As a fictosexual asexual, I think it's the same kind of feeling allos have for their gender(s) of choice. I'm a bit sex repulsed by the real thing because ew-germs-bodily-fluids-gross but when it's not a real person then the idea of sexual attraction suddenly makes a whole lot more sense to me because there are certain characters I absolutely would not mind doing the deed with BECAUSE I know it legitimately could not happen.

Fictosexuals unite! ✊ If doing the deed with a real person doesn't ignite anything for you when you think about it, then you're still asexual. I'm a sexrepulsed ace because the deed itself with another real person grosses me out. However, you set any of my favorite certain fictional characters in front of me I will jump their bones 🤣 September 27, 2023 at 11:11PM

If you're a teen chances are he might not take it seriously until you're an adult, unfortunately. If you're an adult, just tell him that you're not into girls nor guys, that they both are the same to you and neither is appealing. Sure, there's the chance your dad might think you're gay/lesbian so don't say it unless it's worth it. You can also say that dating never appealed to you and kissing a person has the same appeal of kissing a wall. You wouldn't even have to use the word "asexual" bc I think the message is pretty obvious here September 27, 2023 at 11:09PM

I have. But does QPR inherently mean same-sex? Because I'm not really interested in forming a relationship like that with a man. September 27, 2023 at 11:08PM

To most people, no means no and yes means yes in a vanilla situation. I have also never tried sex and I'm not planning to, but a safe word is a great choice for all types of sexual intimacy. It could be because it's easier to say something like "red light" instead of no because even in vanilla situations, people might try to be coy and say 'no' without actually meaning 'no'. This is where a safe word comes in, saying something that isn't usually said during usually kinda triggers a stop button in someone's brain because it's not a coy 'no' it's Strawberry or something. It helps create a non-negotiable boundary that helps keep both parties safe and content in a situation. It also helps keep the confusion of "did they mean no or are they just saying no?" out of the picture. I hope this helps! September 27, 2023 at 11:07PM
