I typed out a whole post but it was longer and more excruciating than watching a 10 hour loop of the last season of Game of Thrones so I'll try and keep it short, however bear with me if you're into weird sexual dynamics... Basically I (F24) have never been into classic monogamous relationships, I've tried, failed, put myself in therapy and am staying away from them until I know any better. So I haven't had any action in months, which my lady parts are beginning to notice, which is not completely beside the point, as you'll see. So, after a long abstinent winter, nature is awaking, as I can tell as everything I'm about to write has gone down in the span of a week. Firstly, a guy my age who we'll call K. and who I have a friendly and casually sexual bond has brought it to my attention that he wants a serious monogamous relationship with me, and his actions have already shown to me that he is quite serious about it. As it so happens, I'd been idly cru...

I love my cup for the same reason. I find it much more comfortable and flexible than tampons, which always felt so awful and stressful for me. April 20, 2021 at 12:03AM

It's beautiful and it's got a black background so it works! April 20, 2021 at 12:00AM

Let me check my Magic 8 Ball.... "Maybe". Are there aces who get married? Definitely yes. Some sex repulsed people even marry allosexuals. It is not uncommon. It happens on a regular basis. Statistically speaking, "more" people want sex in a relationship, but that isn't at all the same as "all people". There are fewer people who are comfortable in a sex-free relationship, but they do exist. What is important is to let potential partners know early, so that neither of you waste time on a doomed relationship. You are looking for someone remarkable and yes, that takes more work. Remember, moving on from a pointless relationship isn't a bad thing at all. There's no shame in realizing that you were incompatible, especially if you realize early. Will you get married? I don't predict the future. All I can say is that many people in your situation end up married and in good relationships. It happens. It can happen for you to as well. Apri...

I have also never gotten a tampon to fit comfortably, and the times where it's been less noticeable they leaked anyway. For a long time it stopped me from looking into menstrual cups (if I can barely fit a tampon, how was I supposed to use my fingers?) But I trained for it. I really wanted to try the eco-friendly mess-free alternative I'd been hearing so much about. While I was probably experiencing vaginismus and did follow some recommendations there, my goal wasn't anything more than being able to work with a cup. I did it and I love it. The cup is flexible so you don't really feel it. It feels so freeing and clean. I guess that's what tampon people feel. April 19, 2021 at 11:49PM

I never liked tampons and I never tried them. Pads are so much better. Why would anyone go through the trouble of sticking something up there when you can literally get a pad that is so much easier? April 19, 2021 at 11:44PM

Hi,. Ace muslim guy from europe. I had a ace gf before but she was very much against muslim praying or any islamic activities, we brokeup in few months as she was atheist and very anti-islamic. She said if u don't practice then I have no problem with u. So make sure the person is not anti-islamic , as mostly people think muslims are always aggressive but it can be other ways around as well. Well am muslim , and ace , if u wanna talk further ,u can dm me thanks April 19, 2021 at 11:35PM

I’m asexual and also have absolutely no appetite whatsoever. I would forget to eat all day and only remember when I start feeling like shit so I have to set reminders on my phone to eat. I don’t get these jokes at all April 19, 2021 at 11:34PM

Oh, and also: Maybe I am just overthinking and if I could stop thinking so analytically during sex I might enjoy it more. April 19, 2021 at 11:33PM

I would say, if describing these feelings, it would be a lot closer to an imposter syndrome than aphobia. Feeling as though you don't belong in a group after having described yourself a certain way is, to me, either a change in how you feel about yourself and the words you are using or feeling like those words do describe you but maybe not as much as they would someone else hence imposter syndrome. But no matter what it is most important to remember the last 2 words from zedthehead. LOVE YOURSELF. April 19, 2021 at 11:33PM

Yeah when I came out to my wife as demi it made it a lot easier to share my feelings and emotions. We were having some hard conversations around the possibility of opening up to consensual non monogamy; she’s had a number of partners before me and I’m sex-favorable in our relationship and generally a pretty open person so it seemed like it could be something exciting to try together. But ultimately I felt uncomfortable and couldn’t put my finger on why until I came to my recent realizations about myself and my sexuality. She is the only person basically in my life who I’ve ever felt attracted to, and it’s been so much easier to have honest conversations around sex and sexuality now and be true to myself and what I need April 19, 2021 at 11:25PM

Nah, just saying the stuff I wish someone had said to me xD biding your time isn't the same as doing nothing, it requires a lot more stubborness ^^ April 19, 2021 at 11:24PM

I just love food in general and gifting food is like the most precious thing to me as a sex repulsed ace and food is very special in Italian culture (I’m Italian-American :3) But I totally get you, it does seem like a lot of just garlic bread (there’s even more garlic bread memes than cake memes) We could all take up painting and writing, perhaps April 19, 2021 at 11:23PM

Well let’s see what we have already - Garlic bread - Cake - Dragons I haven’t seen too much Sp ace stuff surprisingly How about more mythological themed stuff because some people think aces don’t exist? Sci-fi? Or embr-ace SCPs April 19, 2021 at 11:21PM

Maybe it's because as a community, we're still in the process of finding our footing in online spaces? In-jokes generate over time, so this will probably get better gradually. Generally I think it's kind of nice to have those friendly sort of clichee jokes, especially when relating to other lgbtq people. To me it's only annoying when people who don't get the purpose of those jokes (friendly community, relatability, conversation openers) overdo it. April 19, 2021 at 11:21PM

Are you on Artfol? April 19, 2021 at 11:17PM

You might find that you aren't asexual in the future but for now if that's what best describes you then that's fine. Personally, I adhere to the "sexuality is fluid" thing because I've kinda experienced that myself with being super into guys during high school and in my 20s/late teens everything started shifting until today where I'm full on asexual, so it's possible it could change later in your life but that doesn't invalidate your current self. Do whatever will help you understand yourself better. April 19, 2021 at 11:12PM

Very smooth animation. Well done! April 19, 2021 at 11:10PM

What is more interesting to you than romance and sex? April 19, 2021 at 11:10PM
