how do I come to terms with this?

This is my first post here or anywhere, because ive never been unsure about anything in my life. I'm 18ftm and since I was maybe 11(?) I knew i was gay, ive known everything about myself except for what this is. 1 year ago I had a gf, who our relationship ended shortly cause I was so paranoid about having sex, about even making out with her because it was confusing. last night, I went to a club, and I hated making out, I hated the fact that people would want it to lead to sex and ive dumbed it down to maybe im asexual. but idk how to process this. I dont know anyone who's asexual, everyone in my life is sexually active and just talk about how great life is with sex and I feel so outcasted. how do I come to terms with this

I find myself with an “asexual bias” view of the world

Im asexual and I've been fairly confident in that for many years, but I’ve come to the realization recently as to how fundamentally different I am looking at the world compared to my friends, who none of which are asexual.

I was thinking about this while talking to my friend, who described my music taste as “very hopelessly romantic”. That surprised me, and I realized I just listen to a lot of romantic songs or songs with sex based lyrics, but I kinda thought of them as songs about the value of romance over sex or other similar ideas. I’ve also found I do this with other media, as I remembered the first time seeing the hunger games, trying to convince myself Peeta and Katniss were two people with strong non-romantic bonds.

I just kinda wanted to see if other people feel like this, had this same idea come to them, stuff like that. I just found the idea that others are perceiving me as “romantic” to be a little funny.

Would you guys think a sub e.g. r/SexRepulsed would be beneficial & used? Or not really necessary?

Just wondering what you guys think.

Anybody else that's just apathetic to their gender identity? (yesthisisacerelated)

Title... I dunno how to describe it but I just don't feel attached to the concept of masculinity at all. Like yeah im a guy sure. So what. I look male but I do have long hair and will get earrings soon but thats about it. Im not gonna go out of my way to break gender norms but I have no issue doing so I feel like.

Anyways I read a survey that many asexuals also have gender apathy so I was just curious if that's true? Anybody else kinda feel this way?

Kallmann syndrome

I have a rather strange story. I hope it is acceptable to post here.

I have a condition called Kallmann syndrome which meant I did not go through puberty correctly. I was incorrectly labelled as a "late bloomer" untl I was 23 years old, at which time I started hormone therapy (testosterone).

As a teenager I had no sexual drive at all and very little sexual awareness. I had a vague idea of what puberty was but little idea about sex and sexuality. I was basically asexual, but I never would have known that term when I was younger.

Growing up I knew I was more interested in the male body than the female one but at the time it was not sexual, it was more of a curiousity as to the development I was not going through at the time. Even the very rare times I found a porn magazine, I looked nothing like the guys I saw there.

Even after starting testosterone treatment at the age of 23 it took a few years for my sexual awareness to grow. Looking back I think I was content back then. I certainly knew I was missing out on something but it seemed not to bother me much and I just kept myself busy with work and hobbies.

It is totally different now. I have a high drive but the lack of development and self confidence makes physical relationships difficult for me. I do enjoy the encounters I do have but I do not have to have them as frequently as I assume most other people do.

Sometimes I miss those asexual days when I had no strong sexual feelings. I need to be on testosterone therapy though, it has health benefits that I need.

It has been a too long a post already. Thank you if you have read this far. I am happy to answer any questions, should there be any.

Like men and women here but I refuse to have sex

Does anyone else have the same problem?

I don’t really seek or feel sexual attraction much to anybody except select few, but I’m comfortable with nudity and intimacy in certain contexts.

Aces of reddit: Describe your ideal type of romance/relationship

what I mean) and that question popped into my brain.

So here's the "question" (as said in the title already, but I'm weird):

Describe your personal ideal type of relationship or romance. How you imagine your dream relationship, regarding dynamic, love language if you want, just whatever comes to mind!

As done before, of course I will answer it myself as well. (in the rare case someone's interested lol) And I admit, it's really not an easy question to answer.

Thing is, I'm a very clingy person. I'm a cuddle bear, I could spend the day cuddling on the couch watching movies and it would be a perfect day for me. And in general, I'm just really clingy. (Which was a bad thing in most cases so far, to be fair) Along with that clinginess comes also the loyalty. If I'm in love with someone, they're pretty much all I think about and I could stick to them 24/7. Only issue that comes with that is the jealousy. As mentioned in my previous poll about toxic trait, I get jealous very easily. It simply comes from me having been cheated on before due to my asexuality and that sort of possessiveness that I tend to have, so I just need reassurance... a lot.

Now, it's a long beating around the bush and I apologize for that, but I kinda felt like giving more background on my personality so that my answer makes more sense. Bottom line, as also clearly reflected in the novels I write, is that for me, it's a "ride or die," or "you and me against the world," maybe a little Bonnie and Clyde type of love. All those just generally a little "cute possessive" type. (If you know what I mean... I just hope I dont come across as a maniac or some shit lol)

To be fair, I've never been in it one that before, but that's how I always imagine it idealy for me and I won't ever stop dreaming and wishing for it, even if I die alone.

Anyway, have fun answering! :3

Am I valid?

I am a female, I am also a minor and when i was around 6-now l had unrestricted internet access which lead me to find nsfw sights and what not and now growing up I find myself with actual hypersexual thoughts and feelings of some kinks that most others would find disgusting and immoral and normal kinks that I also like that are constantly in my head no matter where I am, but I also hate the thought of actual intimacy with anyone and whenever someone tries to do anything I get disgusted and will often ghost the person. I don't crave a relationships either, not because I'm aromantic or anything just because I hate the thought of intimacy with other people but when i do get emotional connections and love someone the second they bring up intimacy I want to leave. The question I ask tho is even tho I have 24/7 sexual thoughts and act on them when I'm by myself and feel like I crave sexual intimacy but when it comes to actual people I completely shut it off and get disgusted am I valid?
