Rejected for the first time because of my asexuality... (So I got a new piercing to feel better.)
I've never dated much, now I understand why after discovering my asexuality throughout last year. My psychiatrist thinks I should start dating (I'm 30), so I've been trying to meet people on Hinge. I've been talking to this guy for over a month when I tell him I'm asexual and also not interested in sex. I told him I'd likely be willing to let my allo partner seek sexual relationships outside of ours. He flat out rejected me and then said "glad we avoided that mess!" which is what really hurt. It was upsetting, not because I was really into this person but because I'm convinced this will happen and again. Aces in a relationship with allos, how is it going? When did you tell your partner about your sexuality? I need some encouragement!

Asexuality humor is (mostly) stuck in 2014
I'm sorry, I said it. Just about every day, it's the same memes, same jokes, same random crossposts from other subs or sites about sex or the lack thereof with a new title along the lines of "nOt ME!!" I see the same posts from my early high school days, and I'm almost done with college. These screenshots have passed through so many phones, they're beyond stale — they're moldy. You could have told me this is sub was a wormhole connecting to 2014 and I'd believe you
I love y'all, I really do. Just please, dear god, can we join the 20s like everyone else?

The phobia is real
The idea that only sex (and intimate touching) equals true love is like saying lesbians just haven't met the right guy. It's ace phobic and ignorant, and dismissive of our very existence. I have come to the realization, through much painful trial and error, that I was born this way as much as anyone was born gay or bi or straight or pan or, yes, ace. Why is it so impossible to believe that I can have romantic feelings but be sex repulsed? Isn't there a kinsey spectrum? Oh wait, no room for us there. No room in lgbtq+. No acceptance that you can be fulfilled with platonic love and GASP no sex!!!!! Even the "acts of service" vs. "physical touch" was shat upon by an Ace phobe. Just so glad all you real Aces exist and are here and understand the scheisse we gotta deal with. 🖤🤍💜
