Do you feel aesthetic attraction?

This is basically just a follow up to a post I made yesterday, because apparently a lot more people feel the way I do than I expected.

Edit: I only mean in people. I think most people can find things that aren't people aesthetically pleasing, so I'm just wondering about people.

you guys ever get guilty during high libido times?

i know it’s a biological thing but i still feel like i’m a fraud, and it’s so frustrating because i just think why?? why now?? and I can’t even think of much to relieve it :(

I just want to know i’m not alone in this :/

Ending a long term relationship due to sexual incompatibility

We're both in our mid twenties and we were together for 4 and half years. And the decision was mutual, to my understanding.

Me being ace was always an issue since the beginning of our relationship, and we really tried to make it work but as he put it finally, "literally everything about our relationship is perfect, except for this". My worst fear and repeat of my last relationship.

Walking away from him was one of the hardest things I've done and I'm just so gutted. Despite having a lot of love for each other, the breakup was a mutual decision. I feel so awful, and so sad. I hate the way that I am, I hate that I couldn't satisfy him sexually. He doesn't deserve to be in a relationship where he has to constantly question if I desire him sexually or always has to initiate sex, and I'm trying to feel ok about telling myself that I deserve a relationship where I don't have to feel pressure to be a sexual being when it's just not in me to a be past a very small extent.

One thing he said in the end as we were crying in front of each other: "maybe I'm just not the right piece for your puzzle and you the same to me, but damn you are really close" literally sent me over the edge, I couldn't help but sob.

He said he wanted to still be friends but I just genuinely don't think I can just be friends with him, it would hurt too much.

I'm just so sad, I try to be ok and accepting to myself about being ace but right now I just hate it so much. I'm gonna call a therapist today for the first time.

Idk if any of this is coherent, and I'll probably delete later, but if you can relate or have anything to say that might help, please i could use anything.

Acephobic “uncle”

When I was just going into high school my “uncle” (close family friend but not blood related, he lived with us at the time) kept joking with me about dating boys and having crushes etc. He joked with me about a lot of different things pretty often so for me his jokes just got annoying so I told him “I probably won’t have a boyfriend because I don’t really want one and I’m asexual”.

(I was BARELY learning about different terms etc but I knew asexuals didn’t like sex and that’s how I felt at the time but I used the term lightly since I was young)

My “uncle” then responded with “HAHA “asexual” you’re too young trust me you’ll wanna be involved with someone” then followed that up with “asexuals like to reproduce with themselves you know that right?!” (An actual idiot) I laughed and said “yeah okay” and just went to my room.

I told my dad what happened when he got home and they had a fight bc my “uncle’s” first comment was extremely inappropriate and his second one my dad got mad at him for not letting me be who I want and making it a joke/telling me a lie.

So fast forward to the end of freshman year my uncle has continuously made fun of me for being asexual, he would make comments when having guy friends over, one time in front of a whole group of friends saying things like “watch out she’s sleepin alone tonight” .. I’m 14 dude ofc I’m sleeping alone wtf.

Freshman summer he got kicked out bc he would always make me uncomfortable and he started to disrespect my family and my dad got in fights with him often so he gave him the boot, thankfully lol


If you read all that thank you for reading about my experience! Sorry it was so long, my dad had mentioned him earlier in passing and it made me think about it so I thought maybe if I make a vent post I’ll move on for the night lol.

r/AskReddit is a cesspool.

jesus.

every (single) day, i come across at least one post on that god forsaken sub along the lines of, "Redditors who have had sex, what's the sexiest sex you've ever sexed? Details pls. [SERIOUS\]."

it's exhausting. and i know most people, ace or allo, aren't so consumed by cavorting around in their own sexual misadventures, but it feels like it's nonstop on this site. isn't that what r/AskRedditAfterDark is for?

i don't know.
