I was intoxicated and came out to my girlfriend.
I grew up my whole life being forced into the perfect straight Christian American male. I always thought "I'll feel sexual when I'm older" or "if I do it enough I will like it". Just over the last few months I've learned what asexuality is. I just always assumed something was wrong. I have hinted at it a few times and tried to talk about it but it never went well. My girlfriend was getting upset at me for the umpteenth time about how I don't initiate sex and I was too drunk. I blurted out and it blew up. She said things like "there is something wrong in your brain and you need therapy to change it" "I just want sex like normal couples" and "I love you but I need sex to feel good about myself". I was tired the cycle of being bullied into a corner then pretending like I love it for a while until I stop pretending then it starts over and over. I am very hurt and I don't know how to fix this. I was planning on thinking this through and approaching it gently.

My allo friend couldn't comprehend me finding people beautiful
As the title says. We were walking and having a talk about looking at people in public and how to do so respectfully and such, and I mentioned that I of course also look at people on the streets and find them really beautiful. He stopped and turned as if I had just told him something really groundbreaking, and with furrowed brows he asked me why in the world I would go around finding people pretty. He asked "what is it about them that you could find pretty?". He knows I'm aroace, but that just leaves me thinking what the hell it is he would be looking at and finding beautiful in people. Like,,,, do you look at a pretty person and only ever think about bedding them??? But but what about their stunning face or beautiful hair color or intricate eyeliner and put-together outfit? Like I don't need to want to sex someone for me to find them pretty?? Sometimes the world disturbs me. Anyway have a good day now!

My partner is a demi and it's honestly the best
I love them, and not because they are a demi but... It's nice, no pressure to do sexual things, they treat sex as just another activity like reading together or watching a movie (and I recently discovered that they enjoy those things much more than kinky ones) god they don't even understand things in any sexual context that doesn't have me in it, and it's fun to explain them things and how people think (even if they gag sometimes) . I feel like sex and being a "man" always made things a little forced for me, i tried being with a lot of people but... It never really worked, but in this relationship we talk about everything, cuddle and have fun with no pressure to be something we are not, i accept them, they accept me, and again, I know this doesn't necessarily have to do with them being a demi but... It's just nice the way they view things, and I love them so much.
Edit: I personally indentify as aroflux myself, I don't know if it is even the right term because I am alloromantic a lot of the time, it's just that it fluctuates all the way down to even aromantic for days/weeks sometimes, it honestly bothers me a bit but I've learned to live with it and it's not so bad

Ahhhhhhahaha so I accidentally said us to my sister
I’m super closeted ace and me and my sister both love lgbt memes (I think she might be a closet bi, but this isn’t about her) and so naturally we were talking about the bi ace war. We get on the subject of the wars end and I said, “Didn’t they make pease by offering US lemon bars?” Then I feel my eyes go wide and color leave my face, she hardly noticed but I felt like I died and reincarnated instantly. Not really a point to this story maybe one of you will find it funny or something.

I recently came out to my mother about my asexuality (and identifying as agender) after questioning who I was and why I didn't feel the way others my age did. So, for my birthday, she made an ace-inspired cake to show her support for my asexuality. Plus, as we all know, cake is better than sex!
