For any Good Omens fans amongst us, I thought I'd share my new Ace Pride Crowley and Aziraphale enamel pins :)

Opinion: coming out as asexual is weird to me and I don’t think I’ll ever do it.
So, I understand coming out to family and friends as bisexual, gay, etc. since it’ll be pretty obvious or require some sort of explanation if/when you start seeing someone of the opposite sex (for example). But for me… I’m a cis female, heteroromantic. If I choose to come out as ace all I am really telling people is that I don’t like or want sex like 99% of the time. To me that’s weird - I don’t talk about sex to my family or friends. It feels like it would be so weird and awkward and a TMI moment to volunteer this information to people.
I found out I was asexual about 6 years ago when I was just starting a relationship with my present day husband. I knew I loved him and I didn’t want to lose him, but I knew that I did not want sex. And I was terrified I was going to lose him BECAUSE I didn’t want sex. Of course, my husband knows I am ace. And while I was going through figuring it all out (and being completely distraught over it) I did talk to an ex-boyfriend about it (he was super sexual and I felt like I owed it to him to tell him why I was the way I was). I also talked to a couple of my friends for emotional support. Beyond that first “discovery” phase, I have never brought it up again. Part of me knows like 98% of people will laugh or say something rude or tell me to see a doctor. But I just can’t get over how fucking weird it feels to imagine myself just volunteering to people out of the blue that I don’t like or want sex.
Is this weird? Is that not how everyone else feels about it? I’d like to know y’all’s thoughts and feelings.

My brothers friend said he could “change me” tonight
He came over and was talking about a lot of things pretty nice. I told him I was asexual and he didn’t know what that was so I told him. Long story short he said “I can change you” and touched my butt. My lock on my door is broken and I’m staying up all night. I don’t trust he won’t come in during the night. I’ll message what happens tomorrow. Please put your ideas below what I can do 😣
