So being Ace is being Straight?
Today, I wrote to a queer organization in the city I live. I always wanted to take part in their activities, but I never really see them sharing Ace content, compared to many other, so I asked them if they considered Asexuality to be in their demographic. (It wouldn’t be the first organization focusing on the first letters of the LGBTQ+).
According to them, since Asexuality is an umbrella term and that heterosexuals can be included in that term, Asexuality is not part of the Queer community.
I don’t know how to feel about that.
Edit: they also ended the conversation by saying that I was still welcome in the activities as an ally.

When and how did you learn and realise you were aromantic?
Just curious enough to hear from other people.

Out of curiosity: how many aces here still get horny sometimes?
It happens to me once a month or less, but when it does, I feel imposter syndrome about being ace. At the same time, I am single and thriving and don’t at all feel like I am missing anything in my life. I’ve known I am ace for years now, although I do think the gradient varies over time. Just curious if others experience horniness too, and if you have any practices around it

How did your partner react to you coming out?
I've been in a realsinsip, and I've been wondering if I'm asexaul for awhile, I finally got up the courage to tell my partner who I've been with for a couple months and she's had mixed reactions. Has anyone eles came out mid relationship that they're asexaul? If so, how did your partner react?

You can be ace and heterosexual
There's some casual aphobia going on in another post. 🤨
• "Gray ace" is a term for individuals who identify as asexual, but who experience a low level of sexual attraction or attraction only in certain situations.
• ex: Demisexual.
• Demisexual only refers to how you experience sexual attraction, not to who.
• Demisexuals can be hetero, gay, lesbian, bi, pan, etc.
• ex: biromantic heterosexual demisexual (some might shorten it as demi-hetero or hetero-demisexual etc)
• Romantically interested in multiple genders. Sexually interested in the opposite gender. No sexual attraction until a connection is formed.
Demisexuals aren't heteroROMANTIC when they EXPERIENCE SOME SEXUAL ATTRACTION and are on the ASEXUAL spectrum. They may fall somewhere else on the ROMANTIC spectrum. There's literally a word for that. 💀
Straight demis are welcome here incase you all forgot. Go consult google if you don't remember the definition of asexual being "LITTLE TO no" sexual attraction. Just because y'all don't like something doesn't make it true.

Advice Dating Asexual
Dating an Asexual Advice
Hey, new to all this :)
Have some questions surrounding how to best approach dating a ace as an allo, cis male.
1) How are some ways you personally take care of your sex drive, when your partner typically isn't open to it, and can sometimes be repulsed by sex? My drive is not high, but it's still a regular urge, y'know? Any ideas for solo remedy, or even other non-solo remedies?
2) What are some ways to keep non sexual intimacy and attraction up? She has no idea, as it's a first relationship sorta doesn't know, so ideas welcome!
3) How can I better educate myself of how she feels as an ace person, and get helpful advice or access information? It would be REALLY handy for people doing this for a first time. We've talked about it before, and not even she knows (I guess she hasn't been open online about it, or found anything online?)
Really want to be the best partner I(21M) can to my girlfriend (23F). We have been together only 2 years, but she is an absolute gem, and I love her dearly. She does suffer from depression, and other things due to chronic illness, which is a contributing factor. We have great chemistry and communication, so I'm optimistic we can make it work!
(I really don't mean to upset anyone, I know some think aces shouldn't date non aces, please be kind, I just want to make her happy)

Asexsual, do you tell people this?
Hi, After years of feeling bad I finally realized that I am not alone in this ❤️🩹
But I don't dare say it and I don't know if it's something like coming out of the closet when I'm asexual...
I'm so scared to get into a relationship because of this because I really don't want to be forced into things I don't want again. but I don't want to end up alone, I just want someone who loves who I am.
What have you done? and do you tell people or not? I've been keeping it to myself for so long.
If there is anyone around 18-25 years old who is going through the same thing and wants to talk? I have tried through different sites but I can't get in touch with someone... it would really help me to be able to talk to someone about it :( Thanks for reading and have a nice day ❤️
