"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.

When I was younger I hated the phrase "more than just friends"
I thought it was so stupid, that person is more important just because you're kissing and stuff? I realise now that it was just an early sign of my asexuality

Looking for resources.
Hello. I am a bisexual male married to an asexual femal for 5 years (tommorow). We do have sex but it needs to be planned a head of time. She does not desire it but is not repulsed by it either. I have tried asking my wife about things pertaining to her preferances but she comes up blank.
Being curious about this and trying to understand this, it is difficult trying to find information out there. Anyone know of any places I could go to learn more about it. I prefer books (mostly non-fiction) and movies (documentarys?) for learning but any help is apreciated. It seems like the media (books/tv/movies) almost think that asexuals don't exist.
