/u/knightfenris on Is Asexuality where you are afraid of sex?

No. Plenty of asexuals have sex and even love it. We just have little to no sexual attraction toward any gender. June 27, 2022 at 01:19AM

What should I do with me ex

My ex (20M) and I (20M) broke up this past winter because he felt like he couldn’t provide what he needed in the relationship. Essentially it boiled down to him thinking I was better off without him; he had low self-esteem, and thought I was upset because he couldn’t hang out much due to his crazy school / work schedule. He also had pressure from his parents, whom he was closeted to. Anyways, it was really difficult for both of us. We were very in love, and for me, I didn’t really think it had to end, but of course it wasn’t my decision to make. We talked for a few weeks, then went quiet for a couple months. Up until about a month ago, we texted maybe once every few weeks, usually I initiated contact. But then a month ago he started talking to me again; asking how I am, what I’m up to, how the family is. He then kind of rambled on (in text) saying how he really missed me, and he’s “tortured” by the thought of me / missing “us”, and he feels so guilty for what happened. And he wishes...

/u/dee615 on “If you’re a virgin after 25, either there’s something wrong with you mentally or you’re religious”

I just don't get it. It's something I hardly think about. Just an activity I associate with another group. Generally it doesn't occur to me to think about Hanukka, or Kwanzaa, or Ramadan, or World Cup [something] unless I see a picture or article that diverts my attention to it. Then I'm no more than very mildly curious: " it's a big deal to some people" kind of way, and then go back to thinking about getting caught up with chores, or whatever. Ok, maybe a teeny exaggeration to make my point, which is that I almost never think about the sex act unbidden. I am however, intrigued about the psychological angle of different orientations. Even when I'm pondering this issue, I just don't imagine people " doing it". I'm not excited by it, nor am I repelled by it. It's just not in my head space. I can't even imagine going around with sexual thoughts swirling around in one's mind. How do people like that drive without getting i...

/u/AbstrakThought on Are there asexuals who don’t view themselves as being part of the LGBTQ+ community and but are still supportive of the LGBTQ+?

How am I supposed to approach women if most women (and people in general) are visibly on guard against me?

Title. I’m a black man and it’s just really unfortunate being apart of the demographic of men that women by-in-large tend to be afraid of. Sometimes I wish I was white or at the very least appeared less black (sorry if that offends anyone lmao). Submitted June 27, 2022 at 12:12AM Title.
