I was told that I'm "not gay" because I'm asexual.

I'm homoromantic and asexual, and someone actually told me this. What does that even mean?

They were aware of the fact that I'm homoromantic, but they said I can't truly be gay unless I'm explicitly SEXUALLY attracted to men.

Why?

Am I the only one who sees no point in coming out?

I know I'm in the asexual community, but I don't see much of a reason to tell anyone.

Why should they need to know that? Unless they are my partner, it is irrelevant to them.

If someone asks me directly what my sexuality is, then I don't mind telling them.

I've only told around 5 IRL people. And yea. I don't think the others need to know.

Am I right in thinking this?

Debunking literall "Sex= Everything better" with logic and reason

A lot of "reaserch" had been done on the topic of sex.

And a lot of them suck.


Reaserch on this topic claim that:

*Frequent sexual intercourse can boost your health not only physical one, but psychological and relationship one too, via:

- Boosting your heartbeat

- Lowering your blood pressure

- Getting better sleep

- Boosting of your immune system

- Decreasing of depression and anxiety

- Relationships who have frequent sex are usually healthier overall

- Releasing sexual tension




Most of these beneficts can be achieved simply by exercising regularly, or even masturbation, and eating healthy.

The rest of these points aren't really about sex, for example when you have a partner, you probably won't have sex with them, if you don't trust them or if they abuse you, and overall you're anxious around them.

sex ≠ Good relationships

Sex can be a part of a healthy relationship, but it can't be the only thing that keeps it going.



Therefore, my fellow aces, if you're sex repulsed and don't masturbate, or just don' t enjoying it that much,
exercise,
eat healthy
and set healthy boundaries with other people.

In my philosophy tutorial the TA mentioned how people who knew Nietzsche described him as “a man who had never touched a woman” and someone else in the class went like “Aww” in a tone like that was the saddest thing they’d ever heard, and said “No wonder he was a nihilist.”

Admittedly I don’t think Nietzsche was asexual and/or aromantic. I didn’t pay much attention in class (whoops) but I think he said stuff about women that gave me incel vibes.


But still! Why do you have to lack a partner to be a nihilist? Can’t people just be nihilists because the universe is big and uncaring and everything, including romance/sex only has the meaning we ascribe to it? Did they mean to imply that “Love” is what gives life meaning? Yuck! I almost spoke up but I chickened out.

This isn’t the first time I’ve almost mentioned being aroace in the class. There’s been a lot of mention of philosophers talking about how important “Love” is and it always makes me feel weird. I don’t know why I’m too awkward to say anything. I guess I’m worried it would seem like TMI? Like “why are you telling me this?” Even if it was relevant.
