Feeling sex repulsed is nothing to be ashamed about
It is fine to seek spaces void of sex, it's fine to inherently be disgusted by the thought of it, you are not in the wrong for feeling like you don't want that around you. You are very valid, and I hate the implication that sex repulsed people need therapy. If that's who you are then that's who you are, who cares? As long as you're not trying to shame people for having sex, then its not really their right to try to shame you, and you're allowed to feel uncomfortable when people non-consensually bring you in on the topic.
Hope this helps someone today ✨

How do I convince my mom that asexual people don't have a hormone problem?
I'm not asexual, so I'm sorry if this post is not allowed or if I have any misunderstandings of how asexuality works. If I do, I'd appreciate if you'd clear them up for me.
My mom thinks people should wait until marriage to have sex and I think they should only do that if they actually want to. I pointed out that you don't know if you're sexually compatible with the person until you have sex with them and if you wait until you get married you either have to have not as good of sex, a dead bedroom, or divorce, which is a bigger process than breaking up.
She said (paraphrasing), "if you're a man and they're a woman everything will be fine because you have the right parts." I asked what if the person is asexual and doesn't know it because they've never had sex before? She said, "they should see a doctor because something is wrong." How do I convince her that asexuality is not a disease (like she is implying)?

Sex is cool, but have you started drawing enough to be able to draw whatever you want.

Does anyone else not want sex or children?
I’m someone who doesn’t want to have sex or children. I know this isn’t a common choice in many cultures, and sometimes it feels really isolating because society expects marriage, sex, and kids.
I’m curious how many people here feel the same way and how you handle these expectations, especially around relationships or family.
Also, if you’ve had to talk about this with family or partners, how did you do it? Any advice or stories would mean a lot.

Worst/Funniest thing ever said to you?
I've had people tell me "you'll get over it" or "it's just a phase." Does anyone have any crazier encounters they've had with people? Please post them I'm interested.

Is this being Ace flux?
Hey everyone I’m just wondering if this would be ace flux or not. I fluctuate between grey asexuality and then asexuality but I’ve read that being ace flux is like allo, grey and then asexual like that’s one of the definitions I’ve found.
But I’m never allo only grey ace and then sometimes asexual.

Tips for those who get uncomfortable when the topic of sex comes up
19 y/o male here. First I want to say that if you’ve felt this way before, that is, you get uncomfortable or feel resentment toward allosexual people: you are not alone. I felt this way strongly at first but it subsided after a while. I want to share three ways I learned to get over it:
1. Maintain a support system: this can look like a friend group, online support forum, or even friends that understand or relate to you. You can vent to them and if they understand it can make you feel less alone.
2. Embrace your sexuality: instead of running from it, which is what I did for a while, you can embrace it. People told me constantly “you’ll get over it” or “you’ll find someone someday” and hearing these only made me more confused. I had to learn that it’ll take time for people to understand but I need to stand my ground and find certainty. Doing this helped me navigate my feelings more and now I feel more confident in myself.
3. Realize it doesn’t matter. Allosexual people will do what they are biologically programmed to do: have sex. That doesn’t mean we have any obligation to. I’ve often had people tell me that “it’s in our nature, you can’t just not have sex” and that is a primitive way of thinking. People are biologically programmed to kill others for resources, too, but we evolved. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter so don’t apologize for being you. Once you stop loving for others and realize sex doesn’t matter, and is just a natural part of life’s cycle, it gets easier.
In time, you will find it does get easier. These three things may or may not apply to you, but they applied to me. Hope this helps and stay healthy guys <3

Song I wrote about my asexuality
Hey so I wrote/composed this song about my asexuality, and I was in a very dark place when I made it. I wanted to share it here because I know the lyrics might resonate with some of you as well. If you have the chance to check it out, here's the link:
