This is the only place i can vent about this.

I’ve been trying and trying to make my mom understand that I’m so sure of my asexuality and the only thing she does is deny it saying “How can you know if you’ve never tried?” And gave me a WHOLE speech of why i am wrong and i just don’t know what i want. She almost freaked out, I wouldn’t like to see her reaction the day she finds out that I’m also aromantic. The thing is ok, i could just ignore it but i’m not asking for too much, i just want acceptance, stop treating me as if i was allo, it makes me so uncomfortable.

I hate being such a black sheep

For context, I’m a sex repulsed ace. A very sex repulsed ace.

I always feel so alone, like no one else understands my disdain for sex. I don’t want anything to do with it or anything associated with it. It hurts that people try to change me, they don’t believe me. I hate walking on eggshells because everything can somehow be an “innuendo.” I somehow say something suggestive and people use it as a “gotcha” to prove im not sex repulsed. I genuinely don’t even know how somethings can be interpreted in that way, and my intentions are never to be sexual. It hurts to not have anyone that can relate to my situation. Everyone in my life doesn’t accept or believe my asexuality.

I’d just like some kind words to know I’m not alone.

My experience as a Christian Ace.

Looking for advice on how to tell my family I'm Ace

Context: Straight-Ace. Come from a Christian family. Moved out and living on my own, but still see my parents regularly. Never dated so not 100% sure where I fall on the ace spectrum, but I am open to dating women and just have next to no interest in sex if at all. Absolutely no desire for kids and I don't think I could make my position clearer without explaining that I don't even want to have sex with a potential future wife.

I recently tried coming out while at their house, but I couldn't figure out a way to broach the subject without it being super abrupt and awkward and ended up chickening out before I could say anything.

I feel like this is a discussion I need to have both so my folks and I are on the same page about stuff as well as there are some subjects I don't think I can speak honestly about without touching on my being ace (ie how I don't want kids or some things that have been bothering me at church).

Part of the problem is that I'm not even sure if either of my parents know what asexuality even is. I showed my mom a picture of an ace pride shirt I got recently and the meaning seemed to go straight over her head (granted, it is a stealth pride design and I freely admit it's my style even outside of that context, but still). I have done some prep work and started compiling some basic notes in case they had questions.

If anyone has advice on how to broach the subject and make this talk a little less awkward, I'm all ears.

Any other Freysexuals here?

Freysexual - someone who loses sexual interest in someone once they get to know them.

Hey y'all, I'm a Frey/Grey ace. I've never spoken to another Freysexual, so I'm curious if any of y'all identify (or may be questioning) with being Frey?

Also feel free to ask questions bc I love talking about my anactdotal expirience.

"Dead bedroom" posts are so gross to me

It's usually some middle aged guy who under appreciates his gf/wife and complains to thousands of strangers online that "how dare she have autonomy and use it!! She should always want to fuck me!"😂 it's like a small child complaining they can't use their favourite toy all the time. It's seriously pathetic and I'm so glad sex doesn't drive me the way it drives "normal people" cuz its honestly gross to me.

I want the intimacy without the Sex

okay so technically I'm Sex indifferent but I've had so much SA trauma from all genders that I just can not do it even if in theory I wouldn't mind. I am the opposite of most AroAce in the sense that when heavily romantic or a sex scene comes on I'm not always disgusted or uncomfy. some sex scenes I look at and you can see so much chemistry between the characters that all I think about is how connected they are just the intimacy and closeness of it all, I want that so bad. to trust someone completely to be so vulnerable. and like yes I know there are many ways to get that besides sex, I used to always say that I would rather a deep convo late at night staying up laughing together. But I think the nice thing about sex with people who have a deep love for each other is that it's both a physical and emotional connection. Id give anything to have that type of bond with someone, without the actual sex of course. I'm into kink as well but it's hard finding Kinky Aces, but kink is not inherently sexual. ugh idk this is like the one thing I don't like about being Ace + SA trauma. idk Does anyone relate to this?

I am so confused- my psychiatrist thinks I’m Asexual

Hi everyone,
A few months ago my psychiatrist told me he thinks I may be asexual. I have never heard of this term
before. After doing my own research I am even more
confused. I don’t feel like I fit the mold of what he is describing to me. He told me to do some research but it’s left me with more questions. I’m early 30s F, ex adult film creator, sex has always been a huge part of my life.

My whole adult life I’ve been pretty extreme in terms of sexuality. I’ve had many partners and enjoy different extreme fetishes as well. I’ve even made it my livelihood at one point in my life, and have been interested in different genders and group play. However, I am extremely bipolar and only partake in these sexual experiences when manic or under the influence of substances. Sober, although I still experience intense sexual attraction and practice solo acts, It’s really hard for me to be intimate with others. I am far too self-conscious about my body to be touched sexually in any way in a normal state of mind- even a back massage makes me shudder. I absolutely can’t stand to be touched or seen in a compromised state and I overthink that if I’m touching someone else, I’ll disappoint them. None of this stops me from having an enormous amount of sexual attraction to others- it’s just kept inside until I’m feeling manic or have a drink.

My psychiatrist has mentioned it a few times over the last few months and says I’m sex-repulsed. I personally feel it’s more that I am just really self conscious. He’s been on my team around a year now and I usually trust his opinion but I mean I am not repulsed by sex all of the time, and truly feel like if I was better looking and more confident, I would never be sex repulsed. After doing a lot of research I’m even more confused as there are so
many asexual variations… is anyone out there going through something similar?

Thank you 🙏
