Bad response from my roommate to coming out
I’m in college now. I told my dorm roommate that I’m ace bc we r close and I thought she would want to know more about me. Her response was just saying kinda harshly “I don’t give a fk.” I know she meant to just act like sexuality doesn’t matter and everyone can be who they r without telling everyone, but it kinda hurt. She made it worse when she later said that I probably only think I’m ace bc of past trauma(which is a completely valid reason to be ace) but even so, I told her that I’ve been like this my whole life. She just brushed it off. I like her but now I just never wanna talk about being ace ever again.

‘No sex’-inclusive sex ed
So for uni we have do do an online induction and there’s a mandatory module on consent (in sex and relationships)
I just thought I’d share a positive and inclusive experience,
“sex isn’t for everyone, but everyone can benefit from learning about consent” was the opening line, and throughout the module they were inclusive of both non-heterosexual relationships, and relationships without sex. It was refreshing and so different from the sex Ed I received in school that started with “you’re all going to have sex at some point” which, granted, is better than abstinence-only eduction, but made me feel even more alienated as a young sex-averse teenager.
I think consent and boundaries is an especially important topic for asexuals as I have personally struggled with setting boundaries (that are much more ‘strict’ than most) and having my reluctance to do things not taken seriously, and I’ve heard of many others in the community with similar experiences.

it happened yesterday
i went to a party and met a lot of new people, two boys wanted to make out with me, since i'm not disgusted with kisses we did make out, even one of them ended in my bed (he's next to me as i'm typing this). the thing is, both of them understood the fact that i'm ace and never tried anything they thought would make me unconfy, even the one next to me, after we made out he asked to stay at my place just to sleep and respected the fact that i don't wanna be touched, made me feel really good and valid
