If they all get Thor, Deadpool, and Spider-Man respectively, can we have Doctor Strange? I feel like he’d be too busy turning reality into his toy to care about sex.

Going on my first date… ever!

Hi Reddit!
I (25F) am going on my first ever date soon! She’s ace too, we have a lot in common from our conversations, and I’m excited to meet in person! I’ve literally never been on a date in my life so I’m incredibly nervous, but in a good way?? I couldn’t fall asleep last night because I was thinking about her… I feel like a huge dork 😅
If anyone has any advice I’d love to hear it!!

How do you feel about sex and how do you feel about being asexual? (Feel free to comment if the available options don't apply to you. And, remember, no matter what the results are, you are 100% valid)

Sorry if it's been done. Lately I've seen a few posts by people who lament being asexual, which surprised me since it's the complete opposite of my experience, and I was wondering if it could have something to do with how each of us feels towards sex (I lean heavily towards aversion).

I'm an ace dude and I feel like it makes me less of a man

For context, I'm an 18 year old dude in my last year od highschool. I always hear my friends talking about how much they enjoy spending time with their partner or how they're talking to girls and going on dates or hooking up and stuff like that. And tbh it just makes me feel really lonely. I've had a gf before (it was long distance) but she would ask me if I was gay bc I didn't feel comfortable doing sexual stuff with her yet since I'm demi and it takes a long time for that stuff to kick in. Eventually I found out that she had been cheating on me, and I think one of the main reasons why was because we didn't do sex stuff. People make fun of me and call me a "loser" when I tell them I haven't had my first kiss and things like that too. It seems like there's this expectation for a dude my age to be super sexual and desperate for sex, and it just makes me feel so alone and "broken". I know I shouldn't feel this way and that I should just accept myself as I am, but it's just difficult.

Asexual professor rant

I'm a relatively new college professor (early 30s male) and as I was getting ready to start my job (pre-pandemic) I had multiple people insinuate that it would be hard to avoid banging my students. "There's gonna be some attractive girls in your class...they're going to be looking at you...the temptation is there." "What are you going to do when your female students start hitting on you???" that kind of thing.

Like, I'm a fucking professional, I'm not going to bang my students no matter how hot they are because that's super creepy and a violation of a power differential and will get me fired. I guess this is something that allos struggle with?

edit: thank you all for the congratulations but as I mentioned, I started the job before the pandemic so it's not new new anymore :)

Can we please not discourage these types of posts?

Somebody just posted a question about navigating a sexual relationship with an asexual person. The person who posted was respectful to their asexual partner, but concerned about whether things had made them uncomfortable. Somebody else tried to tell them that they shouldn't post the question because it was sexual in nature, even though there was no graphic details at all in the post. Sadly, the original poster deleted both their post and their username.

Can I just say that I see so much of what mainstream culture claims is necessary for a relationship coming from allosexuals? Unfortunately, our voices get silenced on important issues that pertain to us. People think they have to tiptoe around when it comes to discussing sexual issues with us. Can we stop promoting that stereotype? If a post makes you uncomfortable, you can ignore it and not respond. But I for one think posts like this from allosexuals with an asexual person absolutely belong here.
