How is s*x supposed to feel?

I’m asexual, but comfortable enough that my boyfriend and I have been having sex.

So I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to be feeling… It’s not bad necessarily, but I’d hesitate to call it good, sometimes it’s nice but, mostly just kind of A Lot I guess. And at some angles it definitely does hurt a little. It just feels weird?

I’m not sure if this is an ace thing or a more universal thing, if anyone is comfortable sort of explaining what it feels like, I’d be grateful!

Or has any tips I guess!

How can I succinctly and clearly tell a room full of high schoolers that being asexual is ok?

I’m going to be discussing sex and sexuality to a group of about 80-100 high schoolers, and one of the brief caveats I want to go over (before I get into the meat of the message) is that if a student is thinking that something is wrong with them because they’re not relationship/sex crazy “like everyone else is,” that they might be asexual and that is okay. Is there anything more I would need to say, besides that? It seems like enough to me, but I don’t identify as ace. If you knew you were asexual by the time you were a teen, what could someone have said to make you feel supported and loved?

For context: this is in a conventional Christian church setting. If you’d like to know more about what else I’m planning on saying during the message, feel free to ask.

I dropped the most obvious "hint" about my asexuality

CW: Sex frequently mentioned

Yesterday, I was talking to my dad and somehow the topic of sex came up. He was kind of awkward when talking about it, which I get cause I'm his teenage daughter lol. So I decided to tested the waters and see if he would be accepting. The conversation is paraphrased:

Me: "I honestly don't get sex or wanting to have sex with someone, it seems gross."

Dad: "Well, you may just be a late bloomer, and that's fine."

Me: "I don't know dad, I'm Fifteen, I would think me developing sexual attraction would happen by now."

Dad: "Hmm... okay. That might effect your future relationships, not everyone will want to just hold hands forever. You might never get into a relationship."

Me: "That's fine, I don't mind. I'm not going to force myself to do anything that I'm uncomfortable with. Maybe one day I could find someone like me, but if not that's fine too."

Dad: "Yeah, don't force yourself out of your comfort zone, I just wanted to let you know that most people will develop sexual attraction."

Me: "And, what if I don't?"

Dad: "I won't complain, Id rather not think about my kid....y'know anyways. I am perfectly happy if you decide if you never wanted to get into sexual relationship, though If that changes I would totally get it. It would be unrealistic to expect you to never feel sexual attraction. But, if you don't then hey." *Then he just gave me a smile and shrug*



Can I count this as coming out lmao? It seems to have gone well. Anyways, thank you for reading.
