I always just felt either indifferent, like it was a task I did to make my boyfriend happy and nothing else, or uncomfortable when kissing. So I relate to you on that. I don’t have much experience on this front though (only have kissed 2 people in my 23 yrs of life). It just seems weird to me and not like something I could see me initiating with future partners unless they do first. July 12, 2023 at 11:16PM

In some areas, it's commonly viewed as "code", due to asexuality being more socially acceptable in those areas. I've had that before; people assumed I and a friend were lesbian because we were sharing an apartment, never mind that we each had our own room. My refusal to let neighbors set me up on a date didn't help the perception. July 12, 2023 at 11:15PM

Yep. Especially when I was younger and I didn't know asexuality was a thing. I would tell people I'm not interested in boys and they were like "well then you're a lesbian" and that didn't feel right either. It's similar with the idea that Bi people are "gay and in denial" July 12, 2023 at 11:15PM

Jag är också nyfiken på receptet, om man kan få det hehe :) Ser ju så otroligt god ut! July 12, 2023 at 11:12PM

I am 23F and only know 1 other ace person IRL, I would love to get to know other ace friends though! July 12, 2023 at 11:11PM

That’s why I also asked my question. As a woman who’s been slut shamed since 12, I’m not sure how the question could be innocent, but if it is, it’d be helpful for the commenter to recognize what most women or female presenting individuals face regularly. This way they can moderate their behavior in the future. July 12, 2023 at 11:07PM
