34F unsure if she’s ready for a relationship or if this 34M is a red flag?

I (34F asexual) recently got into a relationship with a 36M. We met on OLD. This is my first relationship. I’ve always been very picky and learned late that I was asexual. I only started dating because I feel like it’s time, given I’m 34 years old, and I want to start a family and kids.
My boyfriend is perfect in almost every aspect - he’s sweet, romantic, thoughtful, observant, family oriented, and treats me very well. The thing is, there are some things about him that make me question if he is the one for me and make me question if I’m ready for a relationship. I’ve always known I wanted to save sex until after marriage because I grew up in a religious household. I told him this during our first date, and it threw him off, but he said he could accept it. But he keeps bringing it up, asking if I’m going to be flexible or if we could compromise. It got to the point where I requested a break because he keeps wanting to push my boundaries. I told him I was asexual, but he said he didn’t believe me. He said my actions say otherwise?
He also seems too sweet, too romantic, and too in love with me. It’s only been 2 months of dating, but he said I love you in less than a month and has planned our entire future together. I feel like I’m being dragged along in this relationship trying to go at his speed. I want someone who can be my friend foremost, and he isn’t a friend. This makes me question if I’m ready to date, because I’ve lived my life of 34 years alone, and the thought of having to compromise my independence isn’t that appealing.
I’ve talked to him about how we are incompatible in this aspect, but he still thinks we can work it out.
What do I do as an older asexual who wants to start a family but isn’t ready to be in a relationship with someone who loves me more than I love him?

Does anybody else feel like their genitalia isn't part of their body?

What is the difference between Queer platonic relationships and Romantic relationships?

I know there is a difference but I try to imagine it and I just can't. I'd like to be with someone for cuddles and kisses, overwhelming affection and a bit of laughs. I couldn't imagine my life without someone like them (even though I practically live like that). Though I don't know how I'd feel about that "I love you." Is this how it feels in qpr, or something else? How exactly does it feel to be in 'love'?

Something i needed to tell

I guess I just wanted tell my story. I’m coming from a very homophobic country in which the very idea of lgbtq+ is frowned upon so it took me a while to learn it even exists. And i learned about “sex” when i was quite young, I somehow put two and two together and decided that it was disgusting. Thinking that my mind will probably change as I grow up. Long story short it didn’t change much, I wasn’t disgusted as I was before but I knew I wasn’t ever gonna do it. And I consulted myself that I didn’t have to worry about it cuz no one was going to be interested in me anyway. I started to think that I was broken and something was really wrong with me -my mother’s accusation about how dumb and shitty i am helped it-. Then I learned about asexuality and for the first time for something clicked and I realized maybe I wasn’t broken at all and I belonged to somewhere. Yes I’m not out to anyone except my closest friends and my country is full of people who is probably repulsed by the idea of asexuality but I know despite all these I still proud of who I am. (English is not my native language so im sorry for if it’s not understandable, i just wanted rant a little and tell my story, thanks for existing)

A movie with no unnecessary sex scenes!!

I recently watched The Old Guard on Netflix and TW: there's lots of blood, gore and swearing, but there was zero unnecessary sex scenes (there were none) or sexualised scenes and it was so refreshing to watch. The romance between two of the characters and the group's friendship were so pure, I highly recommend giving it a go if your into action movies!

My friends say Asexuality isn´t real

Yes it is!!! 😡

I got shipped with guys i don´t like by a """Friend""" and i said i think i might be Aroace and she said "ewww are you dumb?" and she also said "you must have s*x with <Insert name> why can´t people understand asexuality like can they mind their own business???

Came out to my gf

I accidentally came out to my girlfriend a couple days ago (biromantic asexual :)) in a PowerPoint presentation I sent her and guess what?

She’s also ace.

We’re gonna talk about boundaries in person but it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. There’s no anxiety over in person meetings because there is no expectation of sex that I can’t give. We’re semi long distance because she lives in the city I go to uni in but I’m seeing her tomorrow and I’m so excited. We’ve only been dating for about a month but I think I love her 😳

Thought it might be nice to read a feel good story!

What are your feelings towards alcohol consumption?

Allo person here, all of the ace people I've been involved with have been teetotalers and I'm curious if there is a trend with ace people or just strange coincidence. If you choose a negative opinion on alcohol consumption, please consider leaving a comment as to your perspective. I have the utmost respect for ace people, please don't feel disrespected by this question.

Soooo... what’s so cool about porn?

I can’t be the only ace who doesn’t understand porn, right? Like what’s so hot about it?

(Only reason i watch it like once every freaking 4 months is to educate myself on how to do the deed once time is near lmfao)

That stuff does NOT turn me on.

What should a group of Aces be called?

A group of Crows is called a Murder

A group of Dolphins are called a Pod

So what would A group of aces be called?

I’ve seen a lot of people wondering if they are welcome in the ace community recently so I decided to make a very short guide to determine if you are

If your are asking, yes. It doesn’t matter if your young or sex-positive, if you don’t experience sexual attraction to the same level as allos, you are ace. How you feel may change in the future but what matters is how you feel now.
