[Poll Results] Asexuality and Physical Affection
*I made a poll about asexuality and physical affection. Looking back, I kind of regret that I gave people the option to put their own answers for some questions, because some people basically gave answers that were a prewritten answer, but in their own words, which made gathering up the results quite time-consuming.*
*Anyways, I got 428 answers and here are the results:*
​
**What's your sexuality?**
Asexual-83%
Demisexual-8%
Questioning-6.1%
Grey Ace-1.4%
Aego/Autochrisosexual-0.8%
Allosexual-0.7%
​
**What's your romanticism?**
Heteroromantic-27.4%
Aromantic-22.2%
Questioning-13.9%
Biromantic-13.4%
Panromantic-9%
Homoromantic-8%
Demiromantic-2.5%
​
*The percent that are not accounted for here, stem from the fact that I let people add their own answers and there were too many options to include them all in this list and still present it clearly.*
​
**Do you like kissing?**
No-24.5%
Not sure-23.6%
Yes, but only with romantic partners-22.4%
I don't mind-13.7%
Yes-11.1%
​
*The majority of people who gave their own answers said one of these:*
\-Yes, but not on the lips/not with tongue/not with spit
\-Yes, but only short kisses/pecking
​
**Do you like cuddling?**
Yes-50.9%
Yes, but only with romantic partners-23.6%
No-9.2%
I don't mind-7.8%
Not sure-7.8%
​
**Would you have sex?**
No-48.9%
Yes-31%
Not sure-18.4%
I have in the past, but I wouldn't now-10.4%
​
*People who gave their own answers mainly said, that*
\-They'd be willing to try it once
\-It depends on the partner/romantic connection
\-yes, but not penetration
​
**If you said yes, why?** *(I also wanna mention, that there were a couple of clowns, who obviously didn't read the question and wrote "No", "I wouldn't")*
To make my partner happy-58.5%
I like it-11.4%
Curiosity/To try it/To see if I like it-9.8%
To have a baby-7.4%
​
*A lot of people also said that it was a combination of factors for them.*
*And here are a couple of answers I found interesting:*
"I think the comfort of sex with a commited relationship feels more stable to me."
"I want to like it and I still hope it could change."
"Primarily as an avenue for exploring my own interest in kink and BDSM"
"Mostly to make my partner happy, but also to get to the cuddles on the other side"
"I'm occasionally in the mood, about 4-5 times a year. My partner always initiates though and if I'm not feeling it, I tell him no."
​
*Thank you to everyone who took the time to answer the poll and I hope people find the results interesting!*

Going to clubs as an ace
Hey guys, I hope you're doing alright. Mandatory apology for the long body of text.
So me and some friends went to a club for dancing and drinks. Late into the night they found people to flirt and dance with. I had fun, I was fine hanging out with my friends, listening to music, dancing like no one was watching and sipping on fancy coloured cocktails.
I thought it was a Friday night well spent until the conversation turned to the fact I wasn't flirting with anyone. Things like "they need to get me away from my asexuality" and "I feel asexual because my ex was ugly "(I don't even know what that has to do with anything) were suggested in the said convo.
I don't have a problem with my body or my looks, but they seem to be fine with the conclusion that I'm not into flirting and hookups because I don't like how I look.
Does anyone experienced a similar thing where they had to prove that they were fine not flirting and dancing uncomfortablely close to a stranger?
