So...um... panicking a lot here, realised my family can never find out about me

So um... given I'm posting on here it should be obvious, I'm asexual (possibly biromantic but that's not really relevant to this post) and that's just who I am, I've known since I was at least eleven (18 now) however I've only labelled myself recently which included coming out to my friends (who already knew just not with labels) but I did not come out to anyone in my family.

And today I realised that I can never do that.

I was having a normal conversation with my father and somewhere down the line the topic of sexuality came up and it was made abundantly clear that anything that is not "normal" (for reference this man's normal includes those who are straight and gay but nothing else as its apparently indecisive) should not happen.

Now before this I had always thought my dad was the most open minded member of my family he has reasonably modern views on pretty much every topic you can think of, but apparently the idea of being ace and or bi is out of the question.

If the one person in my family I thought I could trust thinks like that how can I ever consider telling my family...

Anyone got any advice or consolation for me?

My allo FWB keeps trying to sext me and I have no idea what to say but it's working

I enjoy sex, and have a FWB. I'm just clueless when it comes to being sexy or anything like it.

He keeps trying to sext me and I have no idea what to say and I am finding this the funniest thing ever.

For some reason he has decided that I'm a dom and I'm just rolling with it. Sometimes I just reword what he says or just guess and Apparently it is working.

Last time this happened he said something like "Oh yeah? What will you do to me?"

Now I had no idea. I couldn't think of anything so just went "and spoil the surprise? No, you'll have to wait and find out."

He went mad at that response.

This conversation hasn't had anything interesting enough to type out, nor am I finding any of this even remotely sexy or sexual. I'm just sat here eating a cheese and watching Netflix and I can tell he's getting all worked up.

Bless him.

I learned that my asexuality might be due to a lifelong hormone disorder & I'm worried about changing.

I don't want to go into an entire medical history, but I discovered I likely have Cushing's syndrome. It's a hormone disorder where your body produces too much cortisol.

One of the common symptoms is a low or complete lack of sex drive.

For some reasons I'd rather spare the details of, I believe I've had it at least since puberty & it's likely endogenous. Due to the increased risk of heart problems, diabetes, & bone loss, as well as the toll it's already taking on my body, it's something that should be treated.

Fixing a hormone problem means I might have a sex drive & that thought is so incredibly bizarre to me. I've accepted myself as asexual for years. I feel like it's a part of my identity. Am I going to turn into a different person if I get treated? I'm just so used to being the way I am. I'm in my 30s. Asexuality is what I know & change scares me. I've seen the allos & they're so strange to me!

I get tested on Monday & I haven't been this worried in a long time. Seriously, what if it's actually a hormone disorder? How do I manage this?

being the little spoon hits different

new to relationships and cuddling, but it's been nice. i like it. but i've always been the one kinda holding her while she snuggles up to me. until last night, she has us laying in her bed and was curled up around me and oh my god. i've never felt so safe and loved and happy. i even cried a little bit from being so happy, first time that's ever happened lol. 

and she said she loved me. i was thinking it but didn't want to just blurt it out cause i know it's early, but i was feeling it hard and i'm glad she said it first. i'm really, really happy with her. i love my girlfriend ♥️♥️♥️

My parents: Don't have sex before marriage or you will be sent to hell

Me: Okay, I don't want to have sex ever anyway. I'm asexual.

My parents: Don't put that label on yourself you're overthinking you're a late bloomer and you just haven't met the right guy.
