/u/jms_27707 on Why does it always rub people the wrong way when I tell them I'm asexual biromantic?

A lot of people don’t know the differences between attractions and don’t know how to separate sexual from romantic from aesthetic attraction. In my limited experience they have to ask a lot of questions to parse the differences. People tend to not want to do that much work. May 15, 2021 at 12:01AM

I’ve thought about this. Many peoples’ experience involves sexual repression and an environment telling them sex is evil. If you don’t know anything about sexualities beyond “straight,” “gay,” “lesbian,” and “bisexual,” and especially if you’re used to a repressive environment, our true lack of interest can look like pretending to have no interest due to a repressive environment. Sex-repulsion may look like “sex is evil and disgusting” in the moral sense and not in a “this is just my natural reaction, not a moral judgment” sense. And if you hate that repressive environment, you might have negative associations with repressed people. And if the other refuses to “see the light” and acts disgusted, that can’t be their true reaction, everyone loves sex and they’re just a prude pretending not to like it to seem pure! Their no isn’t really a no! And even if it is, they deserve to be punished with sexuality for making me repress mine! (That’s not how it works. Even if it was just a prude a...

Some aces use porn to deal with their libido, kind of like scratching an itch but replace itchiness with horniness May 14, 2021 at 11:39PM

Thanks for the response. Just curious, not that I’m in the state of mind to even think about flirting with other girls, but has he gotten back out there? If so, what was that like? May 14, 2021 at 11:32PM

/u/thesewingdragon on It is what it is...

My brother has stated, multiple times, that he never wants kids and my sister doesn't care less about having a relationship so my mum has put her hopes of grandchildren on her last child. Said last child is sex averse so you can see how well that's going... May 14, 2021 at 11:31PM
