sex is disgusting

Any time I read about sex or get shown sexual content or have sex in real life I feel disgusting and ashamed

My bestfriend basically told me I’m out of luck with dating as ace.

I’ve recently got back into looking for a relationship of some sort after straying from it for a couple of years to figure out my sexuality. Now that I’m comfortable, I’ve been looking and whatnot, because I still really would love a romantic connection. I was on the fence about telling my bestfriend because he’s often got opinions I disagree with and this felt like I would possibly be in that group.

Anyways, I was discussing this with him, overall just complaining about the lack of lgbt+ community we have in our area, and he said because I mostly like masc women, that I’ve cut out 90% of the market because I’m Ace.

I’ve always been a little self conscious about not being interested in sex, not feeling good about it because of how judgmental some people will be. And now that I’m comfortable being out about it, his statement is really upsetting me and I just don’t feel good now. Like maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up and just remain lonely?

Asexuality from Trauma

I will cut to the chase - I was raped at 19 and have been completely asexual since that. I struggle a lot with feeling like I am devaluing the label of asexuality because some people I’ve talked to say I don’t fit in here at all, because I’m “choosing” this lifestyle. Is it inappropriate for me to be in this space if something that happened to me made me feel asexual, rather than it being my initial innate orientation? This is a genuine question, not meant to be ignorant, just want to gain an understanding.

A rant about dating apps as a sex-averse woman

I am not truly an asexual, but a sex-averse heterosexual woman. Regardless, I'm still effectively only interested in finding non-sexual relationships and in that sense relate to the asexual community.

All the big 3 dating apps, Tinder, Hinge and Bumble, have added an option to choose your sexual orientation. Great addition, I thought, and chose "asexual", albeit technically inaccurate, it best describes what I'm looking for.

Except that in practise, from a sex-repulsed/asexual perspective, this feature is literally useless. It doesn't seem to, in any way, make the algorithm show you profiles that match that orientation. On top of that, you cannot even manually add a PAID orientation filter - but god forbid you want to filter out other relevant stuff like Covid vaccination status, sleeping habits, ZODIAC SIGNS - we got you!

Today, I got desperate, and signed up for an OKcupid account, which is not a super popular app, but sadly the only one known to have orientation filters... And then I realized that the free plan only lets you add a "preference", which does next to nothing. To effectively use the filter, you need to sign up for a 20 dollar monthly plan. Which I did, only to see around 50 profiles after which it told me I've run out of options, within 500 MILES. And I live in a big city.

I just don't get it. Why can't the big 3 apps get this simple thing done? I bet so many sex-averse ppl and aces would literally sign up for Tinder Gold or some shit just to be able to use the filter.

Lastly, I've heard good things about an app called HER, but that's sadly not suitable for straight women.
