Kinda yeah. At least in high school I was curious about it, always thinking about romance, what it would be like, and all of that. I assume that's romance frustration. Buuuut not anymore since I've been there and done that May 21, 2022 at 12:46AM

Yeah, no. Those are just words for sexual orientations. We have other suffixes for other types of attraction. You mostly see -romantic, but most people outside the aro and ace communities conflate sex and romance so it's sticky. May 21, 2022 at 12:46AM

We're taught that sex is the absolute best thing a person can ever experience and you're miserable if you don't. I had a friend in college who I explained asexuality to multiple times and he always went back to "well that doesn't make sense, how can you not feel sexual attraction? everyone does it's natural" Haven't talked to him in six years and it's saved a lot of headaches. Thankfully my family and friends understand and accept it May 21, 2022 at 12:45AM

Hey hey, I am sure to the objective person this will be clear as day, but to me it’s not. Me (F32) and this guy (M31) hooked up about 3 months ago. What happened after was pretty regular texts from him and VEEEERY regular booty calls every weekend night. I did not always engage, because duuuh I have a life. But after some hookups and cuddles, naturally some chemistry started to happen. He brought it up that he thinks we are on different timelines and that he would like to see me more and date. And even though I am in a phase in my life where I wasn’t looking for that, I said that I’d be open to see how that would go as I like him. Afterwards, he was very affectionate and texting for a few days then noooothing until a booty call that I ignored. Couple days later had a brief convo and I did some emotional offloading (never texting reactive again) and he responded to some of it. Then again nothiiiiing. Until, you guessed it - booty call. I told him no more booty calls, I’d rather be with

Do they, though? Or do they just like it because they're supposed to? I mean, we hear of plenty of people who stay in relationships or have sex because they think they're supposed to and never stop to think if they want it in the first place. May 21, 2022 at 12:45AM

There are other guys who are no better looking than me who are getting women asking them to message or saying they did. I post and I get one like and it just hurts because it’s like what did I do to not deserve attention. I know I shouldn’t but fuck.
