/u/Me_lazy_cathermit on I am not lonely, and yes, I rather be f**ked by a piece of plastic.

Me looking at my rather growing hoard of expensive sex toys, yes, yes i prefer the sex toys, no bodily fluid or stds to deal with, some will get me off in less then 10 minutes, or even 5 minutes, because who got time for this April 08, 2021 at 12:05AM

/u/BohemianMaxsody on It may not fit, but it’s the thought that counts. Happy international asexuality day!

/u/GreySpaceLogic on On a thing where I said I was ace. I would think it was clear that I was a bit uncomfortable with the questions. I sent them a link to the info page.

Rude? You think you're coming off as just rude??? Are you fucking joking? It doesn't take this being the asexuality sub for people to be uncomfortable and weirded out by your unbelievably intrusive and annoying questions. OP clearly did not want to answer and was very uncomfortable. They asked you to stop repeatedly and you continued because you're an annoying little troll who gets a kick out of being a gigantic asshole. Let me answer your asinine questions for you. 1: People don't have to answer shit that they don't want to. Go fuck yourself and learn some god damn boundaries. 2: Some people masturbate, some people don't. What the fuck does that have to do with sexuality? It's libido and preferences, dumbass. It takes 2 fucking seconds on Google to figure that out, though I'm sure you already know that. 3: What in the actual hell does virginity have to do with sexuality? I'm sorry, does everyone need to fuck everyone to figure if they like the...

1 - So you think if a person that is proud of being gay (or hell, straight) should automatically be comfortable answering question about something that is WIDELY recognize as one of the most personal topics there is? One that is considered taboo in several cultures and religions? 2 - No, it does not mean that. Sexual attraction is about a urge to have sex with a specific person. Is not about what your body feels externally. This is widely explained in any FAQs about asexuality, if you really wanted to educate yourself, you would look up. 3 - Several. Including many asexuals that are married and have sex regularly with their partners for a variety reasons: If feels good -- yes it can feel good without sexual attraction, just because there's no urge to do it, doesn't mean your body won't react to it (Like eating when you are full, the food can still taste good). Maybe because they don't care either way and want their partner to be happy. Maybe they want biological natu...

/u/Thornescape on Is there name for someone who ONLY experiences sensual and romantic attraction? Or is it just asexual?

I have to admit that I tend to shy away from the grouping labels. I prefer just to name them separately. There's too many separate elements to fuss around grouping them, and it tends to confuse more then elucidate. Panromantic, heterosensual, asexual (or whatever). It's clear and explains things. There's too many different combinations to have a separate word for each individual possibility. April 08, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/Valrogg1 on Asexuality and the forbidden fruit.

"really open to diverse opinions" Oh, I'm quite sure that every LGBT person both here and elsewhere will disagree severely with that statement. April 08, 2021 at 12:01AM

/u/Thornescape on Is there name for someone who ONLY experiences sensual and romantic attraction? Or is it just asexual?

I thought that it'd be like panromantic heterosensual or something. I don't think it's the allo prefix, but I could be wrong. April 08, 2021 at 12:00AM

Asexuality is purely defined by sexual attraction. Some are sex positive, so yeah. Some would want a handjob. Personally, i dont see the point rather its mine own hand or someone elses. Either way its free endorphins! April 07, 2021 at 11:59PM

/u/Thornescape on The only reason I want to come out is—

My parents did the same thing to me, and basically it resulted in me just not telling them anything. Unfortunately, it's a very popular approach, despite how blatantly destructive it is. Normally I end up recommending to people living at home not to "come out" to parents in case they have a negative reaction, but you seem to be in the opposite situation. Do it. Sit her down, look her in the eye and tell her to stop pestering you about guys. I think that it'd help the situation to make it clear that you're telling her because she's been beyond annoying. It might mellow the negative reaction that some parents have towards the concept. April 07, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/Gnash323 on How to figure out if I'm asexual or just have no/low libido?

If you're worried about your libido being affected by the meds you take and it bothers you, you should talk with a professional and see if you could try another medication, or see if you could change your doses. There have been a bunch of people on this subreddit that have found they were not asexual after changing meds/realizing parts of their identity. However, you can experience libido and still be asexual. Libido kinda tells you that your body wants to have sexual release, or on layman's terms, you're horny. Sexual attraction tells you that you want to have sex WITH this person or the other, or "you're horny FOR this person". Allosexuals can have low libido, but experience sexual attraction. It's also possible to be demisexual, in which case you would experience sexual attraction towards someone you have an emotional attachment with (could be a good friend, a partner, etc) Lastly, having previous experience on sexual or emotional relationships can ...

BTW I only just noticed this but HOW is asking about asexuality and actively wanting to discuss it considered as Aphobia?! Like doesn’t that seem kind of ridiculous? April 07, 2021 at 11:54PM

Hahah that’s funny but you raise a good point! Masturbation does not necessarily mean sexual attraction, although maybe it does hmm 🤔 Also let me ask you this, (hypothetical) would you an asexual that masturbates want to be jerked off by someone else? April 07, 2021 at 11:52PM

I am not uncomfortable with any questions. I'm glad that you are being considerate of those who are uncomfortable. It's important to realize, however, that these questions can be very personal and feel invasive. It's not about a lack of pride, but a lack of privacy. 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 st...

/u/mookski on White Stripe for Allies???

Yeah that’s fair April 07, 2021 at 11:51PM

/u/mookski on White Stripe for Allies???

Sorry if it wasn’t clear but I don’t think they should be excluded from the community or anything, I love allies and supporters and they should be a part of it! It just seems like the pride flag is specifically about pride, people who are proud of being asexual it should represent asexual people, and sure allies can use it to show support, but the flag itself should be about asexual ppl. I’m not trying to arguing with you or anything or say you’re necessarily wrong I’m just trying to clarify my point so sorry if it seems like that But it just feels to me a bit like erasure, like aces can’t have just this one thing about only us and not allies, it kinda ties into the people thinking that the A in lgbtqa kinda thing, that’s just my thoughts tho April 07, 2021 at 11:51PM

Wassup people! I’m sorry if I come of as rude I’m just curious about asexuality and I honestly don’t care about anyone’s feelings on the internet! I’m not forcing anyone to interact with my comments so if your uncomfortable your actively putting yourself in such a situation! Anyway as this is the asexuality sub I bet there is someone out here ready and steady to answer my questions! Just in general shouldn’t anyone who is proud about their sexuality not be ashamed to answer my questions OP so generously shared with us in this post When someone is asexual does this also mean they don’t masturbate and or watch porn? Because if so that would mean they are sexually attracted to something right? Are there any non virgins that identify as asexual? How is it possible to say you are asexual when you haven’t ever had sex?? For example I haven’t ever tasted vegemite but I was convinced I would not like it because of other peoples reactions and description, now few months back I act...

Do you masturebate? Isnt that sexual attraction? Give this person a medal. They cracked the case. We're attracted to our hands! April 07, 2021 at 11:42PM
