Have anyone of you thought of getting a hormone panel just to prove that our asexuality is not hormonal?

I have never encountered something like this in person, but I am just kinda worried that it will happen. Though it does not prove anything for me because people can still say it's my SNRI making me asexual.

Sexual attraction is not libido damn it. Even that I don't feel horny doesn't mean I don't want or enjoy sexual activities. I don't want it with another person.

marriage.

I'm someone who is under 18, yet my parents keep bringing up marriage and having kids and all that. it makes me super uncomfortable and they still bring up this topic even though I told them I was uncomfortable with it many times. I always bring up a counterargument like, "What am I supposed to do if I don't fall in love with anyone? Do I just force myself into a random marriage with someone I don't even like?" and they told me...

"That's not possible, everyone falls in love. It's not possible for someone to not develop feelings for another person", something along the lines of that. What? No. That's incorrect. Out of 7 billion people on the face of this planet, there's no one in the world who hasn't not fallen in love with anyone? Is that what you're trying to tell me? And the topic of marriage keeps on coming up, and I get more and more uncomfortable with it. When I ask, "well, what if I didn't love anyone?" she "tsk-tsks" me or shrugs.

I feel stuck because they tell me life is worthless without marriage or kids, but the process of having kids and the effect on your body afterwards seems so hard to deal with; especially postpartum depression and adding weight from your stomach expanding so much. I feel like I'll be depressed if I don't marry and have kids, but I also feel like I'd be depressed if I did the opposite and lived by myself. I hate this so much. I can't get rid of this mindset no matter who I talk to or what I think of.

My dad told me that if I get married, I'm going to be owned by my husband. What? Huh? What do you mean "owned"?? I might as well be put on a leash and have a dog tag with the writing "If found lost, please return to (husband's name)". Wtf??

My mom told me the only reason I was born a girl was to marry a husband and give life to a kid. I feel literally worthless. What's the point of existing at this point??? I don't even feel like I'm supposed to live a regular humanly life, I feel like I'm getting an education and working hard to just to end up as a housewife and baby maker.

My science teacher makes me feel more comfortable than my parents. He accepts the fact that I don't want to get in a relationship with anyone or feel attraction, and he told me it's totally okay and you can live a perfectly happy and normal life even without marriage. This is one of the only thoughts that distracts me from everything else, and makes me a little happier. He deserves everything, and I think he's awesome.

(Thought I'd post this to make me feel a little better).

Are you intersex?

I am intersex and wondered if me being intersex is part of the reason I am asexual. I also wondered how many other aces were intersex too. So I decided to make this poll.

Confessed my Sexuality

Yesterday I told to one of my best friend that, I'm Asexual. She was shocked. She acted like she didn't expect me to be.
Then she asked me a lot of questions about the asexuality and stuffs.
I never knew confessing the asexuality would be this hard😶.

Finally to my astonishment, she also said me that she's an ace too 🤩. It's just that she didn't knew the term and she thought she herself was wierd not being getting attracted sexually.

There are lot of asexuals out there, they just don't know.

And finally, our bond got stronger 😊. It is really great to have a friend with same sexuality.
