Ace Community Here Me Out

Ace people of the world!
I come before you not as one of your own, but as a friend and ally and a humble messenger of goodwill. For I have seen that you do not have an animal mascot, the lesbians have the penguin and cats, the trans folks have the shark and the gay men have the grizzly bear and unicorn. Yet I have looked upon your ranks, and found no creature crowned as your emblem.

So today, I bring forth a candidate most fitting:
the GREAT PANDA!

Let the world know: the panda does not seek the frenzied courtship of the wild but is concerned with happy times and snacks!

Intrusive thoughts question

I've recently had intrusive thoughts of someone else rubbing one off at the thought of me. Is this normal? For an intrusive thought

So...I'm new. Why garlic bread?

Don't get me wrong, I love the heck out of some garlic bread. Just curious how it's associated with the ace community?

Firefox's new mascot is ace

I can't help but notice that the colors firefox has decided to have as shirt colors for the release of their new mascot, Kit, are eerily familiar

I hate how sex is seen as the most important thing in the world

No shame to people that have/enjoy sex at all, it's their life and they deserve to live it the way they want to as long as it's safe and consensual.

But I hate how sex is seen as the most important thing ever. Like, men are supposed to want it and crave it all the time, women are there to fulfill those needs. It hurts both sides!

People literally break up relationships over sex, which, you know, it is important for people in terms of intimacy, but I still find it baffling. It's hard to remember that that is okay to do that, but honestly people should really find someone with an equal libido so that isn't a problem. And then they should communicate if they feel like something is wrong. (I do get that it's also because one partner is being abusive and not making it good for the other -- THAT I completely understand and encourage wanting to leave over because someone can seem great at first and then show their true colors later, and that is awful)

I also feel like it's just constantly in the media. Women are both shamed and encouraged due to having lots of sex, men are shamed for not having enough. Again, it hurts everyone. There isn't any real education either, it's just SEX SEX SEX!

It sucks that it's so ingrained in our society that not wanting sex is seen as the most horrible thing ever and there is something wrong with you. It's stupid.

Also, I read somewhere that in relationships, most of everything couples do together is literally just gearing up for sex by the end of the day. So all the cooking together, dancing together, going on dates, the end result is solely just to have sex apparently. That irks me. This obviously isn't true for many couples, but still.

I've recently realised I'm not ace. But thank you anyway.

Thanks to everyone for recognising me as valid, even though I now don't think I'm ace anymore. You all are valid, and this community is one of the best I've had the pleasure to be a part of. I'll still stand by y'all as an ally of course 🫡

Are you asexual if you find fictional characters sexually attractive

Hope this isn’t too weird to ask. I might be somewhere on the asexual spectrum (I think?? Idk actually) like I can be sexually attracted only once I’ve really gotten close to them. I’ve only been sexually attracted to like 3 ppl, but I won’t be unless I get close. But I don’t feel the want to be close if im not attracted, so theyre gonna need to be the nicest man to exist and pursue me. I won’t look at a good looking man on the street and think damn I wanna fuck them. But a fictional character? Immediately yes. I’m not aromantic but it doesn’t happen often either. Once every 2 years I’d feel something.

What do you think?

I’m sure you guys see so many of these posts…

I’ve been trying to understand myself because I’ve been this way since I was a little girl. Hopping around relationships most of my life, feeling disinterested in my partners (of all genders) sexually, never initiating first, only finding fictional men sexually appealing in a weird way because they aren’t real, and feeling so confused. I’ve always approached the topic of sex as if its an intellectual thing and not something that just.. Happens. I’ve always seen it as a means to an end and a requirement to have an intimate relationship.

I don’t feel anything when I’ve look at my partners naked. Maybe embarrassed because its odd and unusual for me to look at but other than that.. Nothing. I’ve always felt like I’m broken as a woman.

I feel disgusted and weird whenever people talk to me in a sexually charged way. I don’t have any trauma… Which I assumed maybe that would be a reason why I’m so indifferent but nothing comes to mind.

I feel so lost in a world constantly surrounded by sex appeal and subjects I can’t relate to…

What's up with people's obsession of boobs?

I don't get it. They get sexualized everywhere you look. I like mine, they are pretty and soft but I don't like them in a sexual way. But every time someone has a bit of a big chest, people, especially guys are like:"Oah! Nice boobs!!" Wtf?? It's just a normal part of the body and a lot of women have to be afraid to go outside because people will stare at their body, even though it's not their fault that they have bigger boobs. It's simply how some bodies are build. Get over it! I wonder if those people would like when everyone always stares at their private areas too.

Why do people have to be afraid of going outside simply because of how biology made their body!? Especially for introverts like me, who hates being the center of attention. So that's why I also don't understand why some people want big boobs. They are uncomfortable, heavy and attract a lot of dirty looks.
