Older aro/ace male
I'm a male, 61, and am just coming to grips with my aro/ace identity. Are there other older males who can share their experience? I sometimes feel being aro/ace is a life sentence for loneliness, as I have been painfully lonely for most of my life. Granted, aro/ace is not the only contributing factor, and I've been working with a therapist to process the emotions involved and develop more self-compassion. But I think I would benefit from hearing how others like me have navigated these waters, and how they have crafted more positive outcomes. Thanks in advance, and peace to all

Protective nature in asexuals??
Listen I don't know if this goes here. But I'm asexual or in my case; nonsexual and I don't know where else to go to find help with what I'm wanting here.
Now, I'm not one for porn. But I love to bits as I would love a relationship one day without the sex part... I love to bits the protectiveness, safeness and softness you can get from a masc butch. Right. Ok.
...and since that falls under assxuality or in my case; nonsexual...
Does anyone know where I can find examples of those three in video form that isn't sex?
Edit: I'm so sorry if this seems odd. Figured this subreddit might know.

asexual or just hate myself?
im making this short and sweet because i cant be bothered to explain it all.
i have body dysmorphia and overall just HATE the way i look.
my sexuality is very fluid so sometimes ill find women sexually attractive and sometimes men but i dont know if i actually want to have sex with them, just that they are attractive.
i cant tell if im asexual or i just dont like myself enough to have sex.
the whole idea of having sex to me seems kind of weird but im curious (yet somehow a little disgusted)
can anyone tell me if this is me being asexual or just hating myself?
