You belong. You are valued. You are understood.

Sex-averse? Sex-indifferent? Sex-favorable? Questioning? Aroace? Alloromantic and ace? Any identity under our large and beautiful asexual umbrella?

You belong here and always have a space in the rest of the world and in this community. With how topics fluctuate in this sub, it can be hard to always feel and see that belonging, but it doesn't mean it's not there. There is always someone here who can relate to your experiences, even when they don't always speak out for it. You are loved for who you are. You are accepted. You are understood. You belong, even when it feels like the world screams that you don't.

You don't have to come out to the world unless you want to. It's okay to wait until you feel the time is right. Do what you feel is best for you and trust your decision, even if that means staying in the closet or coming out to your conservative parents. Even when it feels like the rest of the world rejects you, we see your beauty and the challenges you face.

You are perfect and lovely as you are now, and will continue to be as you live, change, and grow. We see you.

Your existence is a gift to all of us that brings understanding, kinship, perspective, support, and so much more (even if you tend to lurk like me 😊). You belong here on this earth and in this community. We accept you and every part of yourself that you bring to us. We are proud of you.

Always thought I'm asexual, but

I met this new guy and we went out couple times, did some kissing etc. I find myself thinking of him all the time in a sexual way, I get wet and want him to do stuff with me and I want to do stuff with him. Never had this in my life(30f), always thought im asexual and hate sex. Few times I had sex it was like chore and I hated it.

Does it mean they were right and I just haven't met the right one?!?! Wtf haha help a confused ace( if im even an ace)

It should be a rule that “Am I asexual?” posts should be deleted and the users directed to the pinned post to help them instead

Because it’s the only thing I see on my feed from this community… I don’t see any other posts unless I go to the community page directly

Does anyone else agree? I’m not trying to be mean here but I just want to see something else from the community is all.
