Tell me you’re asexual/aromantic , without telling me you’re asexual/aromantic.

I used to think I had crushes on all my friends, then I realized that crushes aren’t the same thing as friends, and I had never felt this ‘crush’ thing people were talking about. I also told my friends that I had my first kiss, I forgot to mention that it was a Hershey’s chocolate kiss. When they asked who it was with I got confused and asked why I had to share my chocolate.

Can an Ace and an Allo be together? Will it work?

I was thinking that after the last post here that surprisingly a small minority of allos would be with an ace but I'm curious on how would it work. I know Aces are not necessarily sex repulsed but would allos be that open minded? I've heard from sexologists that sex is the basis of any lasting relationship. I do believe in love but apparently is better if an Ace is with another Ace as the allo as much as he/she tries won't ever understand us.

Then there's my personal issue. I'm 25 and has never been in a relationship. I don't know but for me I feel an ace would be more accepting of this fact rather than an allo but I might be wrong. What do you think? Any personal experiences?

I asked an AI to draw asexuality for me and quite honestly I was a little impressed.

Anyone here rather live with a group of close friends instead of with a partner?

Im just starting to feel like it makes more sense to live with multiple people that make you happy instead of just one.

The friends I lived with in college felt like family to me and I honestly felt like I didn’t need anything more. I feel like society has made this expectation to date, find a partner and start a family. Family and love come in different forms. The only correct one is the one that makes you happy.

I was just curious if anyone else has felt this way too?

Since Netflix is getting more inclusive of asexuality I hope they give us a character with more than 5 seconds of screen time soon

Don’t knock it till you try it?

I keep remembering this phrase… my x said it to me when he wanted to take the relationship to a more physical level. Whatever we did it wasn’t sex, but I also remember hating it. I’m just wondering… are there any other virgin, sex-repulsed aces? Or is this actually something to “do” before figuring it out?

(UPDATE) My boyfriend made me touch him while I was asleep. Is it okay for me to feel hurt?

original post

I’m going to preface this by saying this may not be the update you all want to hear. Nonetheless, I’m extremely grateful for the overwhelming amount of support I received from this community.

After my first confrontation with my boyfriend, I disassociated and tried my best to let go of the issue. This didn’t work. I couldn’t sleep and I physically felt ill. I wanted to throw up most of the time. I was completely disgusted and thrown off by his non-sexual touch.

Tonight, I pretty much broke down looking at your comments. I knew I needed to bring this up again. What I experienced wasn’t okay and I wasn’t gonna let it go. I showed him the Reddit post I made. He began to shake and I asked him to look me in the eyes and tell me whether he did it on purpose. He still insisted he wasn’t conscious when it happened. He apologized for hurting me. He said even though he didn’t do it on purpose, what he did was fucked up and wrong. He said he understands if I choose to leave him at any point in time and his feelings don’t matter in this situation. I saw him struggle not to cry. He broke down occasionally.

I also confronted him about something he said in the past that is related to what happened. A few years ago, he said that he wanted to have sex with me while I was asleep. I told him this was rape. He said he used to have fucked up ideas about sex and had a porn addiction.

I gave him an ultimatum. He has to seek help for sexsomnia and just therapy in general or I can no longer continue this relationship for my own safety. He agreed. He will be sleeping on the floor for the remainder on this visit. He won’t touch me until I feel comfortable. He says he doesn’t care how long it takes and it doesn’t matter. He says he loves me and he could never imagine doing what he did consciously as I’ve been through so much in my life. He says hurting me is the last thing he would ever want.

I will also be getting therapy for what happened. I believe I need to talk to someone about it other than him. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and PTSD (from other SA and my living situation when I was younger) when I was 12. I’ve been receiving medication ever since. However, I’ve always avoided therapy because I never found the right fit.

I know many of you will not agree with this and will probably want to grab me through the screen, but I do believe him. I saw genuine remorse in his face and words. He has also displayed symptoms of parasomnia, so I do believe it’s possible he could have sexsomnia.

As of right now, we’re still together. I can’t say for sure if this will be the case in the future, because in the end, I’ll need to do what’s best for me.

I'm not even sure what my sexuality is, and that's fine

I'm a 57-year-old woman who has been happily married for going on 35 years. Neither of us is really interested in having sex with anyone, though we do like to look at attractive people.

For a long time, I thought that this was something that we should be working on fixing. But then I started hearing about asexuality, and things kinda clicked in my head.

I'm sure I'm somewhere on the a-spectra, but not precisely where. It's good to learn that my husband and I don't need fixing in this regard.
