Possibly came out in conversation to family
Hello everyone.
I was helping my aunt with the Thanksgiving cooking when the conversation happened. She was telling me about a possible...suitor, I guess, or man I would be interested in meeting with. She was telling me about his looks, which I told her that it didn't matter what he looked like and looks weren't really important to me, nor his weight which was to her was very heavyset. To be fair though, I did have a type of man that always seemed to catch my eye: They were always slim men with long black hair. To me those men were always pretty to look at.
But my ex boyfriend was heavy and had black hair, so my type was a bit off.
Then she went on to say that if a sexual relationship were to develop between us, I asked her.
"I don't want to have sex in a relationship. Does that make me weird?".
She looked surprised and replied that it didn't.
I was relived. Happy, even. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
So, I didn't come "out", but to me, it's close enough.

Wew, my ace bingo! Probably not the typical boxes, though. XD

(I apologise for the low quality) I couldn’t figure out how to make the aego flag how I wanted, so I did this instead, I think it’s pretty :)

Anyone else have this ace experience growing up?
When I was 10-12, we had our first lesson in sex ed in school. I remember really struggling to try to reconcile that people had genitals under their clothes. Like, objectively I always knew they did, but I still couldn't imagine that. Now I'm 24 and I STILL can't imagine anyone has genitals. And when I remember that fact, I get just a wee bit uncomfortable.
Maybe that's just not viewing people as sexual objects, or maybe it's an ace experience. I'm not sure exactly. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

What's y'all's personality types?
I just wanna know if there's a trend in the Ace community.
