Vent about Christian views on asexuality
So I’m 20 years old and a biromantic ace girl. I’ve been in a loving relationship with my bf for 2 years now but my father still feels uncomfortable with me being alone with him.
I was raised in a Christian home and I do love God, but the older I get, the more I find myself disagreeing with commonly-held Christian beliefs on sexuality.
Recently, my bf and I had a trip away for a few days, just the two of us. A man and a woman. Alone.
Before I left, my father gave me “The Talk” (or some weak semblance of one) for the first time in my life. He warned me of the temptations of spending several days alone with my boyfriend and how we were both young, which increased the risk of ungodly things happening.
I’ve never experienced this in other circles. It always seems to be the Christians who are the most terrified of the temptations of sex. As an ace, I find myself having zero problems with that and it just seems like everyone around me is way too horny. (Ever wonder why Christians get married so young?)
What I’ve noticed a lot in conversation with other Christians (generally the older generations) is that sexuality is a significant part of a healthy, God-loving relationship. Sex seems to be taken for granted as a part of being human. Anyone deviating from that has some sort of problem or is lying.
It kills me that even as a grown woman, I cannot be trusted with my own partner. If I tell anyone I’m ace, they simply won’t believe me.
Alright, rant over. Does anyone else have similar experiences?

Why do some people in the LGBTQIA+ community think us aces don’t belong in the community?
I have been told too many times by people in the community that I don’t belong in it and I’m starting to go insane by it. Last time I was told it was yesterday by someone who claimed we couldn’t be a part of it because we “weren’t oppressed” and other stuff about us not being in danger because we’re ace (and that ace isn’t even a sexuality). Can they just stop excluding us already??

very unpopular opinion & genuine question
does anyone on here have an original joke? Yes, garlic bread and invading Denkmark, cue laugh track, but like, all the other LGBTQ+ subs have actual humour. This one I really do love but… it does feel like most people on here have that quirky 14-y/o humour and mentality. Why is that?
I want to leave all subs that just aren’t entertaining or informative and this one is neither… but I feel like it used to be. That’s all. I really hope I’m not the only one who feels this way

Anyone else confuse romantic and sexual attraction when they were younger?
