. The different treatment to men and women for being promiscuous.

The conversation I had today was probably the most interesting one I had in a long time. It was judgement free, no name calling... which is always refreshing. It was interesting because each one of the men and women I was talking with had very strong views and valid points, and anywhere other than that room, they'd have been grilled as you guys can imagine so I'll just summarise it. We were talking about sexual liberation and it somehow led to the double standard. One of the ladies said how bs the fact that men are praised and women are shamed for the same thing is. I, as a man, agreed. I don't think they should be shamed. One of the men also agreed with that but touched on the reason why men are praised (among each other) and women aren't. He said that it is no secret that generally speaking, women have pretty much zero difficulty if what they want is just sex, in which pretty much everyone agreed, and men do know that it is a complete different ball game for them....

My girlfriend keeps her clothes on during sex.

I’ve asked her if she can take her clothes off, and she’s reluctant to do it. She has a good body from what I can tell, so I’m not seeing a reason why she would want to keep her clothes on. The most she has undressed was being in panties and a T-shirt, but I want to see her naked. Does anybody know what could possibly be the reason? All she gives me is that she doesn’t want to; and no I’m not pressuring her to do it. Submitted July 30, 2021 at 10:55PM I’ve asked her if she can take her clothes off, and she’s reluctant to do it.

/u/injusticehasbeendone on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

I am watching am older anime called Shiro Bakko right now (white box) and there isn't any romance in sight. It's just a bunch of young women trying to follow their passion and make Anime. If you like slice of life Anime I highly recommend it. July 30, 2021 at 12:01AM

/u/injusticehasbeendone on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

That's not forced romance, that's the "women as reward" trope. July 29, 2021 at 11:59PM

/u/injusticehasbeendone on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

I am exactly the same way. Incest revulsion is triggered for me by people who grew up as siblings and went through puberty together. It results in some weird opinions.. For example I am comfortable with the idea of Captain Jack Harkness meeting himself or the relationship in the Loki TV series (though I was hoping it was just platonic or romantic). BUT the idea of Iris and Barry in CWs The Flash makes me want to throw up in my mouth. It's worse because Detective West who raised Barry from 10 and is a great father to Barry also ships that.🤢 July 29, 2021 at 11:54PM

/u/poisonthefairies on Maybe I'm greysexual? Doubts about sexual attraction

By "trying out" the label you mean embracing it as a way of defining myself while I figure everything out? I guess it makes sense. But I just kind of feel my orientation and my "position" on the ace spectrum too vague yet to take on one label or the other. Maybe just "asexual" feels vague enough for me if I think about it in that sense. At least for now. July 29, 2021 at 11:52PM

/u/injusticehasbeendone on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

It really depends. I think that romance for younger people is fine since younger often people do feel romance and in fact during adolescent it's a big deal and learning to navigate romantic and sexual relationships is a large part of growing up for a large number of people. I do think that there is an over focus on romance based on the percentage of stories where it is the sole focus vs the percentage of stories that don't focus or include it at all. I think you only need to be worried about liking youth romance if you are an adult that finds it romantically or sexually titillating rather than sweet, nice, relatable, or neutral. Also maybe if consuming it turns you into the "nosey aunt" of the young people in your actual life (aka obsession with pairing off people, specifically young people). July 29, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/RadiantHC on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

I would also recommend Hilda. It gave a similar vibe. I would disagree with the the Aang and Katara relationship being detrimental to the plot I thought it was fine not super interesting but it's a decent representation of a young relationship. Both characters make mistakes and there are some tropes which are flimsy premises for plot. My main problem with it is that I hate the "main protagonist finds true love" trope, especially if it's their first love. Most people don't marry their first crush. July 29, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/theprozacfairy on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

I’m a fan of Ducktales 2017, and one of my fave things is that there is no romance between the kids! There are some romantic relationships among the adults, but they’re not important. Friendship and family are much more important to the central theme and plot. July 29, 2021 at 11:40PM

/u/injusticehasbeendone on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

I caught myself doing that and stopped before it got too bad. For me it was like "I like both these kids and think they will grow to be wonderful people. I also like their families. It would be convenient if when they grew up and got married it could be to each other and I wouldn't have to worry about them making poor partner choices or meeting unfortunately awful in laws. Heck even getting to know a decent other family is a lot of work." July 29, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/Lagtim3 on PSA

Hey, not a problem! It's elating to know you're not alone, especially after awhile of feeling like you're strange in a way that others can't quite relate to (at least, that's how it was for me.) Finding community can be really validating. Joining this sub has actually helped me discover more about myself. I doubted my sexuality for a long time because of my interest in kink, before learning that the two aren't mutually exclusive at all. Finally shucking that 'imposter-syndrome' feeling does wonders for one's self confidence. I'm not sure how new you are to this sub, but welcome! This is a great sub for asking questions, so don't be afraid to make a post if you've got any. July 29, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/Jumpyropes on should i really anticipate it going away?

It may change, it may not. I thought I was pansexual at that age, turns out I'm panromantic asexual actually. That doesn't mean you will change your mind though, it just means that things can change. That doesn't make you any less asexual now. You've found a label that makes you feel right, and that's what's important. If I had been told "oh, you'll grow out of that" when I was identifying as pan, I would have been pissed! The unfortunate thing is, many people will try to invalidate your identity at any age. 20s and younger, youre just a late bloomer. 30s - 40s, you just haven't found the right person yet. 50s and up, theyll just say there's something mentally wrong with you. There's no winning with those types of people. So just live your life as you are now. You may change your identity as you grow, or you may realize you were right from the beginning. Whatever happens, you are valid in who you are. July 29, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/injusticehasbeendone on I hate the romance trope even in child animations

Generally when I see this, I like to think it is show runners trying to tell kids that age that all their attempts at mimicking of adult relationships is okay. Kids who are 4 will mimick having a relationship quite often even if all they watched was sesame Street which is pretty much a no romance zone despite having established couples. Mostly kids struggle declare "this person is my partner" and really just proceed to be exclusive friends but call each other by special names and go on fake dates. Its a lot like playing house really. Certainly there are probably some kids who get romantic crushes at 4 but mostly, in my experience it is just role play. July 29, 2021 at 11:34PM

/u/Rigga-Goo-Goo on PSA

The best way to describe it is when you have a craving for food (lets go with chocolate). Only with sexual attraction your "craving" is to engage in sexual activity with someone. Personally, I don't really care about chocolate but if someone gives me something, when I eat it I can enjoy it (that's being sex favorable). It's usually never something I have a craving for, except rarely.... rarely I can't think about anything but eating some chocolate. Like, I'm going to go to the store right now and load up on some because I need it. That's being grey. The baseline is feeling nothing but with specific circumstances (or a random breeze) it can turn into a craving. At least, that's how I experience sexual attraction (obviously not the same for everyone). This is going to be intentionally crude, but basically there will be a guy who catches my eye and I can't stop thinking about sitting on his dick. It's crude because that's what my brain...

/u/justhereforethebants on asexuality and religion

haha that’s so true! i love what you said about the atmosphere being one where you are encouraged to turn down sex but now that’s not what they want...oh please don’t apologise for the response i really appreciate it, it’s exactly what i was curious about July 29, 2021 at 11:31PM

/u/MortyDC137 on These popped up on my Instagram feed and they give off so much Ace energy (credits to the artist @neilkohney on Instagram)

Yeah i was 16 when it started and it ended 10 months ago. I relate so much. I just worry that he might coerce someone else to have sex with him too. I dont want anyone to feel like that. It's weird I'm only looking to date people on the ace spectrum now. I'm usung the experience to identify red flags in other people and relstionships July 29, 2021 at 11:27PM

For your own safety (since internet creeps are everywhere), NEVER put your real age and gender on the internet. Never share personal info--even innocuous information like a single age or gender is a no-go. I know plenty of people do it, but don't be them. July 29, 2021 at 11:24PM

/u/Radiant__Allomancer on There was a previous poll on this so I decided to make one with specifics - kissing, how do you feel about it

Well, I’m aro-spec ace, and I love cuddling and hugs and platonic kisses on the cheeks, forehead, pecks on the lips, back of my hand, holding hands, etc., so long as I know that it’s literally all platonic and there are no romantic nor sexual feelings on the other person’s part, because if there were I’d become uncomfortable being around them, let alone touching. I’m lucky that a lot of my close friends are also of this mindset and enjoy expressing totally platonic friendship in this way too. Unlucky because we live on opposite ends of the country now.

I was ! A long time ago now but I was talking to a friend and she was going on and on about how long it’s been, so long she might forget how to do it she said.

I had no clue people had sex so often! July 28, 2021 at 11:48PM

/u/tasty0kitsune0brains on okay okay, kissing. how do YOU feel?

I'm honestly not sure how to feel about kissing. My only experiences were with the only person I've ever dated, in 8th grade, and we were both extremely inexperienced and not sure of what we were doing. We experimented a little, and it felt incredibly awkward. I liked how close it made me feel to him, but the tongue stuff was kinda weird. We only did that once. Trying to keep an open mind about it, I've since mostly chalked it up to our mutual lack of experience. Plus, I don't know why, but I kind of find hugs and cheek/forehead kisses and the like to be more intimate and meaningful than full, on the mouth kissing. Like I said, though, open mind. I'm not opposed to trying again if I ever get a significant other. Especially if it makes me feel that same level of closeness I mentioned before. July 28, 2021 at 11:39PM

Should I be worried about getting pregnant while using the pull out method?

Pregnancy Scare (Please read everything to understand) I (F17) and my boyfriend (M17) are a little bit worried so any help or some support would be great. So in the past week, we have seen each other two times (exactly a week apart) and both times we engaged in sexual acts. Including the type that would land me pregnant. We did not use any form of protection any of the times we did it, and on one of the days we did it 9 times. We aren’t completely helpless in this situation though as we used the pull out method and cleaned up before each entry after finishing. The most that could have happened is some of that stuff being still on him and it getting in me.

I haven’t had sex in weeks due to a hurtful comment I made.

My wife and I usually have sex 3 times a week. Ever since I made a drunken comment to her, she hasn’t wanted to have sex with me. Apparently I told her I was tired of her pussy, and wanted to try new one. I feel awful, but the damage is done. I have no clue how to make things better. I have apologized profusely, but we still haven’t had sex in weeks. Any advice on how to get her to open up and confident again?

A friend of my mother is staying over at my house and is giving obvious hints.

So this is a throwaway as i don’t want to take chances of her browsing reddit and finding my account A friend of my mother who ill call G(F 43) recently decided to move to my city, but because of some problems that are too long to tell G can move into her new house in about 3 weeks. Now this is where I(M 22) come in G asked me if she could stay over at my place for the time being. Naturally I said yes as I know G since pretty much my childhood. One thing about G is that she is a very sexual person i can remember conversations with her where she would openly flaunt about her sextoys or favourite positions. Its a topic i strangely always could talk with her about as I find myself to be a very experimental person in bed. One time out of curiosity I went and tried sex with a trans women just or know how it is. This is also where my curiosity comes in I never managed to have sex with a MILF although always wanting to. Fast forward to today G is already 3 days at my house and since litte...

What are some of your favourite ways a partner has initiated sex/ foreplay

Looking for some ideas to use with my partner. We often are in the same environment and the build up to sex is often very similar. (Think along the lines of Netflix and chill) I’m looking for some more out of the box ways someone has initiated foreplay that ended up leading to sex. For example something they said that stuck out to you, or something they did that really turned you on. Submitted July 28, 2021 at 11:18PM Looking for some ideas to use with my partner.

I‘m a simp for my bf‘s leg/arm hair

Absolutely no one asked, but I didn‘t know I had a thing for hairy arms and legs until I started dating my boyfriend. When we‘re on the bus or watching a movie together I can‘t stop touching the hair on his arms or legs and the more I do it or think about it the more it turns me on. He thinks it’s cute and will roll up his sleeves for me to tease me when I’m noticeably getting turned on. However I‘m somehow not that much into chest or pubic hair lol.

Pretty confused about my ambivalent feeling about being cheated

My (30M) girlfriend (33) was exchanging messages telling us we were in crisis. She was talking with him for about a month, while I was financially supporting her to be in a dream internship. She stops and told me after a while everything that happened. I am pretty hurt, felling insecure and not enough. The guy is famous and has a bad boy style which is not me at all. This gets in my guts. But the venting part is: the story made me horny (?????). I have no idea how to deal, I feel shitty but also I was aroused by her exchanging photos. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS. I don't really understand this ambivalence. How can I be so hurt and still be hard thinking about it? Just pretty confused.

How do i tell my boyfriend his hygiene is a turn off …

Using a throw away acc ofc bc my bf has reddit … So at first my bf was so about hygiene always smelled good always had clean smelling breath and always showered before we hung out always had a clean room .. the longer we been dating his hygiene has just completely dropped hes like lost himself … he has an externally high sex drive and i mean i have a decent one but i just have been so so turned off when he wants to have sex because he just smells so bad his feet are atrocious!!! he literally makes the bed smell at times .. i also think he might not wipe after he uses the bathroom, it’s gotten to the point where his breath stinks and i don’t even want him to eat me out and he gets mad when i reject him eating me out and causes arguments .. how do i bring all this up without being mean i have no idea what happened but i can’t take it anymore i just try and take care of my needs with a vibrator when he’s at work to avoid having sex with him … i literally can’t even suck his dick the way...

I think I’m jealous of all the sex my fiancée has had. Either jealous or just insecure about how sexually explorative she was.

So I’ve been with my soon to be wife for 4 years. I met her when I was 25 and she was 23 going on 24 I was a super virgin when we met. She’s my first and only everything. She on the other hand has never told me the exact number of men and women she’s been with but I know she says it’s embarrassingly high and that she was “wild and crazy” in her college days. We sometimes talk about funny dating stories and funny sexual encounters from our past and Normally I don’t have a problem with it. But sometimes we come across certain things that make me uncomfortable. Like she once said the worst sex she ever had was a threesome she had where both guys “thought they were with a sex doll and not a woman who has limits and can feel pain”. The thought about her being with 2 guys at once and they treated her like that kinda made me feel sick. And the fact that she implied she did it multiple times made me feel even worse.

Help - with advice for receiving oral

I have been with my partner now for many years. I was his first and he has gotten very good at most things. Except oral. He has always been eager to go down on me but because I was his first I felt like he wasn’t great and I didn’t enjoy receiving it when he was still trying to figure out what to do.

Is this an orgasm...?

Hello all, I've been having sexual problems for the better part of a year and I've posted about it here some times before, but this isn't really about that, it's about a strange experience I've had using my vibrator To give some background, my problems are that I can't orgasm and more recently, can't really get aroused. I thought buying a vibrator would help, and it actually has and I'm really glad I spent the money on it, but it hasn't really helped by much, though now I'm able to get a little aroused by using it It's more like my body moves on its own. No matter how much I think about sex or consume porn, I can't get aroused at all but my vulva still lubricates when I use my vibrator on it, even though I'm still not psychologically or even really physically aroused, though it still feels good When I press it against my clit, my body reacts. It feels like a winding sensation, like winding up a wind-up toy and my heart speeds up a...

that sounds like asexuality! you may also have little to no sexual desires because of antidepressants as well, both can be true! but as the user above said, asexuality is little to no sexual attraction which sounds like what you described also, to answer your question from your original post, i figured i was ace after being in a relationship for a few years and started to get an inkling i didnt feel the same way about sex like most people did. i started looking into it more, and found out asexuals can have sex and still want sex with a partner for a number of reasons and still not feel sexual attraction (as i also realized in this research i dont feel sexual attraction). once i was able to explain to my partner i was ace and what that meant in terms of sex, he totally accepted it and understood and yes it definitely helps in not feeling pressured to do stuff now that we are on the same page. realizing i was ace has definitely made my life easier in my relationship and just in general...

Sexual. I've noticed that because sex is equated with romance and dating so often it can be hard for people to realize that these attractions don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. Looking back now, I think part of the reason it took me so long to realize I was ace but not aro is because I was under the impression that "well I want to fall in love and date, so surely I must feel sexual attraction too, right?"

/u/Imagination_Humble on Where are you from?

Canadian here too! I'm from the western part though. July 26, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/ArcadiaRivea on I just came out

I know that, which is a good point :) I just meant, to me, it seems silly that it's acceptable to choose not to have sex and to instill those values in people... but if you naturally feel that way, you're somehow wrong. It doesn't seem very "loving of thy neighbour" which, if I remember what my teacher told me, was about no matter what people's differences are you should accept them. To me it seems like it's on par with the gay conversion therapy Guess an example of what I mean is: if people frowned upon those who don't like chocolate, but its ok if you choose to not eat chocolate (I'm not trying to start anything btw, just trying to understand it, because I'm not Christian, only grew up being taught about it and having to go to church with the school) July 26, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/AcePilot95 on 34F unsure if she’s ready for a relationship or if this 34M is a red flag?

/u/DozySkunk on Does anybody else feel like their genitalia isn't part of their body?

Ace and agender person here - They're a part of my body, just like my knees or my shoulders. I don't think about my it unless I'm washing it or it hurts. July 26, 2021 at 11:28PM

/u/supermassivenova on We often talk about the repulsion of sex itself, but anyone else annoyed by everything AROUND the topic of sex?

ah i see, yeah broken down like that i can see where you are coming from. sorry to assume anything! i will say its easier when you do let go of all the pressure, i used to stress a lot about all the things i was supposed to do in a relationship like having the “right” number of sex per week and i felt all that pressure of being good a woman and taking care of my partner. i have recently realized how patriarchal all that is and all that matters is if me and my partner are both happy. it has definitely been a hard thing to come to terms with, like you said societies ideals are really ingrained and hard to forget, but also realizing i was asexual helped a lot and then being able to have very real convos with my partner about what my asexuality means, was all very helpful in letting go of all the pressure July 26, 2021 at 11:24PM

/u/37RatsInATrenchcoat on Which do you find easier to discover: your sexual orientation or your romantic orientation?

Honestly, both. No matter how long i think about it, i can never figure myself out. Cuz i know im asexual, i know i dont See myself in a romantic relationship , but i still find guys Hot. July 26, 2021 at 11:21PM

/u/Jedi_Among_Sith on Soooo... what’s so cool about porn?

I watched it so I could learn how to fake enjoyment. That was long ago, and I’ve never seen any other realistic purpose for it. July 26, 2021 at 11:18PM

/u/ArcadiaRivea on What do you want from asexual romances?

If I'm honest my main request would be that it's available as a paperback since that's what I exclusively read 😛 I'd happily buy that story! I'm gonna try to come at this from multiple possible angles, and there's bound to be thing I miss but other wonderful people will likely already have said/will add! Personally (and this all purely my own opinion!) regardless of both characters views about sex, I'd like that kept to a minimum. I don't like when regular, non-steamy books details the sex scenes. Just a simple "they made love" or "they kissed passionately" then move on is sufficient, more than that kind of ruins the story for me. If you want to add a "she tore her clothes off and admired her beauty", that's also acceptable, if it's kept short and simple. I don't really like reading what could easily be inferred, there's art in subtlety As for the actual content of the romance... that would depend on how...

/u/fanged_croissant on I made an ace ring at arts camp!

That's awesome, very well done! July 26, 2021 at 12:38AM

/u/SomeCrusader1224 on Can asexuals still fall in love with people?

very much able to compromise Hold up, this is a whole other question in and of itself, but how are you able to compromise? Sorry if that sounds offensive, I still barely know anything about asexuality. July 26, 2021 at 12:34AM

/u/Chiss_Navigator on DAE have a hard time using the term "coming out"?

I mean, I don't associate myself with the word "queer." But I have no sexual inclinations and some people call that asexuality. At present, I don't find disclosing this information to be a major event since it's not like I pretend to be into something I'm not. I think I might classify me telling my parents about it years ago as a "coming out" moment since at the time it simultaneously felt like a confession to them and to myself. I haven't made any such declarations since but a couple times people have asked me if I'm asexual and I've said yes sort of like when people ask me if I drink coffee and I say no. July 26, 2021 at 12:34AM

/u/AnonymousHermitCrab on DAE have a hard time using the term "coming out"?

I don't like using the term, but for a slightly different reason. For me, "coming out" has a connotation of bravery to it. Obviously this isn't the case for plenty of ace people, but for me telling people I was ace was never a thing of bravery. My being ace is pretty ingrained in my self-expression so it was never a surprise or something that would change peoples' perception of me. There was no brave "coming out," there was just me giving them a word to describe me. July 26, 2021 at 12:33AM

/u/Donalbain0 on Asexual bffs!

I wish I had friends to come out to. Been too busy adulting with work to make new friends. Making friends is so difficult too 😔 July 26, 2021 at 12:33AM

/u/SomeCrusader1224 on Can asexuals still fall in love with people?

Ever since I've learned of the existence of asexuals, I've been pretty envious of them (I think that the latter part of my flair speaks for itself). To be honest, I'm kind of dissapointed that I'm straight, because asexuals can just sidestep things powerful things like sexual desire and porn addiction. July 26, 2021 at 12:29AM

/u/HavePlushieWillTalk on How do you meet other asexuals or aromantics irl??

... is our country full of aspec people... and so... have we already taken Australia and we just don't know it? July 26, 2021 at 12:25AM

/u/ProudAce12 on Confused. My female friends find a lot of men attractive that I would never think of in that way. My attractions are generally very specific but I don’t feel that I fall into the gray sexual or demisexual category?

You could also be Acespike. “It is defined as someone who usually feels no sexual attraction, but occasionally has rare, sudden, and intense spikes of sexual attraction for a short amount of time, before returning, just as suddenly, to one's normal amounts of asexuality.” July 26, 2021 at 12:24AM

Dating Advice for Men Part 3 (Paying/Splitting the Bill)

The absolutely most contested point I made in part 1 was paying/splitting the bill so I really broke this one down and I hope this helps people, I get the feeling that this is a point a lot of people struggle on. I will link part 1 and part 2 on the bottom. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps! It has been brought to my attention that there seems to be some confusion about who pays for the date. I will reiterate that I am a millennial so maybe zoomers do things differently but this is what I have learned in my life. The reason people still talk about this issue is that there isn't just one answer that applies to every situation. Here are some points that have worked for me. I really deep-dove this one so thanks for reading! The thing that I think people get hung-up on is confusing the way the world SHOULD work and the way it actually does. It is great to have an idea of what an ideal future should look like and to even be part of that change but it is more important to under...
