/u/Top-Replacement-8936 on I've been asexual for a little over a year now but I feel confused when I scroll through reddit

In this subreddit you can see links (on the top of the page): "Wiki" and "Quick links". There are a lot of useful information! I don't know what terms and acronyms you want to know, but here is the Glossary, maybe it can help: https://www.reddit.com/r/asexuality/wiki/definitions/ July 19, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/GreyStingrayz on SOOOOOO Many Queer People Still Are Aphobic And I'm SICK OF IT

I went to pride in my city and they had quite a lot of pride flags on display. Like even the newer and less common flags were all over the place. Except the Ace (or Aro) flag. Not a single one. I find it hard to believe that they would include all these flags, even the more obscure ones, yet not have any Ace flags by pure accident. At that point it just seems aphobic. Multiple stores and event stalls, yet nothing. It felt so isolating to go to an event that was supposed to be in support of our community and yet that community did not want to include aspec people.

Sex repulsed is a term used to refer to most commonly ace people who are repulsed by the idea of sex but it can apply to anyone. the asexual spectrum refers to people who are greysexual, demisexual, and the sort. romantic attraction is your attraction to someone in a romantic way ie. dating and the four kinds of attraction I know of are sexual, romantic, platonic(waiting to be friends), and aesthetic (how something it looks). as for acronyms I cant think of any I particular so if you could tell me some of the ones you want to know. All the blood oath and royalty information can be found in the terms and conditions section of your ace handbook. July 18, 2021 at 11:49PM

Sex averse - A person who is disenclined to want to be involved in sex Sex repulsed - A person who is repulsed by the idea of being involved in sexual acts, may also be repulsed by seeing them or hearing them described Sex favourable - Is general willing to engage in sex. Possibly for the sake of their partner, maybe to reproduce, maybe just because they enjoy the act it self or for some other reason Asexual spectrum - As well as people who don't experience sexual attraction at all there are some people who only experience it occasionally or under specific circumstances. These people often have a lot of the same experiences as people who don't experience sexual attraction at all so are described as being part of the asexual spectrum or Ace-spec. Some other identities in the spectrum are: Greyasexual - Experiences very little sexual attraction or experiences it rarely Demi sexual - only ever experiences sexual attraction after an emotional bond has formed Acespike - usua

Also why would you bother correcting my grammar even if it was incorrect, when discussing a sensitive subject? July 18, 2021 at 11:42PM

No, I mean someone that I follow on Twitter, tweeted yesterday… July 18, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/all-the-happy-yellow on How do I have sex when I am sex repulsed??

Please don’t force yourself to have sex. If you do not want to, you shouldn’t have to. It’s not something you need to get over. I know this isn’t the answer you want to hear, but you’re young and I really hope you listen. July 18, 2021 at 11:39PM

/u/Rehiea on hi,i'm a bit confused so i'll ask here

/u/Francis-Francis on SOOOOOO Many Queer People Still Are Aphobic And I'm SICK OF IT

" I've noticed asexuality is highly correlated with autism/ADHD/neurodiversity though." No, ADHD is usually closely related to hypersexuality, of course, ADHD + asexuality can occur (my case) but it is not the general rule. I read other posts and it doesn't seem like a nice place, at least not for me. July 18, 2021 at 11:36PM

/u/viviconcarne on What's a niche / unpopular interest that you have?

I'm super fond of bootleg stuff, from slightly off-key models to kinda unsettling redesigns. July 18, 2021 at 11:31PM

/u/PM_me_your_McRibs on I have no idea how to feel.

Don’t worry about age and laws. You only get one life to live. Be true to yourself and do what works for you. July 18, 2021 at 11:27PM

/u/Azrael_042 on do u guys get that sense of like euphoria when you find another ace people and its just like wow im not alone

The only way I figured out that I was full is by looking at attractive people and deciding what I saw in them July 18, 2021 at 11:26PM

Grey-asexuality Interesting! I'm glad you figured it out. I'm still figuring it out. I thought I might be demi, but looking more into it, I think I'm greyro/grey ace. It's a spectrum, so plenty of time to explore. I'm grateful for this space and for the opportunity to understand myself after so many years. July 18, 2021 at 11:25PM

/u/_theatre_junkie on SOOOOOO Many Queer People Still Are Aphobic And I'm SICK OF IT

So...I searched for the post you mentioned and I have many regrets. July 18, 2021 at 11:19PM

/u/PM_me_your_McRibs on How do I have sex when I am sex repulsed??

From my experience as an allo with and ace, don’t do anything beyond your comfort. You won’t be giving him some great gift. It will likely be awful for both of you. Be you. You’re enough. July 18, 2021 at 11:18PM
