How is it possible for amab aces to have sex?

I’m an asexual cis man, and I’m not entirely sure how sex works.

I’ve never had sex before, primarily because of the whole lack of sexual attraction thing; however, I’m not sex-repulsed/averse, and I don’t think I’d mind doing it. I’m pretty sure I’m sex-neutral, maybe even leaning a tiny bit towards favorable, but I’m not sure since I haven’t tried.

However, I’m not sure how performing the act is even possible for people with amab anatomy. To do it, I would have to rise to the occasion, and I’m not sure how that’s possible when I don’t find arousal in anything particularly related to sex.

Not sure if anyone here has any tips/advice for this.

Why are people so dismissive??

Hi (16F) aroace,

I have had lots of horrible experiences with aphobia when coming out to people. I had to lie to my mum the other day about why I wanted to go to the shopping centre and why I wanted to go alone. I said I wanted to go and look at the pandora charms, but really I wanted to go to buy 'Loveless' by Alice Oseman. I felt almost ashamed buying the book and that everyone was judging me.

Before I even got into the shopping centre some creep came up to me and asked me my age. I just ignored him and walk off as I walked off he shouted "You're not that pretty anyway" which hurt me. I felt very anxious in the shopping centre after that.

The reason I lied to my mum is that she doesn't believe being aroace is a real thing. She is aphobic and she has really hurt me before, so I am scared about what she is going to say to me. I am hiding the book for her. When I came out to her, I thought she would be supportive and accept me but she didn't. I feel like none accepts or supports me. I wish I never told her.

I wish amatonormative people weren't so dismissive and at least tried to understand being aroace.

I just came out to my parents

It went surprisingly well, they told me they still love me and all that. I’m pretty sure they don’t know exactly what an asexual is, but they refused when I offered to explain exactly what it is.

Update: they knew what it was thankfully

I like an asexual girl (but I'm not)

Hello! I'm a 23yo lesbian and I have such a big crush on a girl of my age. We have such a cool connection and I want to make a move but some months ago she told me she's asexual and I don't know what to do. I want to kiss her, to sleep with her and to give her caress and massages, just feeling each other but maybe that's not what she wants.

That's the first thing that's stopping me to ask her out (second thing is I'm scared she doesn't like me back and I mess our frienship). I totally respect her so I don't want to make her unconfortable asking her what does she like to do with a partner before asking her out. But, in case she said yes, it would be a bit difficult for me try not to think about kissing her nor sleeping with her (I would never do anything without consent, for sure, I mean as in it would be frustrating wanting to do it but not doing it).

So I wanted to ask you if you think it's better just not to ask her out and let my crush go away, to ask her what she wants in a partner and if we fit then ask her out or I ask her out and in case she wants to date me too, I ask her about her boundaries.

Horny marvel? But why tho

Lately in movie podcasts I've noticed a trend in people complaining about marvel movies being "sexless". Considering I am watching the movies to see my faves do the fun action in cool suits, I've never had a problem with this. Like I genuinely don't understand the need to see them make out or have sex or whatever when the few times they attempted it contributed nothing and distracted from the overall plot (looking at you Steve Sharon kiss).

And honestly, it's not like they're ever going to give me queer kisses so I'm game for them to keep me write the fic myself.

Point is, why do people want sex in superhero movies?

Eternals had a bit of a sex scene and all the uncomfy feels came back for me. Even if marvel put more intimate scenes, it's not like you would see much anyway as they are 4 quadrant PG-13 movies. So what are people expecting??

I don't understand...

Is it a bad idea to wear my ace ring at my Lutheran homophobic high school?

I’ve been wearing it for about a week and the only person who noticed is my ace friend and I sorta pointed it out to them. Other people know I’m ace, and no homophobes or faculty have bugged me about it and it’s not a widely known thing among non lgbtq people. I think I’m good I just wanted a second opinion because I’m not out to my parents or I would ask them

Recruiting someone who can code in JavaScript or React (or whatever) to help me code a dating app for Asexuals

Basically what the title says. I’m sitting on this idea, and it’s all written out, planned, and ready to go. Problem is, I can’t code. It’ll take too long to learn (I’m impatient and there’s a huge demand and by the time I learn, there may not be) and well, I get massive headaches and super frustrated when trying to code. We could be business partners. Split the profit, if any, evenly and I will help as much as I can with the coding as I can, even if it’s bringing you food and coffee/tea, water, etc. (if we can meet in person, if not, then order you something on DoorDash) and I will definitely and enthusiastically work on design, PR, and advertising, and anything else that goes into this project. I thought I’d just put myself out there because I don’t want this ADHD brainchild to go to waste, it’s too precious! (Jk, but kinda serious). I promise I am super dedicated to this and I won’t bail or leave you with all the work! I also promise that I will be open to any suggestions and ideas for improvement or just design change and all that, the original idea is just a rough draft, after all. (I’m 29F, I live outside of Philly, btw) Any takers?
