You must have a bad dealer. I found Penisaur and Vaginaraptor in my shop March 18, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/BothSocksWet on On Dating Alo People

I started a relationship with a guy 2 years ago (when I was 17 and didn't know anything about asexuality, assumed that I was just straight) We didn't even mention sex until a friend of mine asked us about it. I never really wanted to do it, it always felt like a chore and something I'd have to get over with, but also a logical 'next step'. So we did it, year and a half into a relationship and I realized something was wrong. He was always way more into me sexually, and I just couldn't feel anything like that back, if you get me. I felt nothing but disgust for sex, and still do. I had to convince myself I wanted it. That's when I did the googling and found out about asexuality. Sadly tho, it meant an end to our 2-year relationship. He said he wasn't bothered by it, even tho it was clear as day he was, and it was just stressing us both out. Some things are not meant to last. But tbf, coming out as asexual and realizing I actually don't have to have s...

I think they're hillarious, it's so bizarre to me that people get in heat and then are like "you know what I need right now? A bright orange vaugley phallic vibrating plastic tube" I'll never understand allos March 18, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/GoldieFable on Am I Asexual?

You might be or you might simply be sex-repulsed allo. Especially depending on your age I would recommend giving it time. Not saying that you cannot identify as asexual now, and indeed you might adopt the label at least for time being, but these things can get easier with more experience and the benefit of the hindsight. If you feel sexual attraction but are disgusted by the idea of sex, sex-repulsed allo is probably more your style. In the mean time, do check out demi-sexuality if personality is a big influencer There was recently posted a handy chart of different spectrums from sexuality to libido and attitudes towards sex itself that I also recommend. Furthermore, check the spectrum of different romantic orientations too. I know it is a lot, but these things can be quite puzzles to figure out what exactly fits you the best March 18, 2021 at 11:33PM

/u/RelativityFox on Belong here, yes/no? Not from me btw

I mean, the first challenge will be teaching the dogs how to swipe. March 18, 2021 at 11:32PM

/u/Ilike_fruit on Behold: The Worst Article of All Time!

I want to educate myself on this case but I think I'd get waayyy too heated about it. Not sure if I'm ready to dive into that. March 18, 2021 at 11:32PM

/u/Ilike_fruit on Why though?

For them I think it shows others how close they are. March 18, 2021 at 11:31PM

/u/livipup on Is this asexual?

Idk what you're talking about. Asexuality is just not being attracted to anybody. March 18, 2021 at 11:30PM

/u/Ilike_fruit on Is this asexual?

Demi-Sexual is a grey area on the ace spectrum that might help you define yourself more. It's natural for romance, sex drive and attraction to fluctuate. March 18, 2021 at 11:30PM

/u/Ilike_fruit on Am I Asexual?

You might be grey Sexual. You can look into Demi Sexuality and Demi Romantic as other terms to help you figure out where you fit on the Romantic vs. Sexual Vs. Aesthetics spectrum. March 18, 2021 at 11:28PM

Hmm, maybe wait-for others I’m dumb March 18, 2021 at 11:25PM

/u/mastelsa on Questions for a book I am writing.

Seconded. The show really emphasizes the relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley, and to me it's a great example of a queerplatonic relationship. March 18, 2021 at 11:24PM

/u/GoldieFable on Gatekeeping marriage

I feel you. I was getting heavily downvoted for expressing the opinion that the ruling isn't great look for wider societal implications and is scarily closely related to the issues of marital rape in r/europe . Some people were literally saying that your marital contract includes a clause on sex! Not married but pretty sure that is not true It was frustratingly polarised discussion. On the other hand the discussion on the definition of rape in another oost was more nuanced Back to the topic - fuck (and not in literal sense) anyone who thinks sex is requirement for happy marriage. And while it is okay to divorce over sexual incombality, I don't think those divorces should use fault-based grounds to justify them when no-fault grounds exist March 18, 2021 at 11:24PM

I hope that woman is able to get some better treatment in this situation soon. At least she has some groups standing up for her March 18, 2021 at 11:16PM

Thank you. Greatly appreciate the help. March 18, 2021 at 11:15PM

I'll be in the checkout with a cart stacked with enough Pyrex and fancy stainless steel cookware to build a fort with the boxes when I get home March 18, 2021 at 11:13PM

/u/delusionalmayo on All the spectra! An overview and conversation starter

Is sexual attraction just about sex ? In that case I never experience it, otherwise I don't know... March 18, 2021 at 11:11PM

/u/Reptorian on How is asexulity from an evolutionary biology perspective, even a thing?

I wasn't born with my sexuality, but it wasn't influenced by environmental factor either. More like it shifted on it own. Took me months to realize what was happening, and years later confirming it ruling out the standard explanation (confusion). March 18, 2021 at 11:10PM

/u/mastelsa on Questions for a book I am writing.

What pitfalls have you seen from poor or misguided representation that I should look out for? One of the things I'd caution against is treating asexuality the same as just straight-but-uninterested. I think there are fundamental ways that asexuality and/or aromanticism affects someone's interaction with the world. Coming of age, I didn't have the words or even the mental framework to explain the disconnect I felt from my peers. There was definitely a disconnect there, but I could pretty easily hide it to fit in better. The adults around me chanted things like "late bloomer" and it was terrifying to continue to not "bloom" and not understand why, because there was a framework for "late blooming" but there was no framework for not " blooming." There was a constant sneaking suspicion (which I had to work to avoid confronting) that there was something deeply and fundamentally wrong about me, because literally everyone else gets this...

/u/Reptorian on What does sexual attraction feel like?

Former sexual here. I'll describe it as some sort of passing instinct that you like someone and feeling open to sharing your own body. Can't really describe it in more depth since those memories are so far long. March 18, 2021 at 11:07PM
