Debunking literall "Sex= Everything better" with logic and reason
A lot of "reaserch" had been done on the topic of sex.
And a lot of them suck.
Reaserch on this topic claim that:
*Frequent sexual intercourse can boost your health not only physical one, but psychological and relationship one too, via:
- Boosting your heartbeat
- Lowering your blood pressure
- Getting better sleep
- Boosting of your immune system
- Decreasing of depression and anxiety
- Relationships who have frequent sex are usually healthier overall
- Releasing sexual tension
Most of these beneficts can be achieved simply by exercising regularly, or even masturbation, and eating healthy.
The rest of these points aren't really about sex, for example when you have a partner, you probably won't have sex with them, if you don't trust them or if they abuse you, and overall you're anxious around them.
sex ≠ Good relationships
Sex can be a part of a healthy relationship, but it can't be the only thing that keeps it going.
Therefore, my fellow aces, if you're sex repulsed and don't masturbate, or just don' t enjoying it that much,
exercise,
eat healthy
and set healthy boundaries with other people.

In my philosophy tutorial the TA mentioned how people who knew Nietzsche described him as “a man who had never touched a woman” and someone else in the class went like “Aww” in a tone like that was the saddest thing they’d ever heard, and said “No wonder he was a nihilist.”
Admittedly I don’t think Nietzsche was asexual and/or aromantic. I didn’t pay much attention in class (whoops) but I think he said stuff about women that gave me incel vibes.
But still! Why do you have to lack a partner to be a nihilist? Can’t people just be nihilists because the universe is big and uncaring and everything, including romance/sex only has the meaning we ascribe to it? Did they mean to imply that “Love” is what gives life meaning? Yuck! I almost spoke up but I chickened out.
This isn’t the first time I’ve almost mentioned being aroace in the class. There’s been a lot of mention of philosophers talking about how important “Love” is and it always makes me feel weird. I don’t know why I’m too awkward to say anything. I guess I’m worried it would seem like TMI? Like “why are you telling me this?” Even if it was relevant.

Why do allos put sex over everything?
Okay, so, I know I sound petty as fuck, but here I go.
I have a best friend, who, unlike me, is veeeeery sexual in nature. We are very similar in many aspects, except when it comes to sexuality. We couldn't be more different, me being ace and her being a very hypersexual pan.
Recently, she broke up with with her husband, and, let's put it this way, is exploring. I don't have any problem with that, but it bothers me when she prioritizes seeing a potential sex partner when we had promised to hang out.
For context, we only saw each other this year once, about two months ago, after being apart for a year and a half due to covid worries. But after she got vaccinated in september, she's been with many people (believe me when I say many) and saw some repeatedly. It's like everyone fits on her schedule but me.
I bet that, if I had something else to offer her other than friendship (if you know what I mean), and I'm sure she would want that from me, I would be up high in her priority list. Well, but I'm not a potential hook up, so not seeing me is okay, I guess? Ugh, this makes me so mad!
I needed a place to vent, and I thought other aces would understand me. So, if anyone knows why allos are so damn insuferable when it comes to sex, as if it's this great thing, please tell me.

An example of why representation matters
I'm aroace and I recently came out to my best friend:
We were having a conversation about how connected we are to our friends and she basically wondered about how attached we would be to a partner if we were this close with each other(as friends). I said that that problem was solved for me since I wasn't intending to have a romantic relationship. She said 'sometimes you really sound like you're asexual'. I responded like 'you actually know what that is???' and I basically made sure she wasn't an aphobe before I decided to just tell her on the spot.
Turns out she had watched Sex Education and found out what asexuality was through that! Because of representation I didn't have to go through the tiring process of explaining what asexuality is. I did have to distinguish the difference between asexuality and aromanticism since she hadn't heard or aromantics before but its still a lot better than nothing.
It made me really happy and I thought you guys might enjoy it too! :)

Feel sexual attraction, but it goes away during sex
I (M20) feel what I imagine is a normal amount of sexual attraction towards women. I consider myself reasonably attractive and have found myself in several sexual situations, and while we're building up to the sexual act I feel an intense desire to be sexual, but as soon that sexual act begins it's like my libido stops working. I don't have erectile dysfunction or anything like that, and I don't feel repulsed by sex, I just feel neutral, like I'm suddenly no longer aroused. I think I may be asexual but I'm really not sure.
