"what's the difference between a relationship and friendship then"
these are the words my ex (M) said to me (F) when i came out as asexual to him. sometimes i think about this particular sentence and laugh my ass off and also mad at myself for not standing up to that piece of shit.
i can understand him wanting sex in a relationship but there's no need to insult me and the entire asexual community LMFAO. as if it's my fault that in his eyes, having sex is what makes a relationship different than a friendship.
when he said those words i was like "are asexuals in relationships aren't a thing then?" 😭

"How will you ever have kids?!" is such a stupid question when people find out I'm ace. Better than the other braindead questions in the ace convo tho lmao.

Asexuality and being neurodivergent
Hi there,
I’m curiously wondering how many of y’all are neurodivergent. As someone who’s Ace and has level 1 autism I’ve felt the two go hand in hand.
Obviously you don’t need to be neurodivergent to be asexual, but at least for me I feel it’s closely linked with my sensory preferences.
Anyone else?

Intimacy is not a Synonym for Sex
It just ticks me right off that many allos are only able to understand intimacy thru the lens of sex. Many do not seem to see other forms of intimacy as valid. It sucks that I will be accused of not loving ppl bc I couldn’t offer them sexual desire. It sucks that my desire is erased bc it doesn’t look like theirs. It sucks that no matter how much love I can offer, they will just knock the cup out of my hand bc I can’t offer anything carnal. I filled that cup with emotional vulnerability, acts of service, compliments, cuddles, support, etc…. But they don’t wanna drink it. All they wanna drink is sexual intimacy (maybe this metaphor isn’t working).
