/u/ConfusedWithASD on I know asexual/ace spectrum is one of my identities because

Do you have attractions? Daydreaming can be with or without attractions or desire. It kinda blurs when it's just thoughts rhanks to OCD and aegosexuality. Sounds like you're sex-repulsed at least for labeling it. June 19, 2023 at 11:30PM

/u/Asphalt_in_Rain on Honestly aphobia makes no sense

That is part of my life I would say. Just because your experiences dont align with "typical ace experiences" doesnt have to mean that you cannot be ace. Asexuality is a spectrum and there are so many different ace experiences. And saying that you dont like sex very often and find it boring or see it as a chore sometimes, is something that a lot of aces can relate to in one way or another.
