Told a friend I was asexual and it didn’t go well.
He said, “I don’t think you’re asexual, I think you’ve just had bad experiences with men and now you don’t want to have sex anymore because of it. I’m sure you will be able to overcome this”. I’ve never had anyone react positively to me telling them i was ace, literally ever. They either just laugh it off like I didn’t say anything or actively invalidate my existence. Even the closest people to me don’t take it seriously. It was already difficult and took over 5 years for me to fully accept that I’m ace but the fact that not a single person in my life accepts me just makes me never want to say anything about it ever again. Also, I recently told another close friend of mine I was ace and she hasn’t spoken to me since. When i thought I was bi, all of these people said they accepted me unconditionally. I just feel heartbroken and over it all.

Asexuality Questionnaire
Hiya, I hope everyone is doing well today! I am a Social Anthropology Undergraduate Student at the University of Edinburgh doing my dissertation research on asexuality, specifically asexuality and the erotic, however this questionnaire is looking into how asexual people interact with relationships. I hope this is an ok place for me to be posting this. For more information there is also an information sheet attached to the questionnaire. Thank you and keep having a lovely week.
You can find the questionnaire here: Asexuality Questionnaire

Sex, but as a statement
I often joke about being a bad asexual with my friends because you'll meet few people as flirty and open about talking about sex and kink as me. Here's the thing though, sex and anything related to it is like a really funny joke or a mildly interesting topic for me. It's not something I really enjoy engaging in and if you look past the jokes I'm actually pretty indifferent to everything about it and make a very clear line between my jokes and true feelings.
So my question is this; are their any other aces out there that openly talk/ joke about sex even though they have little to interest in engaging with it or how do you feel about the topic being brought up in general?
