/u/TooIdleForUsername on Romantic Asexual or just traumatized?

So many red flags... only you are able to tell and say who you are and no else's opinion can/should matter while you are defining yourself. "However, despite our love for each other our largest problem in our relationship is our intimacy (or lack thereof)." -> intimacy is NOT only sex. Intimacy can be ANYTHING you want. Else you had get a very unhealthy definition on intimacy. "Sex for me was always a bit of a chore. I didn’t necessarily dislike sex with him, but I was definitely neutral. I appreciated it for the closeness that it provided afterwards, but not really anything else. I didn’t experience desire and I have no idea what it means to be “horny”. Sex feels physically good in the moment and I have orgasmed before, but I’ve never craved it." -> seems like me... grey asexual, than again it is an spectrum. Not repulsed, but at the same time ONLY doing it to please your loved ones. I love aftercare as well, it is the kind of intimacy/sensuality which...

/u/MoonBeamerGirl on I want to get an ace flag, but I'm not out to my family yet. Does anyone have any ideas for something small I can make to subtly show my pride?

There’s a really cute ace shirt on Amazon featuring kittens with the colors of the ace flag! Very cute and subtle September 19, 2020 at 12:03AM

/u/FashionableKitty on Random Flag mashup bot on Twitter gave me an idea to combine the ace flag with the flag of SFR Yugoslavia, so here's the result.

I... well... honestly, this makes me uncomfortable. Yugoslavia is such a recent thing and living here, seeing the flag fly again at the anti goverment protests, this just looks weird. Currently we have huge debates whether it's appropriate to use the red star and other symbols of the old country as the symbols of anti establishment protests going on right now, because, well, 30 years ago the anti establishment protest were against Yugoslavia (and then the war started, and, yeah... You know what happened.) It's complicated is my point. This isn't a flag of, say, Prussia, something that already has a distance of history behind it. This is still alive and well and INCREDIBLY sensitive. September 19, 2020 at 12:02AM

/u/sorry97 on For all my fellow aces and community, something to learn.

Beg to differ. As some of you may know already the DSM has changed A LOT in the past 50 years when it comes to sexuality. For example, if you look at one of the very first pages of “psychopathia sexualis” (idk if I wrote it right), it says it is “rare for a man to not be interested in a female companion, same as a female actively looking for a male companion” (it states that in other words, but this is basically what it means. Homosexuality was considered a mental disease back then, and it took a pretty long time for it to change (even now, conversion therapy and other stuff exists, so it is still treated like a disease in some places). So what does all of this have to do with asexuality? First of all, if you are asexual you’re referring to your sexual orientation, which is different to sexual attraction (yes, even non asexuals aren’t interested in sex from time to time, they aren’t in the “mood” or whatever). But this is the tricky part, when exactly is it asexuality and when do...

/u/MoonBeamerGirl on Do you microwave your cake/pastries?
