/u/Gladiator_Fembot on Can I be a biromantic asexual?

But of course you can! 🖤🤍💜 💖💛💙 June 23, 2021 at 12:04AM

/u/les_annie on Has anyone ever been “straight” and then thought they were queer and ended up realising they were just ace?

I've known I'm a lesbian for quite a while, but it took me so long to work out I am also ace. It took getting a girlfriend and realising I only wanted the romantic not sexual side to come to terms with it! Also in the process of getting an autism diagnosis which has helped recognise how sensory overload etc plays into it. June 23, 2021 at 12:03AM

/u/Miss__Informed on I have a question for those of you who identify as female and afab asexuals. Do/did you have the urge to reproduce/grow a baby in your body? I'm curious if there's a link between my asexuality and my deep fear of ever getting pregnant.

Thank you. Yes, that absolutely answers my question. June 22, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/Mildly_Confident on I got a little ace tragus piercing today! 🖤🤍💜

I’ve got mixed feelings to the idea but none to do with my asexuality really (mostly bc I have intense menstrual pain, burst ovarian cysts, PCOS, and vaginismus affecting my ability to use tampons, have Pap smears, gyno exams, etc. None of those things are sexual though, and I pretty much don’t think of those things when I consider sex, it’s just that my reproductive areas often hURT out of the blue so I’m not jazzed about potential things going wrong and being in more pain.) but aside from my physical issues I do enjoy kids, I don’t think I make enough money to comfortably have any but if I was in less pain/made more money/had better healthcare I wouldn’t hate the idea of having them. When it comes to my asexuality mostly I think the idea of sex is better than the reality (which is a lot of trouble and work and cleanup for something that I just feel really “eh” about honestly.) it’s like maybe setting up a ping pong net on your dinner table (or something) sounds like a fun idea for

/u/Exciting_Indication3 on How do you guys find/connect with other ace people?

Hi, I'm 36, female, and in west Texas June 22, 2021 at 11:47PM

/u/Exciting_Indication3 on I Wrote About Asexual Dating, And The Internet Responded. Here’s What They Got Wrong.

Exactly, although there are plenty of things that can keep an allo from being able to have sex, like disability, old age, or medical issues. June 22, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/attendre-et-esperer on What’s something that people wouldn’t know about unless they were aspec?

/u/CedarChild on Experience with hate

Sorry for replying late, but I don't think I'll leave the server right now. I think experiences like this will help me exercise my stress-management skills, as well as helping me become more accustomed to hatred. I feel like hatred like this will never stop coming, so it is better to deal with it and acknowledge the fact that some people are like this, instead of avoiding it. June 22, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/Mielikki2002 on I have a question for those of you who identify as female and afab asexuals. Do/did you have the urge to reproduce/grow a baby in your body? I'm curious if there's a link between my asexuality and my deep fear of ever getting pregnant.

I definitely want to be a mother, but I'm not sure about this "deep lady desire to grow a child in your uterus". I would like at least one bio child to experience pregnancy, because I do think it'll be a really emotionally rewarding experience (probably due to hormones though), but I'm also interested in fostering/adopting. I've known I've wanted kids my whole life and not just because it's what society expects. It's one of the few things I am certain I want in my future. I hope this answered your question lol I had to refrain from going on and on because I honestly love kids and everything to do with them. June 22, 2021 at 11:38PM

/u/wanderingasparagus on Aromantics and asexuals…I need your attention

Ok, thanks! June 22, 2021 at 11:37PM

/u/livipup on Can I be a biromantic asexual?

Some people who aren't asexual also have different sexual and romantic feelings, so saying you're biromantic doesn't automatically tell people you're asexual. June 22, 2021 at 11:34PM

/u/AHauntingAlternative on Has anyone ever been “straight” and then thought they were queer and ended up realising they were just ace?

I thought I was straight and going along with purity culture and then I thought I was straight with religious trauma and then straight with some kind of other emotional issues and then I learned about asexuality and finally realized nothing was wrong with me and I'm actually just ace.

/u/JinkyRain on a hilarious attempt at aphobia for you

For someone keen on being snarky about language they sure do suck at using it. Aces are "good at shooting down planes" (not "plans"). Ace and Aro are both accurately defined in MerriamWebster. Aspec (not Aspect) isn't yet but it's up on UrbanDictionary at least. June 22, 2021 at 11:33PM

I’ve been horrified at the prospect literally since my mother gave me the talk. June 22, 2021 at 11:32PM

/u/Exciting_Indication3 on I’m confused and wondering if anyone here can help me out

You can say that again! For the first time ever I met another grey ace in the wild this weekend and we were grey in totally different ways! June 22, 2021 at 11:30PM

/u/justforkicks0824 on Has anyone ever been “straight” and then thought they were queer and ended up realising they were just ace?

Yeah. I mean, all of my crushes were on guys and that’s all I was ever interested in. Then I realized I’m not actually sexually attracted, just romantically attracted. June 22, 2021 at 11:29PM

/u/anonymousartist13 on The issue with the label sex-averse…

I was thinking the same, I’ll post a little something later. So, be prepared June 22, 2021 at 11:28PM
