My boyfriend came out to me as demi!

Last night, he said he thinks he is demisexual. He said he doesn't develop crushes on random people. He said he had to get to know me first before he got feelings for me. He said that since we are really close, he is comfortable doing anything with me. After a little bit of talking, he said that he likes it and is demi! I feel so proud and happy for him! I'm also ace myself so it feels great that I have a demi partner :).
If he sees this: hello im proud of you!

!!Aphobia!!

so today I’m a little emotional and angry, my mother had brought up me being ace and practically stating that woman are made to have kids and to get married, which I do not want either. then of course she brought up the Bible trying to say no one is supposed to be a virgin which through me in a rage. I first came out to her bc I wanted her support and at first she accepted it and was supportive, but lately she’s been making small comments about me having a boyfriend and that I should be sexually active which is horrible to say. what makes me very upset was that she said it was “unnatural” to be asexual. I’m not sure how to handle this so please help me!

The garlic bread memes make me feel erased as an asexual

The whole “yeah, sex is great but…” joke is everywhere. And it just reinforces the notion that asexual people don’t like sex. Which isn’t what asexuality is about. I understand that sex-indifferent and sex-repulsed ace folk are out there, and I love and support you guys, but I just feel pushed to the margins in ace communities, like I don’t fit in because I don’t have the same experience.

The fact is I just don’t like garlic bread more than I like sex. And it sounds silly to say but it feels like a weird thing around here.

Am I too young to identify as asexual?

I (18F) came out to my parents a few days ago and they told me I was too young to decide that and I shouldn’t tell people that. I guess asexuality might be different from other LGBT orientations since sex is supposedly a grown up topic and whatnot, idk. I’ve thought about it for a long time now though, and I just believe this is the best way to label myself and how I feel. Let me know what you think :)

I was watching asexual ticktoks and when I clicked on this playlist I noticed the number of likes😂

I came out to my wife and I feel terrible.

For reference, I'm 22 M and she is 22 F.

She is also a member of the LGBT community as bi.

And finally, sorry for any grammatical and or clerical errors as this was written on my phone.

So, I've noticed for a long time with my first sexual partner that sex felt very forced for me. Seemed not very interesting, but instead did it as that was what teenagers did. I remember being very much always thinking of other things or having a wandering mind while having sex. Not to say I wasn't interested, but because sex was? I don't know. Not interesting.

Fast forward a few years, I broke up with that partner. And I am now with my current partner (wife). We have a very healthy relationship, we communicate well, we don't yell at each other during arguments, and can set boundaries. However, she has a high sex drive. Which was never a problem for me, I still love her no matter what and she understood that I have a low sex drive. While we have been together, sex always seemed like a weird point. Because I have felt disconnected since I don't really care for it. Sure it feels nice, and is cool I guess? But for her, having that intimacy, and physical touch, or whatever the love language is is her thing.
Side note: our relationship is more than just sex to her. But when we have sex, wanting to have good sex, and sex that is connecting is important.

I watched the YouTube video of Anthony Padilla on: I spent a day with Asexuals. And it seemed to resonate with me. It made sense, but I didn't know what to make of it. I spent a few days really trying to rack my brain on what to do and my wife noticed something was really wrong. She was concerned I was going to ask for a divorce.

I sat her down and told her, I think I'm Ace and she took a moment and thought. She hugged me and said it is okay. Things haven't changed between us, and she doesn't view me any different. As I mentioned before, she is also Bi.

But now that I have a title to what I'm feeling, I feel relieved maybe that I know what is going on. But also, feel extreme feelings of guilt and shame that this is now apart of my identity with my wife. I do not know how to come to terms with it, and how to make myself feel better for it.

Any advice would be helpful. I just feel lost and drained.

Asexual because of abuse

I just realised the other day that I am only asexual because my mum sexually abused me for 3 years. That’s kinda depressing….

This is just a question

So, can asexuals think people are hot? Or can we not do that?? Like I don’t wanna f*ck them, but they’re hot, is that allowed?? I think that may be going against being asexual, but I may be wrong. Could someone help me please??
