/u/Cakeyplane on For Asexuals in Romantic Relationships...

My romantic relationship has been through a lot of stages, and so has my relation to sex. I’m currently married to an allo, and I love her so very dearly. I don’t really know what type of ace I am, I kinda never really felt like adding an additional label to myself other than asexual, but I am defo gonna figure it out once I get a handle on what ever the hell my gender identity is doing. Me and wife used to have sex, it was like at the 9 month point in we did it, but it was never really and expression of love just more of a “what fantasy/kink shall we explore” and at least for me was more like not having sex with her, but experiencing the action of sex. But since moving in with each over and getting married sex had just be erased from our lives. It’s not something we feel like doing at the moment. Before I even asked her out (which I did in my pjs after running to catch up to her, cause her fiend told me she was waiting for the last bus. and I had the realisation that I had a romantic...

/u/eggthrowaway5678 on I don’t understand people who get so pressed about asexual people. Or about anyone in the lgbtq+ community tbh. Why are you so invested in someone else’s sex life? That’s fucking weird. And creepy. And generally an invasion of privacy.

Sex positivity isn’t the same as sex-favorable. Sex positivity is a social stance, not a personal inclination. It is the idea that sex is a normal thing, that talking about it, having it, and not having it are all normal and acceptable and even good things. Sex positivity is the backbone upon which we argue that it’s acceptable, normal, and good for individuals to not be interested in sex. This is basic social justice stuff, and shouldn’t be controversial here. January 16, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/CloudWalker53 on I feel like there aren't any places for sex repulsed people

It does make me feel alone at times. I am neutral about some acts but repulsed by others. I don't mind sexual or lewd discussions either. The real problem arises when people try to invalidate you. January 16, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/CSI_Agent_Bobcat on very ideal ace vibes.

Having an actual person over for movie night and cuddles January 16, 2021 at 11:40PM

/u/KisArany on Sub for older aces?

I know that Aven has a forum section for older Ace, I'm not sure if it's very active though... January 16, 2021 at 11:40PM

I'm very sorry you're feeling that way... maybe try watching some nice videos or doing something that you like, perhaps it could make you feel a little better <3 January 16, 2021 at 11:36PM

/u/Alexsrobin on Gender Poll

Tbf, I'm female and only "out" to two people irl (two others might've guessed). I figured no one needs to know unless I want a relationship with them. January 16, 2021 at 11:35PM

/u/MurkyAttic on Caught an aphobe in the wild

Propably. More reasons to not care about them January 16, 2021 at 11:31PM

/u/ZippyDippy47 on Caught an aphobe in the wild

The account was made today so I assume they made it just to spew hate at me January 16, 2021 at 11:31PM

/u/ApocalyptoSoldier on Someone I follow on Instagram shared this on her story.

Wait, it's not a hipster trend? Then why am I wasting time here when I could be buying records or whatever is hip now? /s January 16, 2021 at 11:28PM

/u/MurkyAttic on Caught an aphobe in the wild

Just bye Felicia them and report that to the mods, no need to waste tour time January 16, 2021 at 11:28PM

/u/amaggleofmeese on Gender Poll

I think part of the reason it seems like there are many more women, is that (in my experience at least) sex tends to be a more important thing to men socially. Not generally obviously, but they just tend to talk about it more. Asexuality isn't widely accepted, and and the stigmas affect all, but I feel like it could disproportionately stop many more men from speaking on it just based off of the culture they were raised in. Sorry if that didnt make any sense. January 16, 2021 at 11:28PM

/u/ZippyDippy47 on Caught an aphobe in the wild

They're probably just trying to justify being a jerk by saying ace people are homophobic January 16, 2021 at 11:27PM

/u/VaderKid2006 on Coming out to Christian Parents

I have the same issue, but with my grandparents as they are very religious. As for my parents, since I'm still young (to be fair I kinda am) I know I'm ace and I'm worried more than anything that they will say you just haven't found the right person, or it will come later in life.

/u/animusbaby on Just wanted to share a selfie. I am so proud of all of you in this community!

You’re so pretty! 😍 January 16, 2021 at 11:26PM

/u/MurkyAttic on Caught an aphobe in the wild

"Fix the homophobia withing the asexual community" Wait what? I'm sorry, but I've encountered much more aphobes in the LGBTQIA + community that the other way around Anyway , SpongeBob is an ace icon. Take it or leave it Felicia January 16, 2021 at 11:25PM

/u/ZippyDippy47 on Caught an aphobe in the wild

I'm attempting to not be upset by it but it is hurtful January 16, 2021 at 11:23PM

/u/JumpyLiving on Someone I follow on Instagram shared this on her story.

It‘s because for a lot of allos sexuality and romance are intrinsically linked/the same (at least in the "romantic relationships are also sexual" way, not necessarily the other way around) January 16, 2021 at 11:22PM

/u/ohshitohfuvk on Caught an aphobe in the wild

btw sorry this happened to you! you were just saying what you heard in a completely peaceful way January 16, 2021 at 11:22PM

/u/ZippyDippy47 on Caught an aphobe in the wild

Yeah it's someone else January 16, 2021 at 11:19PM

/u/amaggleofmeese on [NSFW] Following on from our conversation on Thursday, she sent this to me today. It feels incredibly manipulative and sucks because she was very supportive of me at the start but made me so uncomfortable by repeatedly refusing to listen to me being asexual.

It feels manipulative because it is. January 16, 2021 at 11:18PM

/u/ohshitohfuvk on Caught an aphobe in the wild
