I hate being asexual
I found out I was ace when I was 16, it took me so long because I was in huge denial. Since then, I absolutely hate this side of me.
I wish so damn bad I was allo, not only because of me and the need to feel anything. But also because it's always a problem in every relationship I have.
I'm currently dating an amazing dude, he doesn't mind and always respected my asexuality, I love him so much for it. But I can see that deep down, he does mind. All his attempts to make me feel something fails, he tries to hide but I know he does feel bad about it.
I also feel like him missing out on the teenager experience (I'm 18) because of my asexuality. Everyone is doing the deed or talking about it, and I just feel so left out because I don't relate at all...
Anyways, just venting

An artist I like posted on IG some cute pride doodles and included asexuality (among many other orientations). It made me so happy!

People using our flag and invalidating demisexuals... Ignoring the gray strip and pretending It doesn't exist... I'm tired

Reasons you like being ace
A lot of times aces feel like we are missing out on love, me included. So I just wanted to list a few reasons why I enjoy being ace and would like for you to add your reasons in the comments:
1. Don't care about shaving. I don't lose time, money or energy on it.
2. I have a slight germaphobia so I love that I can just stay away from people.
3. Don't have to play mind games to see if someone likes me.
4. I can see relationships much clearer than my friends and I know when they are being used by guys.

How did you know you were asexual?
I know that I like women like I know that much for sure but, when my friends start talking about sex and stuff like that I feel grossed out by it and I know that I never want that.
I can imagine fake scenarios in my head with fictional characters but when it comes to real life I can’t fathom it. I know I don’t mind a kiss because me and my friends have kissed before.
Please let me know because I am in internal confusion about it.

Laughing at myself
I just realized I’ve been questioning myself for the longest time, when the answer was stupidly clear.
A few years ago, I tried dating a guy. It was my last year in college, I had always been single, and it seemed like the perfect time to try something new.
Every. Single. Time. He touched me, I felt absolutely nothing.
My friend couldn’t believe I didn’t get aroused when someone, especially a really handsome and kind guy, kissed my neck, touched my thighs, or anything like that.
She even asked me jokingly, “Would you honestly rather kiss him or eat a yogurt?”
And listen, I always thought this guy was cute, but damn. I’ll let you guys guess the answer.
I even asked myself, “Am I a lesbian?” when I knew I’ve literally never had any desire to touch a girl that way.
I lost my v-card trying to figure out if I could feel anything at all, and honestly, the guy was the sweetest, kindest person ever. He really took care of me, and it wasn’t a bad experience at all.
We can call it a once-in-a-lifetime experience—as in, I’m not doing that again.
When we finished, he looked at me, laughed, and said “Are you dissociating right now?”
And fuck, he was right. I knew right then that I just wasn’t made for that. (I'd give him a 10 for reading people, but maybe I was just being too obvious)
Even later, I still tried to convince myself that it was because I wasn’t in love, or that maybe the chemistry just wasn’t there, and people couldn't believe I wasn't head over heels for him, which I wanted desperately to happen.
It’s kind of funny to me now. Even though I still get frustrated when people don’t believe me when I say I’m asexual, it just makes sense.
The answer was always there—I had considered it multiple times throughout my life.
I just couldn’t accept it.
Now that I do, it all clicks. And honestly, it’s kind of funny to look back on moments like that.
Was anyone else this blind? I’d love to hear your stories.
