Aces Dating Non-Aces
For the aces here that are currently dating non-aces, how do you go about that, especially in regards to sex? Especially if you also happen to be sex neutral or sex repulsed?
In my last relationship (2.5 years long, i discovered/accepted my asexuality in the last year of it), my boyfriend frequently got really upset that I didn't want sex as much as him or that I didn't recognized potentially spicy opportunities for sex. And he got sad when he felt like I wasn't attracted to him and started getting really self-conscious about his appearance. He started trying to make himself more attractive and making sex better, but it obviously didn't really have any affect on me except to make me feel absolutely awful about hurting his feelings and possibly giving him new insecurities. The relationship ended over a year ago and I haven't really dated since.
It seems so daunting and impossible to find someone that won't mind about the lack of sex or won't be hurt about the lack of sexual attraction. So how do aces go about dating and finding a relationship with someone who isn't ace?

This person says this stuff a lot and it makes me uncomfortable. She’s saying she doesn’t care if I’m asexual she’ll fuck me anyway. I know it’s a joke but I’m uncomfortable and I don’t know what to do

Am I actually asexual or am I lying to myself?
From a young age I have always felt kind of weird and disturbed about sex or any intimate actions, hugging, etc, leading me to never romantically holding hands, kissing, having a s.o. or anything. Now with that being said I don’t know if i’m genuinely asexual or not. Don’t get me wrong, I’m repulsed by sex, but sometimes I start thinking and I cant help but to wonder if I’m really asexual or if I have just been traumatized. tw???? My only sexual experiences have been harassment/assaults, so I don’t know if I really am asexual or if I have just been traumatized and subconsciously written off sex for the rest of my life under the disguise that Im asexual. Am I the only one that thinks this? and how would I go about figuring out if i truly am asexual? Sorry if i’m rambling and if this is all over the place
edit: thank you to every who replied i love u guys, after reading the replies i feel a lot more valid and confident in my sexuality :)
