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.

Possibly came out in conversation to family
Hello everyone.
I was helping my aunt with the Thanksgiving cooking when the conversation happened. She was telling me about a possible...suitor, I guess, or man I would be interested in meeting with. She was telling me about his looks, which I told her that it didn't matter what he looked like and looks weren't really important to me, nor his weight which was to her was very heavyset. To be fair though, I did have a type of man that always seemed to catch my eye: They were always slim men with long black hair. To me those men were always pretty to look at.
But my ex boyfriend was heavy and had black hair, so my type was a bit off.
Then she went on to say that if a sexual relationship were to develop between us, I asked her.
"I don't want to have sex in a relationship. Does that make me weird?".
She looked surprised and replied that it didn't.
I was relived. Happy, even. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
So, I didn't come "out", but to me, it's close enough.

Anyone else have this ace experience growing up?
When I was 10-12, we had our first lesson in sex ed in school. I remember really struggling to try to reconcile that people had genitals under their clothes. Like, objectively I always knew they did, but I still couldn't imagine that. Now I'm 24 and I STILL can't imagine anyone has genitals. And when I remember that fact, I get just a wee bit uncomfortable.
Maybe that's just not viewing people as sexual objects, or maybe it's an ace experience. I'm not sure exactly. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
