/u/lowkey_rainbow on Is it uncomfortable for asexuals to know that someone is sexually attracted to you?

I’m sex indifferent and romance repulsed aroace. If I think someone if romantically interested then yes I do feel quite uncomfortable, the idea of me dating anyone makes me feel gross and I guess someone telling me they think about me that way is an extension of that. If someone is interested in me sexually then I don’t really feel anything either way, except perhaps mildly guilty that I don’t feel anything back. That said, if I turn them down then that feels a bit awkward (but just in the same way as if you say no when someone offers you some food and you don’t want it, like you’re being ungrateful) and if I accept then I worry they’ll want something more (but that’s mostly me being romance repulsed). Ask your partner, they’ll know best as it varies massively from person to person August 20, 2023 at 11:33PM

/u/Meghanshadow on What are things that shouldn't be sexualized but are sexualized?

Oh man, the daddy/mommy/baby sexy thing just is really incomprehensible. I just do not understand how people can do that without connotations of incest/pedophilia. It squicks me every time. Had a friend argue that Daddy was just so very obviously different from referring to any actual Dad and it shouldn’t bug me. She overshared about her sex life and used Daddy a lot. I asked her how she’d feel if I said Grandpa was getting lucky tonight because of my new toy and lingerie purchase to celebrate my birthday. She said that was different, and huffed off.

/u/morningglory_catnip on Why do some people think being asexual=being aromantic?

Well because I’m asexual and I also don’t date people. Because honestly usually you date people to meet someone to have sex, if you’re Allo, which is most of culture. I guess I just happen to be both some degree of aromantic and also ace. 🤷🏻 August 19, 2023 at 11:27PM

Mom doesn't approve my new relationship.

Hi am I a 32M I came out of a 10 year relationship last year and after a few months I met someone, a foreigner 37F female. She had 2 kids and lots her job mid relationship period and was not able to find a new job. After 5 months of me supporting her and her kids and me draining all of my savings, plus tons of pressure from my family I left her. It was a messy breakup because she didn't accept it well, but after 3 weeks I met someone, a 33F with a very similar personality to mine and we have been hitting it up fantastically well, everything between us matches even our life goals, she is also a foreigner. My mom accidentally found out I was talking to this girl and so I came clean because of last dramas. My mom got super upset saying, "here I go again getting crazy about the first person I meet and how I should meet people offline." And that she is a foreigner and all she wants is to take advantage of me. Also she is full of tattoos and my parents are old fashioned and ha...

Is it normal to sometimes not be that attracted to your girlfriend/boyfriend?

I (24m) have been seeing a girl (20f) that I met at work. There are days where I see her as the prettiest girl and can’t stop smiling when I talk to her. Then there are days where I just see a person. Sometimes I just hangout with her to have company. Is this normal? I really don’t want to hurt her feelings if all my feelings fade away. Please someone give me feedback.
