I hate biology
I hate feeling anything, let alone something I'm disgusted by
I hate being surrounded by it at all turns, without an escape
I hate how our whole world is centered around it, I hate how it's all an expectation
I hate how it's something most people enjoy, I hate that I can't
I hate how fast I can switch from okay with the situation to feeling awful (I literally get headaches)
I hate being an asexual when all forces are against it.

Would you say this is AroAllo Representation?
Apologies for the long post, but I have heard conflicting opinions on whether or not this counts as ‘representation’ and so I thought I’d ask here.
I’m writing a high fantasy book (duology) that includes a fairly major character (especially in book one) who is Aromantic Allosexual.
The words Asexual, Gay, Aromantic, Heterosexual/Straight, etc aren’t used or really known in the world the book is set in, (I’ve been told before that if the word isn’t explicitly said, then it can’t be representation, which I kind of disagree with but anyway), but the AroAllo character, at multiple points in the book, has discussions/points out that:
- They’ve been (sexually) attracted to many people in the past but nothing has ever felt romantic.
- They have no desire to court/date anyone and never want to marry.
- They’ve never seen this part of them to be an issue.
- When overhearing others talk about romantic attraction, from the description and excitement, he recognises that he’s never felt that way about anyone.
At the start of the book, this character comes across as slightly arrogant, but it’s a defence mechanism. He quietly longs for a solid group of friends where he is just seen and accepted for who he is. He admits this later on, when he does get exactly that.
This character is also an incredibly sociable person, gets very excited when his friends get into relationships (he’s romance positive), hugely values his friendships and familial bonds, and will do anything for them.
The book is not a coming of age story, and doesn’t revolve around the character discovering this part of themself. (I’ve also been told before that if his identity isn’t the centre of the story then it can’t be representation, which again I disagree with.)

How do y'all deal with being asexual?
Being asexual is really weird to me. I like people both in terms of romantic and sexual attractiveness but because I don't have any interest in sex or enjoyment in it, I tend to get in my head about it.
I don't tend to be into people that are also asexual so its really difficult because I fear/know that they're definitely a sex-haver.
Obviously I know there's no way to suddenly have a sex drive or whatever but I was wondering if anyone had any good ways of kinda dealing with it. It was fine as a teenager but now that im in my 20s it's just really weird.

Yo……idk why boobs are so sexualized….
Like….its just boobs
Like, yes, there are ppl who find it sexually appealing ( which is ok, i don’t get why they do. But its still ok )
But sometimes it feels like ppl oversexualized it so much ( and i mean SO MUCH ) to the point that if they see someone who has a bigger chest, they become targeted BADLY
Sir….WHAT????
Like, they dont Even do anything. They would talking abt how they are eating pineapples or just talking about CHEESE. But ppl would go insane abt their chest ( im talking abt social media. I have noticed ppl doing this. Even with other ppls OCs. They would hate on them bc of the characters having a larger chest and then accuse them of fetishizing. The OCs was just drinking coffee btw )
I don’t get why everything is so sexualized.
Feets are sexualized, armpits…SEXUALIZED, and boobs…SEXUALIZED TO THE CORE.
And again, i am not talking abt ppl who find it sexually appealing.
I am talking abt ppl only thinking that boobs are just sexual and sexual ONLY and then shame on others for having a bigger chest bc to them its ‘’ fetishizing ‘’ even though the person was not showing any behaviour of fetishizing bigger chest.
( someone even sexualized a woman BREASTFEEDING THEIR CHILD……ARE YOU KIDDING ME )
Like, dont get me wrong, i do think boobs have an aesthetic appeal. Like in clothes and would fit their shape and all. Or like a renaissance painting.
Heck it could Even be used as pillows! And you can also hear someones heartbeat when lying on them so i don’t mind them.
I just hate how its so oversexualized to the point that ppl don’t see it differently
It makes me go insane bc most ppl are just oversexualizing it so much. Idk if its Even just me tbh
Does anyone relate?
I Hope this post isnt too insensitive. Bc i don’t want it to be. Its just that i have noticed this pattern everywhere and its getting tiring bc of how its so….yk.sexualized.
So yeah, i am very sorry if this post sounded insensitive. Pls let me know if it is so i wont do the same mistake again.
Ty for listening!
