Asexuality or childish?
It's weird being me because I deep within feel pretty childish.
It feels like you're stuck in that part of your life when you still have the child-like manner of not having sexual attraction to anyone, because you most likely don't have that attraction as a child, and now you're stuck in that child-like period.
Let's see if I can clarify this further.
When you're a child, before puberty, you have all these child-hood crushes and you're playing House with your friends and you find people your age aesthetically attractive. But you don't have sexual attaction because you're too young to have those feelings.
And then puberty strikes, you got pimples and everyone is horny all the time because of hormones and everyone wants to have sex, except YOU.
You maybe want sex, but nobody has ever drawn to you, unless they're really pretty aesthetically.
And it feels like you're stuck in this mind-set of a child who doesn't want sex or don't feel that kind of attraction, and now you're just horny. Or not. I'm not.
Am I the only one to feel this way? To feel you have gone one step forward with other things but with this gone three steps back?
And is that a sign of asexuality or am I just slow with those things?

What age would you say is no longer considered "childish" and the person might be ace
Like, if a 10 year old were to ask if they were ace then I'd say just wait because they're 10, where as someone with 18 then it's not just them being "childish", in your opinion where is that like drawn? Imo it's around 13
If this comes off as me asking if I'm ace ik I am this is just for discussion

Out of all the things people often say/believe about asexuality, which one do you hate the most?
My personal pick would be "Asexual men are just homosexuals in denial/Asexual women are just straight".

Aphobia coming from other members of the LGBT+ community hurts a bit more
You know what it's like to have your existence feel invalidated, you know what it feels like to not be "normal"...
And yet, even with all that, you still decide to take it out on others.
Why?

Labels are not permanent, you can change them!
Had an interesting conversation with my friend because they felt bad about discovering that the label that they were using was no longer accurate.
Little reminder to all my fellow cake lovers and allies who prefer using labels: The label you are using can be changed. You do not have to be stuck with the same label for the rest of your life. What you identify as can change. You are not faking if you find out that a certain label does not fit you.
Yes, there is a chance that you might identify with the same label that you discovered back in middle school for the rest of your life. But there is also a chance that you might find out something new about yourself. That the box you are using doesn’t work for you anymore. That is okay. That is perfectly fine.
And it can happen at anytime in your life too. You will never be too young or too old to discover new things about yourself. Be free.

Apparently all of us that identify as ace but are sex indifferent or sex favorable or high libido with no repulsion are just repressed 🤷🏽♀️
“It's not gatekeeping to point out you can't identify as experiencing sexual attraction and identify as experiencing no sexual attraction at at he same time.
You don't feel broken because the word asexual doesn't apply to you. You feel broken because society demonizes and requires sexual activity at the same time. Society makes EVERYTHING you do and feel about sex a catch 22. Brokenness is ace specific.
And being repressed into thinking "I love and want to have sex with this person but this isn't ATTRACTION" is a response to that culture. But not a healthy or empowered one. It's avoidance.”
Because I tried explaining that I like having sex with my partner even though I’m not sexually attracted to him because I derive emotional fulfillment and connection as opposed to trying to fulfill a sexual need.

What country (or if you're in the US which state) are y'all from?
I just wanna know where some of you, my online Ace family, are from? I imagine we have alot of folks here from all around the globe. I'm from South Africa :). And you guys?
Edit: I asked which state you are from in the US because whenever i see questions like this asked (What country are you... questions), I see Americans specify the state they're from. I imagine this is because US states might as well be countries within a country because of how well known and distinct they are.
