People need to stop confusing asexuality and aromantic
I'm a omniromantic/androromantic grey-asexual.
I keep seeing posts of people asking about what's the best thing about being asexual ways that they're asexual, and saying that they are happy being asexual because they don't need to have heartbreak, crushes, relationships and dating but that's not true. That's being aromantic. You can have all that stuff when you're asexual. It makes me hopeless to find a relationship when i'm asexual and sex-repulsed as well.
When you say things like that, you forget that there's people that are romantic and ace, and you diminish and stereotype as everyone who is ace is also aro. I'm part of this community even if i'm the most hopeless romantic there is.
Say in the comment that you're aro or go on the aromantic reddit if you don't want to date.

Am I asexual?
I like kissing and hugging, but sex doesn’t feel right for me.

This is how I personally feel as an ace/aro person, aware that not everyone will feel the same way

My Therapist Said I (33F) Am Not Asexual
I told my therapist that I might be asexual. She knows I don't have sex, so she asked if I masturbated. I said yes but only for the pleasure not because I desire sex. Then she asked if I reach orgasm. I said yes. Then she said, "That means you're not asexual." I wonder if she's right. I was so happy identifying as Ace because I can relate to Aces more than both straight people and the LGBT community.
If I'm not asexual, I definitely have a much lower libido than the average person my age. I have never been sexually abused so I don't think it's trauma. I've felt this way since puberty so medications or a hormonal imbalance is not the reason either.
I was relieved when I thought I was ace because I thought it would be a good explanation for why I'm always single. I thought that I could now go on dates with other Aces and not have to worry that an Allo might get impatient with me.
I know that asexuals have their own challenges but I was relieved because I know I'd get a better reaction coming out as ace than bi. I don't want to appropriate asexuality if it turns out I'm not ace though.
I was so excited about the ace identity that I even bought a bunch of black rings on Amazon. I wanted to at least talk to other people who find romance and sex as boring as I do. I've always found romantic plots in movies, books, and songs boring as hell and if I did like them it was for a reason other than romance. I expressed this to my therapist but she shrugged it off.
I thought being asexual explained a lot about myself but what if I'm not?

Just poking some harmless fun at this community's occasional "inner turmoil" regarding representation and stereotyping
