Friends say my asexuality makes them feel safe/comfortable around me
Hello! My friend got a new job and its already taking a toll on her body. We were eating dinner when her face lit up out of no where. "Could you give me a massage?" This was kinda crazy coming from her since she hates physical touch. She mustve noticed my face since she tried to explain. She continues with how she trusts me to give her a massage since I am "...void of a sexual agenda." (???) This suprisingly is not the first time I heard something like this, a lot of people around me just get a "pure" vibe from me. Especially the women in my life who tell me they constantly have to be on guard or hyper aware of interactions just incase. Im happy I can be that for my friends. I have never came out to anyone around me but I guess they all just assume because of my character. If I can make a friend who was a victim of sexual assault comfortable by just being me, thats worth the world. I really enjoy being a beacon for my friends. Always have and always will. I want to know if you guys have had a similar experience.

What’s your dream slogan for an asexual themed T-shirt?
Mine: Sex scenes are my cue to go grab a snack.

Needed to get this off my chest.
I'll probably get downvoted but I honestly don't care. I'm so fucking tired of sex-repulsed aces being treated as non-existent, especially those who are romantic. And sometimes even by asexuals themselves. Someone literally told me that 'being sex-repulsed means you're not really ace, because we as aces do not have a view towards sex, we just don't feel sexual attraction'. Seriously?? Where tf is the nuance?? There are many type of aces and just because sex disgusts you it doesn't mean you're not valid.
And another thing that keeps irritating me is how some people keep affiliating every aspect of asexuality with sex. Like, asexuals can like sex, they can write the best smut, can be very sexual etc, YES, YOU CAN BE, I'M NOT SAYING YOU CAN'T, but it's almost becoming an archetype that highlights only one ace spectrum. And honestly, most of times, that sounds performative, like trying to make asexuality sound 'cool' to allo people. As if proving that being asexual and liking sex means that you're still cool because you aren't against sex yet. And what if you don't like sex, don't like to read/write smut? You're suddenly weird, sexually repressed, traumatized, prudish and you get dumped into the filthiest stereotypes. Well, asexuality isn't a checkbox or an aesthetic. It's an identity. It doesn't need sex to be cool. And it sure as hell doesn't need anyone's approval.

Relationship advice with a hyper-sexual partner
I am 25 years old and have just started my first relationship. I love my partner (24) and told them that I am asexual before we started dating but that I am willing to experiment sexually to determine where at on the spectrum I am. I only tried masturbating after 20 because everyone around me made me feel weird for not doing so. I tried a total of 5 times and never felt anything from it. My partner is hyper-sexual and we recently tried doing some sexual stuff that involved me seeing their genitals. All I could think was yep that’s a vagina. It’s safe to say that ended the activity. I guess the question is whether a relationship between a hyper-sexual person and asexual person is good for either of us? I don’t want to hurt them or make them feel rejected but I love them and enjoy the other aspects of our relationship. I did enjoy most all of the stuff we did with clothes on but kinda just froze up once clothes were taken off completely.

What’s it like for others who are Hopeless Romantics and also Ace?
For me personally it’s a really weird conflict where there’s this desperate craving for affection and a romantic relationship. Like super wholesome, cheesy, corny stuff. But at the same time sex is super gross(I’m sex-repulsed) and I don’t want that ever.
