/u/silverlupus on I tried to draw asexuality as a person, thoughts?

I would wear that outfit - looks so cool! I wish I had the patience to learn to draw. January 03, 2021 at 12:05AM

/u/Cl0udbreak on Do any of you sometimes consider putting your own needs second because the person you love keeps asking for sex?

Never been in a relationship myself and this is definitely a fear I’d have about being in one, bc I’m afraid I’d put my own needs second and feel compelled to comprise etc, but at the same time, I’m a strong-willed person and clearly know what I want and what I don’t, and where I can compromise. And since anything sexual is just something I don’t ever want (my dealbreaker I suppose), I couldn’t be in a relationship with anyone who needed that from me- I just personally can’t bend on that one thing for anyone. So I guess it probably depends on what you can personally tolerate or feel comfortable with... if it’s a dealbreaker for you, I would think it’s better to just not be in a relationship that causes you a great deal of stress... but that’s something that only you can know what feels good/alright to you, so it’s something that you’d need to really just think about, and communicate (preferably before getting into a relationship) with the other person January 03, 2021 at 12:04A...

/u/GaraBlacktail on For the ones who don't know there was a punk band called "Asexuals" in the 80's/90's (while i don't think they were ace since i read they called themselves like that because the band members were all single at the time, it's still worth noting i think) here's their song "Asexual" from 1985

while i don't think they were ace since i read they called themselves like that because the band members were all single at the time Now that's a bit dramatic. But hey! Might give a listen just for the laughs. January 03, 2021 at 12:03AM

/u/WokeEdgelord on I don't even care about censoring these pricks.

While I honestly think that the majority of the community is cool, it kinda sucks that there are some of people who embody this mentality. It really shouldn't matter if your sexual orientation isn't the flagship for discrimination based on sexual orientation, but to some people it does. I would like to say though that this sentiment seems to be the minority opinion. I generally see positivity in most LGBTQ+ spaces. I guess the shitty stuff is kinda easier to remember, unfortunately January 03, 2021 at 12:02AM

I mean like, what did you say though? For other sexualities it's pretty straight forward with "I like x kinds of people" but I don't know how you'd work in a lack of interest. I'm bi so I had the other problem of discussion of "sometimes this sometimes that" Again, not trying to be insensitive or anything, I'm just curious about something different than myself and I don't have ace friends.

/u/pyroduck on What’s the most annoying question you got about being asexual?

You know asexuality isn't real right? January 02, 2021 at 11:59PM

/u/FacingTheAce on who else used to think 'sexy' meant aesthetically good looking

Wait. It doesn't? January 02, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/Viridian_Aubergine on I tried to draw asexuality as a person, thoughts?

The yellow in the background also makes me think of the nonbinary flag, and the general ~ audacity ~ of the style give me BIG enby vibes, so imma go ahead and claim this as One Of Us, a they/them making mayhem if you will January 02, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/slumberingserenity on I made a Persona 5 Ace wallpaper

I agree!!!!! January 02, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/Jentzi on Starting to see things

No one "deserves" sex. It's not an award or a payment. Sex is supposed to be an expression of intimacy and stuff, not a thing for one's own pleasure. Your partner is garbage if they really think they can demand you to do things just bc they think they have a right to your body bc "they did things". You are NOT FAILING. They are. They don't understand what a relationship is and isn't and that they have no more right making that sort of demand than a stranger would. I.e none at all. It is still your body, your choice. Badgering, pressuring, arguing etc is not a way to a healthy relation, it is technically them forcing you to do shit you don't consent to. That will not end well. Womanly duties, my asd. It is NOT a woman's duty to be a fucking object. So mad at that phrase. January 02, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/_lamp_lady_ on Overwhelmed with sexual repulsion

Wow, thank you. This is great advice. So far I haven’t really tried meditation and it’s the first time I hear the term shadow integration. I’ll certainly read more about it and check the book out. And I’m happy to hear it was so helpful to you (: January 02, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/AT-TE-212 on I have been posting many selfies lately, and some have commented on my eyes being very beautiful. However I always hated myself because of the way my family thinks of me. My uncle for example said I'm screwed up in the head just for being asexual and nonbinary. They want me to get conversion therapy

Thank you! I never considered my eyes beautiful because of their dark color, and I always hated the way I look. However this community is helping me appreciate the way I look a little better. January 02, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/anonymous-cat-lover on What’s the most annoying question you got about being asexual?

Are you sure it's not just that you havent met the right person yet? How can you not like anyone? Are you sure you dont like you friend of the opposite gender? (Despite the fact you have only ever been friends ughhh) I can go on January 02, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/stitchitch on What’s the most annoying question you got about being asexual?

Nothing. Everyone asks fair questions. Edit: everyone that I've met January 02, 2021 at 11:54PM

Your eyes are beautiful! I love your smile too. January 02, 2021 at 11:52PM

/u/OverlyCheerfulNPC on How would you respond to those who claim non sexual but romantic relationships are "just friendships?"

I would ask that they explain to me the difference between a romantic relationship and a friends with benefits situation. If there's a difference, then obviously there's a difference between a friendship and a sexless relationship. January 02, 2021 at 11:51PM
