Popular boktok is so hard to enjoy when you're ace

I'm a reader and always looking for new books to pick up. Recently, I decided to give booktok a chance again after I've deleted the app a couple of months ago because I had found a lot of to-be-read stories. Most of it was Stephen King, but now I feel like I want to step back from all the horror and thrillers and try out something new. So, I visited booktok again, as well as booktok-videos on YouTube, and, oh boy, it has gotten worse. Since when is it so difficult to find some nice stories that are not all about toxic relationships, SA, stockholm syndrome, or other messed-up behaviour? To me, it seems like that many young authors are jumping on the hype-train and write spicy stuff, knowing it will sell anyways, without creating a decent story to begin with. It feels like the same in every hyped YA-book: girl meets boy, boy has toxic traits, she stays (despite the harmful things that happen, but alright, you do you), and then they do the nastiest things known to mankind, lol. I'm talking Hunting Adeline, the Twisted Series, Captive in the Dark, or Ice Breaker, you get the deal. It's so flat that the majority of those popular books on tiktok are just porn. Seriously, it is so damn hard to find "an actual gem" in review videos anymore.

Hubby is too over demanding about s6x for my liking

I am gay grey ace married to an allo. We last had 6 about 2-3 weeks ago (I don’t keep track). He’s been hounding me for 6 all week. Today he said we needed it “to connect.” I asked him “why do we need to have 6 to connect?” Then he said he didn’t want to have that conversation. Well. I don’t enjoy being hounded about 6 every day - it actually has the opposite effect!!! Oh and he also insists that I need to see a therapist to figure out what’s wrong with me. He knew I was ace before we started dating and these types of comments from just always seem so disrespectful and they are always hurtful. So if there will be therapy he is coming with me.

Throw out the best asexual jokes you know.

I'll start. I'm a gray asexual, because I like gray.

A aesthetic/aesthetic repulsed

I saw no one posting so I was wondering anyone is on an aesthetic spec/aesthetic repulsed? I don’t think anyone coined the latter but seeing real person’s face gross me out a bit. I think there’s autism related stuff.

For people such as us, what do you consider “intimate”?

For example: Hand Holding

How do I know?

How do I know if I’m really asexual and not just someone who hasn’t found the right person yet?

A friend wants to date me – feeling disturbed

I feel so unsettled. A couple of weeks ago, my friend admitted that he has a crush on me. He is very much aware that I'm on the aromantic-asexual spectrum, and we’ve had lots of open conversations about what that means. Personally, I am open to being in a relationship that resembles a "traditional romantic relationship" one day, given that my partner accepts who I am. After admitting his crush, I believed we were able to talk things through and continue as normal.

However, after hanging out with our mutual friends today, he told me that although there are some things in my identity that he doesn't fully understand, he'd be willing to try being in a relationship with me. He's an amazing person, and I would walk through fire for him, but I would not try being in a relationship with him.

For context, I broke up a year ago with a person who had a huge issue with me being aroace. That relationship left me deeply scarred, and I'm still healing from it. I'm currently also fighting severe treatment-resistant mental health issues that consume all my energy.

What my friend said just completely threw me off balance. I'm so confused and exhausted that I honestly don't know what I should do or how I should act. He knows about my health problems, and I referred to them when I told him that I'm not up for anything. I know attraction is natural, but knowing about his feelings makes me feel extremely disturbed, and I fear what he thinks or how he perceives me nowadays.

How should I handle this situation? How can we move on and keep being friends?
