/u/JamesJoycesSon on Am I ace?

You're definitely aromantic, but we need more info to see if you're ace. Sexual attraction is seeing a person (and maybe getting to know them a bit) and wanting to have sex with them. If you feel that regularly, you're allo, if not, you're ace. November 28, 2023 at 11:08PM

/u/JamesJoycesSon on Compulsory sexuality made me think I have an obligation to be grateful for people being sexually attracted to me

Can't relate unfortunately, but wanted to point our that it's even worse for men than for women. Men are doubly expected to be promiscuous and want sex even more, and all of this because of gender roles and society's expectations to have sex! November 28, 2023 at 11:06PM

/u/ObscuredOragnutan on Is s*x the same as body worship?

I suppose you could think of it that way if that’s what works for you. Though I personally wouldn’t consider body worship and sex as inherently the same thing. There’s certainly some overlap, sure, and you could definitely treat sex as an act of body worship if you’d like to. I adore deep, spiritual connection. Not unlike what you describe, engaging all the senses. But I’m also sex-averse, so do with that what you will. November 27, 2023 at 11:23PM

/u/Lazy-Machine-119 on Just got asked by an allo if as a romantic ace why would I consider dating a post-op trans person... picrel tw:transphobia

For me, yes (trans men btw). But I don't understand why someone being trans is linked to an asexual November 27, 2023 at 11:22PM

/u/TheSquishedElf on I feel like I need to apologize to every romance author I've ever read

Gray-ace here. Freaking horrifying when it happens and you're not prepared for it. Genuinely thought I was going crazy for a while there November 26, 2023 at 11:13PM

Guy I’m seeing said “I love you” then said it was an accident.

I’m (33F) seeing this guy (36M) for two months almost. We were messing around the other day and he teased me about something and I acted like I was going to smack him. To which he replied, “I love you”. We have never said this to one another, but he said it like it was the most natural thing. I said, “what did you just say?” He said it was an accident and not to read into it. What? How can I not read into it? I don’t see him as the kind of guy that throws ‘I love you’ around. Is this how he really feels? Maybe he’s just not ready to say it to me? Or was it really some slip of the tongue? I can’t tell. I tried to ask him about it but he made a joke like he didn’t really want to delve into it. Submitted November 26, 2023 at 12:15AM I’m (33F) seeing this guy (36M) for two months almost.
