My bf probably falls under the Asexual umbrella and I'm allo. Advice for how to communicate about emotional+physical needs as well as attraction would be lovely.
My bf is a lovely person and I'm trying to piece together their sexuality and their needs for both of our benefit. He is in his early/mid 20s and I am his first SO and he hasn't thought much on the topic. I'm someone with a high libido but I can mostly handle myself with that as long as I get emotional attention in other ways. That said I can't say I'm afraid that I'm not romantically or physically attractive to my SO at some points which is probably just me being nervous for no reason. What would be some things that yall would say on this? What would be some reasonable expectations for me to have in this sort of relationship physically and emotionally? As an allo person I definitely don't experience things the same.

Sick of being called “innocent”
It just really bothers me when people call me “innocent” or “pure” just cuz I’m pretty sex averse most of the time. Like, I still know how it works and everything I just don’t like discussing it cuz it makes me feel uncomfortable most of the time. It’s not like I’m some cluesless kid who needs to be protected I’m just not interested. People seem to thinks it cute or something and it really rubs me the wrong way.

Am I ace if i “enjoy” sex but feel no sexual attraction towards anyone?
The title is pretty self explanatory but I thought I’d elaborate a bit more to really get my point across
I’ve been questioning if I’m ace for about a year now. That started about 7-8 months after I lost my virginity. I had what could be considered pretty good sex but I don’t know if I really enjoyed it (it was always consensual!!!).
Now the way I would describe my feelings towards it would be saying I did not not enjoy it because I did experience the sexual/bodily pleasure but I’ve never felt attracted to anyone sexually.
I also recently realised that I just thought I had to want sex because everyone else did but if I think about it I never sincerely thought something like “Damn, I’m really in the mood to screw” or something like that.
So this is my situation and thought process. Can I still identify as asexual? I really want to but I’m scared to invalidate (other) aces.

I came out to my parents and it didn't go so good.
So I've known that I am asexual since I was 13, I'm now 19 but I've never told anyone except for a close friend.
I've been wanting to tell my parents for a while and so I planned it and I told them this morning. It went awful, my dad said something about how "Asexuality, sounds made up to me." and my mom agreed and added "are you sure you're just not queer? we thought you were."
When I said no, this is what I am they said "Well that sounds nice, but I'm sure you'll grow out of it when you meet the right person." I said I won't and they said "whatever" and gave an eyeroll.
​
Bruh that was like a punch to the gut.

Something that i want to say.
I've made some posts here and i want to say something,
I think Asexuals, to my experience, are generally very open minded and welcoming which has been a great thing so far.
I've had some bad encounters that i think many of them comes down to misunderstandings, but except those few examples, Asexuals are generally very tolerant people and it's a pleasure to be in this sub and see you guys and gals.
Keep up with the tolerance which is very valuable nowadays.
Again thank you all the open minded and tolerant users of this sub.

Sex favorable aces are real and valid.
This sub is starting to feel sex negative, not in a "it's just not for me" thing but in a "sex is DIRTY and EVIL!" way. I'm not into sex, I don't like it, but even I'm starting to get that feeling from here, I'm seeing more posts from people asking if they're "still ace" if they like fetishes or porn and all that, and I'm worried that maybe the sex favorable/positive aces are going to start feeling less valid or even excluded in their own community when we already face discrimination from straight people and a few corners of the LGBT community at large.
I think it's easy to forget that not all aces are sex repulsed, and that it might be a good time to check up on the favorable ace friends and how they're doing.
