Oh wow, I had forgotten about this... I saw that episode before I found out I was ace. And I remember thinking that the episode seemed weirdly cruel to have been written that way. That despite there being a term for it, asexuality, that a "tumor" was making the character ace. It left a sour taste in my mouth, and I felt disappointed afterward but shrugged it off thinking "I guess that's how it is then". I was disappointed because I thought they were going to answer something for me that I didn't know at the time - could there be people happily together who don't have sex? And they said, "no" and back then I was kind of sad to hear that answer. And... yeah... now I know why I was sad. November 10, 2019 at 12:22AM

He was the first man I met on match and I let him come over to the house. I suppose I was feeling risky. Most of our time spent together was risky. Too much drinking, sex too quickly. I suppose I was feeling lonely, or bored; likely both. I liked him instantly. I think I liked him. He wasn’t my typical type, not that I have one. I should say, he was not as good looking as I usually go for. Not as preppy but smart. Not much ambition at all and clearly broken. I think I liked how broken he seemed, it made me feel safe. When we kissed it felt like magic. I don’t say that generously. I’ve had long-term relationships with men who never sparked the kind of things I felt when I kissed him. It was all downhill after the first kiss. Two broken people convinced that they’d be hurt by one another, racing to see who could scare the other one away the fastest. I won. It took about a month and a half, but I won. I think the STI accusation is what finally did me in. They call them STIs now (sexually...

33/f here.  Over the summer, someone from my childhood friend-requested me on Facebook. No big deal. He started liking / commenting on a lot of my posts. I guess we both realized we share a sense of humor and share views on a lot of things, so we started tagging each other in posts, having small conversations on posts via comments. That went on for a few months, and then he messaged me one day. We sporadically messaged for a month or two, and then he gave me his number and asked if I wanted to text instead.  So I texted him. We texted a bit but it was sporadic. One night we watched the same movie and texted pretty much all night.  About a week and a half ago, I thought of something that reminded me of him, so I texted him. It turned into a week and a half of non-stop texting. From wake-up to bedtime. Nothing flirty, but we were catching up on each other's lives, discussing interesting topics, hobbies, telling jokes, etc.  A few times he took hours to respond when h...

Did you watch "Mamma Mia! Here we go again"? I was laughing so hard at those scenes, when SPOILER that one girl goes to the bed with the guys she just met because i thought the scenarist made these scenes as a parody of all those "i don't normally do this" tropes. Turns out hippies really did something like that, and it was a normal portrayal of straight sex in those times. I was so stunned, when i learned that. November 10, 2019 at 12:18AM

I honestly don't bring it up unless somebody asks me personal questions, which is basically never. November 10, 2019 at 12:14AM

Haha. I have to go for check ups every 6 months. My gynecologist keeps reminding me to use protection. I just say yeah, because it's been 2 years since I started going and every single time she asks...my answer is the same. I don't have sex. I guess she can't understand I really don't.

Just to let you know, you will have to do it once you are +25, whether you are active or not. November 10, 2019 at 12:12AM
