High School was a different time for those like us
Me, in high school: How the hell do people *"accidentally"* have children? Just don't have sex, JFC how hard is that?
Me, after figuring out I'm Ace and realizing not everyone sees sex like I do: oooohhhhh......

Thank you all.
So, this is kinda a hard thing for me to admit because it makes me seem like the shittiest person ever. But... I used to be a raging aphobe.
Part of the thing that helped me change was this forum, because it caused me to read more about asexuality, and not only did I realize that the way I was thinking was wrong and just plain incorrect, I realized that the biggest reason I was so rude and bigoted toward ace people is because I was in denial of being on the ace and aro spectrums.
I get it if I still seem like a bad person, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here because you've all helped me change, and not only that, break down the walls and get out of denial about who I am.

"You're not really LGBT. You guys have never been oppressed. You're the straight white men of the LGBTQIA."
A quote from my (extremely heterosexual) sister. I love her, but I really wanted to smack her when she said this. I laughed it off, but it was kinda hurtful, especially with that one girl being murdered recently.
She also says I'm not allowed to say I'm LGBT, because it doesn't have an "A" in it.
​
Edit: Sorry, that last line wasn't clear. According to her I'm not allowed to say, "I'm a member of the LGBT." I have to say the full "LGBTQIA" or I'm appropriating homosexual, bisexual, and trans culture or something.

These idiots are straight out of 70s or 80s
Some dumb ass: Women don't have sexual desire, and men can't say no to sex.
Me: *i'm the living proof of opposite of what you said* Ever heard of asexuality?

Romantic comedies helped me realize I’m probably ace
One of the things that led me to realizing I’m most likely ace is the way some sex scenes begin in romantic comedies. The way two people stare at each other and then kind of lunge at each other like they NEED to fuck right there and then no matter what. And I mentioned to a friend, “yeah as if sex ever actually happens like this, Hollywood, blah blah blah.” And my friend is surprised, ”you’ve never just seen someone and needed them like that?”
Oh shit, that’s what sexual attraction must be like.

Dating straight people is scary
I'm a hetero ace, and my girlfriend is generally pretty great, but the drawback are clear, no matter how much a try to slip them under the rug. Compliments and non sexual shows of affection go a long way, but that last ten yards seems to be unavoidable when it comes to dating heterosexuals. But I feel like I'm stuck in a chain, unable to escape. I've been dating her for a year now, and dont feel comfortable just dropping everything, but I can see the longing for more than what I give. She just wants me to be demi, but I'm not. Sorry for the ramble, imma just leave this here and try to forget it

Asexual but want children?
I'm asexual. And I'm perfectly okay with not being in a relationship. Not sure if that makes me aro, but that's not my point. I see a lot on this sub and other ace subs that children aren't a goal of aces. But I do want children. I'd adopt, and raise them alone. The comments about not wanting children make me worried about whether I'd be considered a part of this, even if I do want children.
