Welcome to the Ace community. I almost cried reading this post because it was a lot like my experience—when I first found out I was Ace. It still gets difficult for me—months after my revelation. I just wanted to share these links about Ace Dad. He really helps me out. Coming Out Podcast with Partner January 31, 2022 at 11:57PM

I really never came out as I never really had any friends as I also have schizoid personality disorder and most of my friends didn't care that I wasn't interested in sex and being sexually attracted to someone. Only figured out I was asexual until I did some research in my 30's January 31, 2022 at 11:54PM

Thanks....suffice it to say I have always been conscientious to make sure she's ready through oral sex until she tells me she wants me. She always climax s either that way or if I side with her stimulating her clitoris. I think ...yes it's a libido thing...but never has she just wanted to help me out...in the past she always did get to "release" even if I didn't....I was fine with it,since it was what I considered intimacy with her...if she isn't in the mood...nothing happens ... period. Over years it's just gone from monthly to now nothing in the last year..... January 31, 2022 at 11:49PM

I only hear very strong opinions about this. I’ve been lifting for 10 years now, and I still can’t tell whether or not it’s okay to meet people there and score dates. Seems like 50% say it’s creepy and no one is there for that, then the other 50% say it’s perfectly normal and most single people who are working out are specifically doing it to look good and attract a partner, so it’s a perfect place to meet someone new. So I’m confused. I’m my experience, it works just fine. Most people are cool about it. I’ve been in relationships where I’m the “fit” one, and I really wish she would take fitness more seriously. So, instead of meeting people at bars or through work, why not meet someone at the gym? That way you know you’re both self-motivated to be healthy and you already have that in common. What do you guys think? Are you working out to look better for others as well as yourself? Is the gym not a good place to meet people? If you think it’s creepy, why? Submitted February 01, ...

I (24F) started dating my partner (23M) about six months ago. I dated one of his good friends years ago and after that relationship ended, my now partner and I, along with a handful of my partner's friends stayed connected through the end of college (spring 2020), and formed a smaller friend group that got to hang out online each week because we couldn't hang in person. This group consisted of me, my now partner, his then girlfriend, and three mutual friends. The girlfriend (23F today) and I were on good terms at the time; she helped me get through the breakup with the guy who first introduced me to them all and helped me feel included even though I went to a different college. It was tough staying in touch with the group in the beginning of the pandemic because everyone felt underwater, but by the winter of 2020, we were staying in pretty decent contact and started texting about things outside of the games we played online that brought us together. Then the girlfriend ended ...

Here’s some context: I‘ve had a bit of a fucked up upbringing. To make it short: My Dad used to be a violent asshole (He would beat my brother as a baby for crying too loud and verbally abused me all throughout my life) and my Mum was through and through a narcissistic manipulator. Everyday of my childhood was full of screams, objects breaking and me waking up in the morning terrified. So needless to say, I wasn’t given the best example of what a healthy relationship is. Because of that I have never really been crazy about the whole dating thing. I believed that a relationship can be nothing but painful and should be avoided. I have had a thing with a guy every once in a while but would stop it and push them away every time before it got too serious. I went through some tough years in my short life. I suffered from depression and almost killed myself, only to pull myself out of that state all by myself. Today I live on my own and have finally been happy and relatively worry free fo...
