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?

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 ♥️♥️♥️

Ah yes, I’m an asexual who never wants to have sex because no one else wants to sleep with me **facepalm**

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.

Possibly wrong room, but does anyone else find people sexually attractive (admittedly very few people) but does not want to have sex with them?

Ace Week!
First off, happy day one of Ace Week! This is my first real "pride" type thing I'm taking any part in, at least bigger scale one, and I'm excited!
What plans and ideas do you guys have for your week?
I have a couple of pins which should be dropping while I'm at work tomorrow and I'm going to be basically talking to anyone who will listen about what it's like to be ace! Or, at least, my experience being ace. Granted, where I live is... Shall we say, "not the most receptive" to anything not 100% cishet, but progress will never be made if no one works towards it!
