I am still disappointed...

When I was in college, this guy and I kept talking about watching iron man together. I loved those movies. We never watched iron man though, and I only realized years later that he only just wanted to have sex. :( He never even liked iron man at all! And first I hated myself for having been so naive... but fuck that guy, he is the loser missing out on iron man.

I don’t want to be this way

I always thought I’d “grow out of” my lack of interest in romantic relationships. In my teens I just acted like I was too cool for all the lovey dovey awkward high school dating. But as I’ve gotten older more and more I just wish to be…normal. In college I remember multiple times begging my own body to just please flip that switch that says “I would like to be physically intimate with my partner now”. Instead I went through cycle after cycle of starting to date a person, trying to make my mind and body just be normal, failing and they eventually breaking it off with me because to them I just looked like I had commitment issues. Or I was a prude. Or just a massive weirdo.

The older I get the weirder it is to society that I don’t have a partner. And frankly without a partner you miss out on alot. Just recently I was excluded from a friend event because the host said “sorry—couples only”. And don’t get me started on how many times I heard (about other people); “oh we were really worried about him but then he got a girlfriend” or “he’s so grown up now he’s even got a girlfriend!”. I am literally treated as less of an adult because I can’t hold down a partner.

And I know the rebuttal will be “just date someone who’s ace”. …do you all know how difficult that is? And I’m not a looker so I have trouble catching anyone’s attention. But trying to find that small sliver of a sliver of a percent of people in my area who are: single, ace, looking for a partner, find me interesting, and we get along in all other relationship facets? Impossible. I just want to force myself to be normal.

Wrong answers only - why are you ace?

Me first. Cause my parents said I could never have sex. Obviously I obeyed them mindlessly and made sure to never feel any attraction to anyone. 🫡 YES FATHER!

Asexuals in long term sexual relationships, what are your stances on sex?

What's the closest platonic connection you've ever had? How did it reframe your perspective on the traditional concept of platonic relationships? (non-sexual friendships)

How do I talk to my partner?

I (19ftm) am hypersexual, my partner (19gf) is sex-positive asexual. Everything about our relationship is perfect, but I am really unsatisfied with our intimate life. How do I talk to her about this?
We're intimate 1-2 days a week, but we always have to "schedule" our time together a week in advance, and it makes me feel like I'm just a chore she has to do. I don't know how to tell her I'm unhappy without making her feel guilty. We've been together for almost 4 years, and if I just tell her all of a sudden I'm not happy, what happens after? I really do not want to break up with her. She's the love of my life. I don't want to split apart because of this. What do I do? What can I even do? Is there any way where we're both happy in the end? Should I look into ways to lower my libido somehow? I'm at a loss. I love her so much and I really do not want to make her upset by talking to her about this. Should I not say anything to her and instead try to solve my problems myself? Please help me.

24 F looking for people who understand what I'm going through

For the longest time I've known that I am Panromantic but asexual and I've been looking for other people who resonate with that feeling being romantic but not sexual because I feel like it's an interesting position to be in just looking for people to talk to who understand me! I am more active on discord so ask me for my discord if you wanna have a conversation!

Best friend lost virginity; making me feel weird

So we are seniors in high school. My best friend just told me about how he had sex with his girlfriend(who I am also really good friends with). It just feels really weird because I love them both so much, but for some reason my opinion of them has shifted. Not necessarily negative, but just different. It makes me feel like I’m not as “grown up” as they are, like they feel like they’re better than me, which I know they don’t really feel. I love them both and I’m so glad to have them. Whenever I find out about someone losing their virginity, this happens, but this won’t leave my mind for some reason. Even though it doesn’t affect me at all, it makes me feel a little weird. They started dating a few months ago, although I’ve been friends with them each for over 4 years each. They were never friends until recently, and then they started dating. I was so happy two really good friends of mine were dating, but this adds a weird aspect to it, even though it shouldn’t. 17 is what I assume to be a normal age to lose your virginity. I’m not necessarily opposed to sex, but I don’t feel any need to have it. I do have a romantic relationship with my girlfriend, but I haven’t wanted to do anything sexual. This has kinda warped my perception of what I want. I don’t want to, but it would make me feel on par with my friends. It’s just isolating I think. I don’t really know how to feel better about this.

Why are others so mean

I just posted on another subreddit with a different account regarding a relationship question since I have a lovely girlfriend but she’s not ace herself.

I just wanted to understand her side more since I don’t know much and so far the only comment is saying I should just split with her. Not even an explanation of her possible side or referring to Information I gave in the post about how she’s been lovely and accepting. Just an immediate “break up with her” :c
