My daughter (freshman in high school) told me she was Asexual, what’s next?
Hello! first off, I want to say forgive me if I get any of the terms wrong. I am here to educate myself as a momma!
Second, I want to say that as a momma, reading a lot of your stories….. You are all such beautiful souls. I hope all of your lives are filled with happiness. You deserve it!
My daughter has told me she is asexual, and non romantic? (She doesn’t want to be touched. At all). My questions are…. Well. I’m not exactly sure? Obviously I responded with respect, and a massive hug telling her I love her no matter who she loves, and we had a long talk. Oh. Yeah. And we live in the south. 🙃😑 so that can put a damper on anyone’s party.
So I guess, my question is, what’s next? What do I do to support her? when do I buy the flags and start screaming how proud and how much I love my asexual daughter? I mean, she’s a freshman in high school. Surly kids are knowing who they are at a younger age, isn’t that what our generation was trying to do? Pave the road for future generations to live in peace? (Well. We tried. I’m not a boomer. So….) and to no longer have the need to come out, just “be”.
I hope what I’m saying is making sense. I knew at a very young age, (because of my best friend being gay and their awful experiences growing up in the south…) that no matter who my children love, I would love them even more. But I also am trying not to overcompensate the task at hand too, if that makes sense.
Help.
Love,
A momma.

Nothing says "I don't care who you are as a person" like asking if you want FWB/Casual.
I'm not sure what it is with some folks but I tend to attract people who say they want to be my friend, then they ask me if i'm interested in CASUAL/FWB - and then when I tell then that i'm not interested, they choose to stop talking to me.
I don't quite understand this technique but the way it comes off to me is "You don't really matter, I just need a willing orifice to stick my genitalia in to".
This happens to me so often, it's like as soon as they find out that i'm not interested in having sex with them, it's over.
How the heck do you find people who are actually genuinely interested is beyond me... I'm also Autistic so my social skills are already not super great.
Anyways, just wanted to rant a little bit about this.
