After years of contemplating how to explain, this is what I have. I present: how to counter "asexual relationships = friendship/roommate".

When I was younger I thought “sleeping with” meant real sleeping

why do my friends seem to think I'm ace?
basically whenever conversations turn to like people being attracted to others or like having crushes and things people always say "I'm pretty sure you're asexual.." but I don't understand. Like I jerk off to porn like anyone else, I can appreciate people who are objectively attractive without being attracted to them myself (for multiple reasons, such as they have a partner so I know feelings would be a waste of time and impractical or they're attractive and I'm aware of it cause like they have traits of a conventionally attractive person e.g. skinny, small nose, glasses that suit their face shape etc or things that personality-wise could make them attractive e.g. kind, caring, friendly, sarcastic, etc. without feeling an attraction to them myself) but I've had crushes in the past and I get aroused like other people but like...idk if 1. If I don't know a person how can I be attracted to them, I know nothing of their personality and 2. isn't it normal to not want to fuck everybody of the opposite gender? like genuinely it stresses me out because I wanna start dating properly but if people assume I'm asexual what if the people I date think that I'm not attracted to them because I don't show an immediate interest? Also how can I say I have or haven't felt sexually attracted to a person if there's no way to relate it to other feelings I've had until I've had it...idk it's just something that goes on and off of my brain from time to time and it's always stressful when I realize it even though ik they aren't looking down on me sometimes it feels like they are.

This homie said out loud what a lot of conservative men are thinking. This text can make you asexual.

Is this a common experience for other aces?
Marked with a content warning due to mentioning genitals.
I frequently wish I had no genitals and I often get jumpscared by the fact I have equipment. My ideal would be to be a barbie doll who's completely featureless down there, and part of the reason I like nier automata so much is because androids canonically don't come with 'equipment' (but can have them installed if they want). Is this something that is a common experience among people who are part of the ace community?

Was told that I’m not allowed to be aroused lol
I’m asexual and alloromantic. I saw a celebrity on TV and told my friend that I got aroused. She said “I thought aces can’t be aroused”
Genuinely not sure how to respond?? By “aroused” I meant I think he’s really really hot, and by “hot” I mean I am romantically attracted to him because he’s good looking. I am, obviously, not sexually attracted to him.
Is the word “aroused” specific to sexual attraction? If so, I didn’t know that 🤣 I just meant that this guy is pretty and I love him in a romantic but not sexual way

I feel like a lot of people thought that sexual and aesthetic attraction are the same thing before finding out that they are asexual

If you’re ace and save a life, dose your body count become negative or roll over to 999
