/u/LtLabcoat on After have read the comment under an asexual video I don't feel bad anymore

Did I imply that I wanted to be with someone who want sex in anyway? Yes. Your post really does read like you're saying "If someone doesn't want to be in a relationship with me because of sex, they're not seeing the value of a relationship with me". Presumably it's not what you intended, but... ...well, to go into very deep detail for an example of why: There is my love, my care, my silliness, my kindness and comfort. And if someone value me only because they want to screw me and stop to talk to me once they know it won't be possible it's on them. These two sentences, taken literally, are barely related. It's basically "I have a good personality. If someone wants casual sex with me, they only have themselves to blame that they can't get it". So the presumption is that you don't mean it literally, and that what you actually meant was "I have a good personality. If someone doesn't think that's enough to make ...

/u/anxiouscakedragon on I just noticed something about one of my favourite characters

I kind of watched it in 2019 and he was my favorite character, though I didn't get far into the series, possibly because my sister doesn't like anime. 😅 Coincidence? 🤔 Who knows. August 12, 2021 at 12:03AM

/u/AcePilot95 on Do you feel sensual attraction/long for sensual intimacy?

the answer to the first part is yes but there's no option for "don't know whether I'm repulsed/indifferent/favorable". Like conceptually I'm "whatever" 95% of the time, and somewhat curious 5% or the time, but I've never actually done it bc the thought of me doing it is sorta uncomfortable. And when it goes in that direction irl I nope out, don't know for what reason really other than "I don't want to" August 12, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/Ok-Fondant3645 on Asexual in need for some advice

You might be somewhere on the aromantic spectrum. I would let your partner know that it made you feel uncomfortable and would like to take things slower. Don't stay in a relationship that just stresses you out, it won't end well. August 12, 2021 at 12:02AM

/u/Sensitive_Role8469 on Could sensual make out or physical intimacy make your body temperature rise up and even give you the urge to moan?

So you mean that you personally don’t have sexual arousal, but because your partner have sexual arousal, you feel your body temperature rising? August 12, 2021 at 12:01AM

/u/anxiouscakedragon on What about necessary sex scenes?

I don't get why some are 'necessary'. To me, any scene like that seems unnecessary. Then again, I haven't really watched a movie with 'necessary' scenes.. and even then, we skip past them if we can. I also try to screen a movie by looking at the Parent's Guide on IMDb. August 12, 2021 at 12:00AM

/u/anxiouscakedragon on What about necessary sex scenes?

Ikr. Time is wasted for the build-up when it could be used for actual, crucial scenes that drive the plot forward. August 11, 2021 at 11:58PM

/u/StressedCoffeeCup on My asexuality/being demi makes me feel toxic/broken...

I appreciate even you just sharing that you relate-- makes me feel less alone/like I'm toxic for feeling these feelings. Especially not picking up on social cues-- and people misreading them.... I absolutely hate feeling like a tease- but at the same time I'm not gonna let the guilt push me to do something I don't want to... So I guess it's just a struggle in life not quite being the norm... I am slowly learning what's best for me-- and acting in suit! It's a process. August 11, 2021 at 11:57PM

/u/anxiouscakedragon on What about necessary sex scenes?

Same. It's still a bit awkward, but we don't have to see anything or hear anything. Skipping is obsolete. August 11, 2021 at 11:56PM

/u/anxiouscakedragon on Why is coming out asexual so much harder than when I came out homosexual?

Because I think people are more familiar with gays and not aces. Aces are 'unnatural' and you-know-what is natural and 'everyone' likes it. 🤮 August 11, 2021 at 11:55PM

/u/Noroark on Can asexual people still feel physical (aesthetic) attraction?

Same. August 11, 2021 at 11:54PM

/u/anxiouscakedragon on Boyfriend Dungeon - the roguelike dating sim, where you date your weapons! But also, you can have platonic love instead that's just as strong, there are male, female, and enby love interests, and you can be polyamorous! This looks so cool!

'Oh, Excalibur, the way you killed that ogre was epic! I love you!' Is that what you mean by weapons? August 11, 2021 at 11:52PM

/u/LtLabcoat on Can asexual people still feel physical (aesthetic) attraction?

Yes, but it's different. More like a... "Hey cool, a moving statue" kind of thing. what I want to know is are there any asexual people who feel no physical attraction either? Sorry, you're asking if there are any asexual people... that are asexual? August 11, 2021 at 11:49PM

/u/CultofFelix on Why is coming out asexual so much harder than when I came out homosexual?

Yes, agree. I wrote this in another thread and compared asexuality to homosexuality: I recall from my own experience that it's difficult to explain the concept of asexuality to people who aren't asexual themselves. Maybe this is because a lot of people don't differentiate between sexual attraction and romantic attraction, and I assume for a lot of people sexual attraction and romantic attraction feels the same. Also, the fact that a lot of allos can't properly differentiate between asexuality and celibacy isn't making this easier. Along the lines, a lot of ppl believe that libido is tied to sexuality, or that finding people aesthetically pleasant is also sexual attraction, some would even believe that having functional sexual organs is tied to feeling sexual attraction. Also, although this is overly simplified and doesn't do the topic much justice: asexuality is difficult to understand as a concept because it is defined negatively. It's essentially the la...

/u/Fair-Communication92 on After have read the comment under an asexual video I don't feel bad anymore

That's what the people looking down on ace under that video think it seem. August 11, 2021 at 11:46PM

/u/Fair-Communication92 on After have read the comment under an asexual video I don't feel bad anymore

Did I imply that I wanted to be with someone who want sex in anyway? After have read all of this it confirmed that there's no point of even trying with someone who want sex at all at this point. And what I did do is something that a lot of ace do feel, that since they can't provide sex they feel that they are broken and have nothing to give. You didn't read what I had read under that video, so how can you guess something else than what I mean? For the people I talk about, if there is no sex this just friendship and they obviously can't live together with that person and do what couple do. Nobody have an issue to think about sex without love but love without sex? It can't be love and it's worthless. August 11, 2021 at 11:44PM

/u/I_serve_Anubis on I like anime, but I have a problem with it

Yeah it has, I really don’t like it when over sexualised content or characters are sprung on me. And it tends to happen a lot in anime. That’s one of the things I liked about rurouni kenshin, it’s been awhile since I watched it but there was only one recurring character that was large breasted and sensual, ( and that sensuality usually made the other characters either uncomfortable or angry) but even she dressed conservatively.

/u/LtLabcoat on There should be a word for "horny" that doesn't involve sex

I believe the word you're looking for is "horny". Nnnnnot sure why you associate the word with sex exclusively, but the vast majority of people do not. If I talk about how much I want to touch butts, people will call me horny, even though I didn't say anything about wanting to have sex with butts. August 11, 2021 at 11:43PM

/u/Smooth_Fee on I had a bit of an Ace moment a few days ago, XD

The link isn't working for me :( August 11, 2021 at 11:41PM

/u/LtLabcoat on Something that confuses me as an asexual

are allos ok? Protip: don't use this phrase about sexualities. People will assume you're bigoted against them when you do. August 11, 2021 at 11:38PM

/u/redtailplays101 on After have read the comment under an asexual video I don't feel bad anymore

Many people say that sex is the most important part of a relationship. It just mean that they don't see the value of a relationship without it. Uh, what? That's ridiculous. I'm a demisexual (and likely will engage in sexual activities once I'm of legal age to do so) and I think the most important things in a relationship are trust, loyalty, love, and compatibility. That's what makes a relationship work. Trust your partner, don't go behind their back, love them, and of course you need to work together and be compatible. Don't wanna be butting heads every 5 minutes. You should have the same end goals (do we wanna be married? Have kids? Stay together for the rest of our lives?) and it's best to hold similar beliefs (LGBTQIA+ rights, is BLM fighting systemic racism or are they just an anti-white hate group, defund or defend the police, who should we vote for, etc.) Sex is an important part of a relationship to allos (and aces that do pursue and desire in...
