Ace people, is there any anime which you can't watch because you're so repulsed by it?

I like watching anime from time to time... but there's several anime that I cannot watch because I think they're too vulgar; as a sex-repulsed asexual guy, I can't even think about anything relating to 'the act' without feeling sick.

I tend to stay away from ecchi most of the time, but I love watching romance anime... my first ever anime was Toradora! -I guess it left an impression.

I've been wondering... what animes couldn't you finish, or finished but hated it, because of how repulsed you were by it? -or, are there any anime that you won't watch because you know you won't like it?
(I'm not talking about anime which is practically hentai... e.g. Highschool DxD, or Prison School 'whatever-it's-called', I'm talking about regular anime that just gave you the ick)

For me, there are two animes that spring to mind. Ones that I couldn't finish because of how disgusted I was...
1) No Game No Life (as much as I think I'd enjoy it, I can't get past the pervy scenes... the tipping point was the wing massage scene. Never again.)
2) Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (sex scenes in the first episode, and then the main protagonist watches someone >!masturbate!< in the hallway... I'm not even going to dignify that with a re-watch)





imma go watch Toradora again

Does anyone else not care about conversations where sex is mentioned?

I won't even lie, it doesn't bother me. I even actively participate, and crack jokes. At most if people tried to argue about my sexuality I just roll with an, "okay whatever you say bro👍." And continue on with my day. It doesn't even make me uncomfortable.

Usually when they try to, I double down and make them uncomfortable lol.

Saying sex is bad, especially gay sex, is not a progressive take

Speaking as an ace person myself. I am not talking about sex-repulsed people, I'm referring to how every single time I see a post online related to sex, there's a comment about how gross and bad it is with someone saying they're ace. My thing is, just scroll. I've even seen people say it's immoral. It's mildly irritating in general but it actually upsets me when it's a post about LGBT sex. Calling gay sex gross is not a progressive or good take. It's actively harmful, especially right now when sex positivity and education are under attack. I think some of us forget because we hear a lot about queer sexuality within the LGBTQIA community but outside of it, gay sex is not a celebrated thing. I understand the feeling of having sex forced on you everywhere but the sex positive posts about people's experiences are not the problem to be addressed.

sexual orientation check boxes

I was at the doctor's office recently and the staff asked if I wished to disclose my sexual orientation when filling out paperwork. I said sure. I'm biromantic asexual. (Technically, I'm demi, but I figured complete asexuality would be better known) She asked me what it meant. I told her it means I don't feel sexual attraction but am interested in dating people of whatever gender. She was like "So... bisexual?" I think I just shrugged and said "sure". It's probably a check box question, and they just don't have one for ace-spec people. Does anyone else feel mildly annoyed by this sort of experience?

“I think I’m asexual” “No you’re not!”

I’m attracted to men (I’m a lady), but when it comes to the idea of sex, I’m perfectly fine not participating in it. When I’ve had sex with men in the past, it felt more like a performance or chore. Maybe part of it also comes from sexual trauma from my past, but for the most part, I rarely have sexual thoughts or desires. If I don’t have sex ever again, I’m perfectly fine with that.

When I’ve expressed to my friends that I think I’m asexual, they always hit me with the “no, you’re not asexual!” I feel like I need to defend why I believe I’m asexual and they pin it on the idea that I just haven’t met the right person yet. They have this black and white mindset; as if because I’ve had sex in the past, then it proves that I can’t be asexual.

You do not have to settle. You do not have to have sex. You do not have to be poly.

There's this idea my partner and I see a lot in asexual circles online that you can date allosexuals, but only if you're okay with having sex sometimes, or only if you're okay entering a poly relationship. This is absolutely NOT true.

I am allosexual. My partner is asexual. We will never have sex, and I am okay with that. More than okay, in fact, because I know it's what my partner wants. We are also not polyamourous (nothing but love to my poly peeps but it's just not what either of us want). If you don't want sex, you do not need to have sex! If you're monogamous, you do not need to be in a poly relationship!

I don't feel unfulfilled, I don't feel repressed, and the absolute LAST thing I'd want is for my partner to have said yes to having sex with me just because they were worried about upsetting me.

You can find people who will accept you as you are and love you as you are, including in partnerships. Anyone who tells you that you should compromise on sex or tries to pressure you into a poly relationship you don't want is not someone worth your time.

Am I a bad girlfriend?

I’m asexual (20) my boyfriend (22) there’s so much to unpack let’s start off with I used to be a sexual person (it bothers him) we’ve been together a year started off great wasn’t to worried as months past he pushed me to be more sexual with him would try but either lose interest or just no interest during it just not passionate for him. He has mentioned he has a porn addiction multiple times (I’ve tried helping without using sex which isn’t good enough and have told him maybe a therapist can help) and I think he uses it as a excuse to try and get more cause he doesn’t accept no and when he does he gets the same overly sad tone and will turn away from me. I’ve told him I’m not a sexual person I’ve told him no. He will text me or tell me the passive aggressive stuff such as “I will live with the pain of blue balls then” “you not having sex with me doesn’t help my depression” if I try to explain my opinion Its considered says I’m trying to argue and shuts down the conversation there’s so much more but overall I just feel like a shitty girlfriend for being this way and I’ve told him that it was completely disregarded (edit: we live together and I lost my job when I moved in with him so not easy to leave him niether)
