/u/Kaymish_ on Has anyone done this already?

Sounds like that sect are dangerous heretics, can't remember the guys name, some famous monk, he wrote extensively about how sex is always a sin but it's a necessary sin,and marriage doesn't exempt people from confessing for it. I think the writings even got papal approval and approval from the patriarch of Constantinople. June 17, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/neon_unicorn-dreams on "Am I asexual?" – FAQ – etc.

I have close zero desire for sexual expression of any kind with my husband. I masturbate maybe half a dozen times in a year. I don't particularly enjoy sex, skip over those parts in books, am enbarassed by it in movies and, for the most part, my fantasies, while vivid and kinky, don't involve me. I've had sex with men and women and neither really do it for me. The whole thing makes me uncomfortable in most circumstances and, on occasion, utterly disgusted. I can't wait for it to be over. BUT, I enjoy the power game of sex. It turns me on to seduce a new partner and give them a mind blowing experience. Maybe see them a few times after that and then I'm done trying to prove myself and start to get repulsed by the thought, let alone the act. In every long term relationship, the sexual aspect fizzles out because I just don't want to do it. Luckily, my husband is very understanding and we're working out ways to get his needs met. Still, I don't know what t

/u/Closeted_Sky on That sexuality quadrants test makes me angry

Yea I gave the test, and the test was really confusing to me. "Your sexual orientation is 39.3% heterosexual, 46.4% homosexual, which places you in the asexual quadrant." Huh???? June 16, 2021 at 11:59PM

/u/CostAccomplished1163 on There have been a few posts about Christianity that got me curious about the religious demographics on this sub. This is not an excuse to trash on other religions. Please be respectful. (Sorry for grouping some I was only allowed 6 options)

Why is Atheists and Other in the same category June 16, 2021 at 11:57PM

/u/Allstar_WoRlD on Nsfw: Does anyone else think porn is funny?

Kinda depends on what's happening in the porn. June 16, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/Closeted_Sky on Another time I should have known I was asexual (or a time I just didn't know about sex

I asked my parents once when I was younger, "How does the girl know that they have been married and understand its time to create a baby" As if the baby would just form out of thin air and mutual agreement. Sex and marriage are actually implied to be inseparable by society but I always thought it was optional lol June 16, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/Zach-Gilmore on From bookish.historian on Instagram

I was thinking more like a Sly Cooper kind of guy: stealing from other criminals, and taking down serious bosses in various dimensions. June 16, 2021 at 11:54PM

/u/Closeted_Sky on I have no idea why I assumed I was straight for my whole life

I think convincing myself that I'm ace was probably the hardest thing ever. Internalized Aphobia can be a bitch since you have to convince yourself that not being attracted is a normal valid option "but since it was “normal” for straight girls to find other girls attractive" OMG Same XD. I mean I do a lot of sex/romance jokes between the girls and everyone always takes it in a non queer way, so I just assumed that whatever I felt was just hetro stuff. I realized it when I was 21 since most of my friends just told me 'Ill find the one' when I was younger. I'm 22 now and I went over this full process again with being aromantic June 16, 2021 at 11:50PM

/u/ArroAce on does anyone know some good films or books with asexual characters?

He still blames Sherlock's "Victorian purity" for his lack of sexual attraction. He said when the show was on air: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2012/jan/20/steven-moffat-sherlock-doctor-who But how did Moffat and Gatiss solve the most vexing mystery, Sherlock's sex life? "There's no indication in the original stories that he was asexual or gay. He actually says he declines the attention of women because he doesn't want the distraction. What does that tell you about him? Straightforward deduction. He wouldn't be living with a man if he thought men were interesting."Moffat is not saying that Sherlock, like Austin Powers, misplaced his mojo. "It's the choice of a monk, not the choice of an asexual. If he was asexual, there would be no tension in that, no fun in that – it's someone who abstains who's interesting. There's no guarantee that he'll stay that way in the end – maybe he marries Mrs Hudson. I don'

/u/M-KCookie_lover on I just got two ace flags! One is for me, the other is for the local LGBT group I've recently joined, luckily no gatekeepers. I'm happy!

I'm not trying to sound rude but why is the purple strip red? Is it just a filter or something? June 16, 2021 at 11:48PM

/u/unicornbuttsparkles on I know the 'trauma olympics' are BS, but anyways we get thrown into conversion therapy camps more than other LGBTQA groups. dont let anyone tell you there's no such thing as aphobia

Thank you for your reasonable response. I appreciate you! I am old ish but I did not have a proper or healthy childhood, which led to living a lie filled with maladaptive decisions until covid quarantine. It is water under the bridge at this point. It was a relief to discover the category because I felt pressured to find a label for myself. Their response prompted me to kind of go back into my shell and reject further attempts at categorizing myself in to some palatable label. I am still not really sure what label fits and I am beginning to be ok with that. I am me and anyone who has a problem with me being me can kiss my ass. So, yeah. There is that. Lmao 🤣 Eff em. I just want to steer clear of the bs from doctors at this point. I should probably read back through this thread to identify some rational sound bites so I do not pop off on the next mf'er that wants to try to invalidate my me. I think I have a well-earned life to start living. You should probably bill me for this

/u/PomegranateMinute638 on If anyone is down to chat, I’m questioning here but I don’t understand enough about asexuality and honestly find it a little confusing so would love for someone to discuss with me to see if I identify!!

Thanks!!! June 16, 2021 at 11:46PM

Hi! Gray-ace here. Feel free to DM me too. June 16, 2021 at 11:43PM

/u/Thornescape on Oriented aroace?

Honestly, words take on a life of their own. I consider it a victory to conquer and assimilate attacks and use them for good. The word meanings behind the term are solid. I think that it's poetic justice that their attempt at gatekeeping has backfired against them. June 16, 2021 at 11:42PM

/u/LampshadeEnthusiasm on does anyone know some good films or books with asexual characters?

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand has an asexual protagonist with a fully fleshed out storyline and romance! There's also a relationship between two female characters. I enjoyed this book a lot, it's a dark YA novel that's very lyrically written. Would recommend. Also, Dread Nation by Justina Ireland (another YA book I'd recommend, this one about an alternate history with civil war-era zombies) has a main character who hints at being ace/aro, but it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of scene. Not sure if this is explored more in the sequel as I keep forgetting to read it. June 16, 2021 at 11:42PM
