What's your favorite thing to do in bed (besides sleep)?

I used to watch a lot of anime and play video games in bed. In college I'd even do homework in bed when I was having a rough day. Now all I do in bed is read books or look at my phone. I rarely ever go in my bedroom outside of bedtime.

I know they recommend not using your bed for anything other than sleep and adult activities, but I kind of miss doing other stuff. What are your favorite "other" activities?

Será que ahora soy asexual?

Hola, me he estado preguntando porque no tengo ganas de tener pareja por primera vez en mi vida, hay días que me gustaría pero no me motiva lo suficiente. Tuve un matrimonio cruel y un hijito de 9 años al que amo. Mi última pareja fue hace un año y medio y lo amaba como nunca había amado antes, él fue inmaduro a pesar de ser de mi misma edad (37 años y también con una hija de la misma edad que mi hijo) y no pude seguir a su lado pues yo necesitaba apoyo más que desgaste emocional de un hombre inmaduro (con problemas de alcoholismo), quedé muy mal física y emocionalmente, llegué a pesar 42 kg (10kg menos que mi peso normal) sin ánimos de nada no podía ni lavarme los dientes ni bañarme. Hoy estoy más fuerte que nunca, me siento muy bien conmigo misma por mi decisión y por mi evolución, he madurado mucho y amo y doy gracias por cada día que vivo y por mi familia. Pero no me siento con ganas de volver a querer tener un hombre en mi vida pues todos han sido desleales, egoístas y crueles en mayor o menor medida. A veces me planteo bajar una app de citas para ver si vuelvo a sentir ganas al menos de tener sexo. Busco compartir y leer sus experiencias y consejos. Gracias!

Is it weird I saw Moulin Rouge Live with my sister?

Im 9 years older than her but we are both adults. I had a blast! Great music and dancing, cute outfits. Ive known about Moulin Rouge, but this was first time for both of us seeing it. After she stayed she wasn't sure if it was weird to see it together. There was alot of lingerie and butts. I didnt think so, and I told her most of the actors were wearing body suits under so theres no skin showing.

It's frustrating to be ace and have libido

Honestly, I can't convince myself that i'm asexual, but i'm completely sure that i'm not straight, bi, or something else.

I'm turning 26 in some days, and I felt sexually attracted for only 2 people (C and T) in my entire life, but I feel the urge to have sex in most days, it's like "yeah, i want to have sex, but not with anyone". Actually, if it were something simple and easy, like "let's have sex and never see each other again in our lives," I think I would do it just to "kill" that libido, but even casual sex isn't that simple, so I feel like it's not worth it. If it's to meet someone, talk, go on dates, then it should be for something worthwhile (like a friendship or a relationship), not just for sex.

About the girls that I felt sexually attracted: C is hard to explain, but I'm 100% sure i'll never have anything with her; About a year ago I almost get into a relationship with T but she suddently started to treat me not well, so today we barelly know each other. Besides them, sometimes I feel kind of a "weak attraction" for other girls, but i think it's not even sexual attraction, it may just be another kind of attraction that i can't name, once it's weak and i don't think it's worthy approaching someone just for sex, I ocasionally "forget" that attraction

Aroace and autistic I feel so grossed out by how hypersexual and hyper romantic tiktok is


I’m aroace and also super autistic lols, and honestly? TikTok is starting to feel like one big sensory/emotional overload. I’ll be scrolling through looking for something chill cooking videos, cats, whatever and suddenly I’m hit with a video like “I want my bf/gf to do insert extremely graphic sexual act 🥵💦” or some super intense thirst trap with captions that basically read like softcore fanfic.

And the comments are full of people saying “omg this is so real” or “relationship goals,” and I just… want to melt into the floor. I don’t comment, I don’t interact, I just quietly scroll and feel completely grossed out. Because the internet makes it feel like everyone wants romance and sex, and if you don’t, you’re either repressed or broken. But I’m not. I’m just aroace and autistic, and my brain is like “absolutely not” every time this kind of content pops up.

I think what gets to me is how normalized it is. Not just talking about sex, but performing your sexual desires for strangers as if it’s the most relatable thing ever. And for people like me? It’s not. It’s alienating. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s not “immature” to feel that way, it’s a valid reaction from someone whose brain and body just… don’t connect to that stuff.

So I’m wondering:
• Anyone else here feel this way?
• Are you also aroace, autistic, neurodivergent, or just over it?
• How do you deal with constantly being exposed to sexual/romantic content you don’t relate to and don’t want?

I’ve mostly just been quietly powering through, but honestly? I’m tired of feeling gross in silence. I want to know if others are feeling this too.

Does anyone else experience this kind of asexuality?

I never want to have sex, and haven’t even felt like it with people I am romantically involved with for upwards of a year. I’m not repulsed by it but I also don’t feel like doing it as it feels pointless to me. I just don’t have that urge.

But I have feelings sometimes that could be described as lust, arousal, etc. They just don’t lead me to the conclusion of wanting to have sex. I certainly don’t relate to just seeing people as just aesthetically attractive, but I also don’t want to have sex with anybody.

Can anyone relate?

"Fetish" vs interest

I'm genuinely so confused as to what makes something a fetish versus just liking something. I see a lot of people (especially neurodivergent) get their special interests misinterpreted as fetishes, and a lot of "fetishes" just don't really seem like something that's an inherently sexual thing? People tried to convince me that some of my special interests were fetishes when I was 14 and it feels like I'm just getting groomed or gaslit even 14 years later. If other people like them for sexual reasons, fine, but don't project that onto me?? There are reasons to enjoy things besides sex, and I don't think enjoying something because it makes you happy makes it a fetish just because it's someone else's fetish? Am I crazy?

Got into with my LESBIAN mother over me being asexual

So I’m not ashamed being asexual, and somebody asked me if I was gay or straight. I told them I was asexual, I’m 32 and I’ve known since I was 26. Even if the signs were there.

My mom lost it on me, and told me I can’t go around telling people that. That it’s nobody business but mine about being asexual.

I need to kept it quiet because it makes her uncomfortable. She wants me to tell people I’m straight, and I’m just waiting for the right guy to come along.

How she doesn’t think I’m asexual, and I just need to lighten up and let people in. I’m so sick of this.

A waste..?!

Chatting with someone recently who told me that my not desiring sexual relationships - as a somewhat conventionally attractive woman - was "a waste". Obviously first response was to look pretty disgusted and say "um, waste of what?"
Just had to vent a little as it's been playing on my mind a bit. Is it me or does this feel more than a little misogynistic..?
