Tips for getting parents to accept my asexuality?

So for context I am a 19 year old male and my parents hate that I am open about my asexuality. I’ve gotten in a few verbal fights but nothing serious. Anyone have any tips for how to make them accept it sooner? It’s starting to get annoying because they’ll intentionally say that I “need to have sex” even though I’ve made it very clear that I don’t need to, let alone want to.

For Aces Who Have Trauma What Helps?

Trigger Warning: Trauma and SA and Sex Mention. Please skip this post if it makes you uncomfortable.

I am on the ace spectrum and sadly due to Trauma from SA and abusive relationships experience Hypersexuality despite being Ace. Sometimes it makes me feel less valid as an ace person even though I know that's not true at all and I barely experience physical, sexual, or romantic attraction unless I'm in love with the person and even then it takes a very long time to feel anything (if I do at all). Its just hard. It sucks tbh.

Sometimes I end up doing impulsive stuff cause of it. Or it ends up upsetting me a lot. For anyone who can relate, what have you found helps? What do you do to ease the discomfort or stress or what have you found distracts you?

Therapist just casually assumed I have a problem

I saw a psychiatrist for panic attacks and started medication and then she also referred me to a therapist to start therapy. I've experienced aphobia in the past so I kind of saw it coming. I told the therapist I am asexual and I don't care about sex and she asked what is wrong to make me feel this way, if I have a hormonal imbalance or trauma and that "it's not normal for a young man to be like this" (also kind of transphobic because I'm AMAB and just started my transition). What is wrong with people?? Why are they so obsessed with sex and think that we all need to be obsessed with it too, otherwise we're mentally ill??

Am I too old for this site?

I'm 65 and I think I'm asexual. I really congratulate the young generation for bringing all the different types of sexuality into the open and making it all ok. I am imagining that I'm much older than most people here? Maybe cos older people don't use this media so much? How old are you all, if you don't mind me asking?

You know when you just…question your whole sexuality?



Bro i am having this every single day and its driving me nuts…( OCD related )

Like, idk how to explain it. First i accept my sexuality, and the next my brain will come up with new ideas on how i might be sexually repressed bc i accidentally looked at someone.

Like, i can find someone pretty then BOOM, my brain is commanding me to Check if my body reacted in a sexual way….and if it does it means i am repressing my sexuality by somehow pretending that i don’t like sex ( i am sex-repulsed ) or that Idk what sexual attraction is yayyy ( i get groinal responce. Which makes it Even worse bc anytime when i do, my brain would make up an idea on how i am denying my sexual desires by pretending it was groinal responce…THANK YOU…THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL INFORMATION…. Now i will be ruminating on this for the past two days )

Bro wtf is wrong with me?

I didnt even get to tell that to my therapist bc was so scared that she would tell me things like ‘’ your thoughts are right bc you don’t like sex and you are repressing sexual desires ‘’

…she would never say that btw, its just something that my brain makes up if i ever tell her whats going on…


The worst part is that anytime i say that to ppl they convince that there is something wrong with me bc i don’t like sexual thought…I AM SEX- REPULSED….

And why? IDK, IM JUST LIKE THIS MAN. NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE NAKED AND WANT TO TOUCH PPLS HOO HAS OR THIS WEIRD DANGLING MEAT THING ATTACHED TO THEM…

Like…be quited..That is what INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS MEAN. ITS THOUGHTS THAT YOU DONT’ WANT.

And then they tell me that its not bc it isnt violent thought….WHY…WHY DO PPL SAY THAT.

Like, just bc it isnt doesnt mean it isnt an intrusive thoughts. THEY SRE STILL NOT ENJOYABLE

Bc of what they say, i will go insane abt it and them get scared if i am actually repressing something. I would also get these stupid thoughts of ‘’ what if those aren’t intrusive thoughts? What if i enjoyed it and that i was pretending to hate them’’
These ‘’ what if ‘’ thoughts are so stressful to the point that i cry.

And OH, there is more. I literally use sexuality test. And it will ALWAYS GIVE ME THE SAME FRICKIN ASNWER. And i would make sure to use different ones bc different ones will give you different questions. And that i wouldn’t take a similar answer so that i won’t ’’ purposefully take an obvious answer ‘’


And BOOM, it still gives me the same answer..ace

Like…i am going insane on this to the point that i just call myself ‘’ allo in denial ‘’

Sooo yeah, there is my story on how i go insane abt it. No i don’t want reassurance, not confort. I just like to feel Heard thank you very much. And if you relate its ok if you can vent abt it too if you want.


Ty for listening!

Am I asexual?

Hi everyone, I'm still very new to understanding my own sexuality and I’ve recently started exploring the idea of asexuality. I’d really appreciate hearing from others here who might relate or have some perspective.

I’ve had a hard time feeling sexual attraction toward my past partners. It’s not that I find sex gross or repulsive — I just feel pretty indifferent or “meh” about it most of the time. However, there’s one specific fetish I have, and whenever a partner engages in it, I suddenly feel very sexually responsive — like I get a strong desire for sexual activity and even feel sexual attraction to them in that moment. That said, those feelings usually fade away until the fetish is brought up again.

I’m wondering if this still falls under the asexual spectrum, or if it might be something else like a different sexual orientation or a kink-related response. I know sexuality can be complex and personal, but I’d really appreciate any insights or similar experiences you’re willing to share.

Thanks in advance!

I cuddled naked with my tinder date and didn’t have sex with him

F26 B went to M26 W house after only 3 days of knowing him because I was lonely and wanted innocent cuddles when we was texting I told him I just wanted to cuddle and nothing more he agreed and gave me the address when I went over he seem excited to have me over he then said “no girl has ever came over his house and not have sex with him” so that gave me a great idea to prove him wrong .. we laid in his bed and cuddled I even took my panties off and he took his underwear off .. he rubbed up against me and had small freaky talk after 30 minutes of no sexual activity including kissing he made me leave at 2am in the morning mind you I live 40 minutes away from him and it’s super dark outside I then sent him a text the next day and let him know he was wrong for making me leave his house because I refused to have sex with him even though I told him in the beginning I didn’t wanted sex … and I never got a reply from him ! Was I wrong for not having sex with him ?
