How do you define intimacy?

I was talking to my therapist about how I feel like I’ve had a lack of intimate relationships in the past. Then, she asked me if I had ever had sex before.

I had no idea how that was relevant, and I found the question quite inappropriate in the moment. Is it just an allo thing to think of intimacy as just sex? When I think of intimacy, I think of all the deep, vulnerable conversations I’ve had with other people. I think it’s about letting your guard down, which I guess to some people means sex? I don’t know what do you think?

Edit: Also, do you think intimacy only applies to people in romantic relationships, or can friends be intimate too?

sex indifferent?? something else?

i’m F and used to consider myself sex repulsed but now it’s indifference. i’ve never had sex before, i think mainly of insecurity reasons. i also can’t picture myself having sex, it freaks me out. but i read and watch a lot of smutty things mainly i would read smut manga and manhwa. even though they’re just fictional characters, idk why i’m drawn to it lol. same thing if i were to watch porn, i mainly watch hentai which i feel disgusted to admit. idk if some of you have felt the same. i feel like a freak who only gets off to animated characters

Can you be bisexual and asexual?

I’m new to realizing I’m asexual. I always felt feelings for both men and women, never sexual though. Sex repulses me. I’m sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I just don’t want to offend anyone by saying I’m bisexual and asexual if it doesn’t make sense.

“If you engage in intimacy, sex is usually expected.”

Just wanted to share the INCREDIBLY incorrect statement my godmom made about the concept of intimacy in reference to my asexuality. She’s so weird about it in general so I usually avoid the topic but she asked if I “still didn’t want to be intimate with anybody”. But you can be intimate with someone without having sex with them right???

An ace can look like this, too! Even ace couples can have a baby if they want one.

The problem with the rings is that there's a lot of valid reasons to wear a black ring on your middle finger. This 'acelet should probably make mine's meaning a bit more obvious. It's not great, but for the first braided bracelet I've made in nearly 20 years, I don't completely hate it haha.
