So I came out to my mom as asexual and she said this..
“Mom, I’m gonna come out to you.”
“What?”
“I’m asexual.”
“What is that?”
“You don’t know what this?”
“No.”
“Basically, I don’t feel sexual attraction. Like at all. It doesn’t exist to me.”
“You think other people feel something..?”
😮😮
“UH YEAH, everyone.. society!?!?”
Honestly I’m just confused.

Greek mythology had ace representation. Apart from Artemis there was Daphne who turned herself in to a tree rather than give in to Apollo (statue by Bernini).

I’m not ace, quick question about an ace friend of my boyfriend looking at sexual photos of him and I
My boyfriend and I (M) are both gay, 16 nearly 17. His best friend (F) is 19, and asexual. She says she’s usually disgusted by the thought of sex. Trigger warning: very mild sexual description in this post.
Recently my boyfriend went out for the day with her, an hour’s train journey away, whilst I stayed at home. He left his phone with her whilst he was in a clothes shop changing room, but it was accidentally unlocked.
Whilst he was stuck in the changing room, she swiped through dozens of his photos until she came across nudes of him that he had sent to me. She made a joke to him, he called out and told her to stop whilst nervously laughing, but she kept going until she was looking at nudes of both of us. She looked through about a dozen nudes of each of us whilst he kept saying to stop from the changing room.
Once she’d gone through those nudes, she kept swiping through and found more photos from when we had sexted, and kept going through yet another dozen nudes of each of us. We’re both underage, 16, and she’s 19.
I feel violated that she looked through both of our nudes when he was telling her not to, and I was tens of miles away and didn’t know what was happening. She made light-hearted jokes the entire time she looked through the photos about the angles and body parts in the photos.
She believes this is okay because she is asexual, so this was just harmless fun. I think, even ignoring that she is an adult and we are not, this is very creepy and the fact that she kept going through the photos after “accidentally” finding the first one makes me think she might have been curious by the nudes, even if she isn’t attracted.
You are all in a better position than me to judge. Is this still creepy given she is ace? And does it sound like she was “curious”? Does the fact that you aren’t sexual yourselves means you could nonchalantly go through a friend’s nudes without realising it is wrong?

Rant about inclusion and acceptance
I'm realising everyday thanks to Ace communities on Reddit how wrong LGB friends and online strangers have been to tell me I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ Community which they told me "is centered around sex and love attraction" because I have none of those (I'm sex repulsed).
Some even said I wasn't part of the LGBTQIA+, but then told me A is for ally. So even if it didn't mean Aro or Ace (I'm both of those), I can't be a part of the Allies. While I completely support them.
...Forgive me this next sentence. I've finally come to the conclusion that these people were saying a lot of bs and I'm not okay with that. I've felt rejected, invalid and broken for. so. long.
If my problems were nothing because I have no need to hide in the darn toilets to kiss my bf/gf (since I have none nor the desire to have one), then why did I have people saying a whole lot of "you're not complete without doing it", a pinch of "Are you normal" and a whole truck ton of "YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING" ?! And that's not even counting the classics but always there "you're young, you still have the time to change your mind" and the "when it falls on you, you'll see you can't do anything but follow it".
I didn't asked to be pitied in the "poor thing" or "clumsy girl" way, and I certainly didn't asked to be hated or looked like an alien at all! I wanted and needed support!
And maybe, juuuuuust maybe I don't want to change who I am! I didn't decided to be Aroace but I'm finally at a point where I know it's actually alright to be that and love it.
I apologize to everyone reading this. I want to bring positive and happy things and feelings to everyone, but just this once I needed to let that out. It's been bubbling up my whole life and I'll be 3 decades old next year, so it's been quite a while!
So I turned to the only place where I know people would understand me, at least a tinsy bit.
Thank you for being out there, that means a whole lot to me :,)
