I don't know how to tell this guy that I think I'm asexual - help please!
Reaching out to this community with my tale so I can gauge how to broach this. I recently had a bit of a breakthrough with my therapist and uncovered that I may be asexual. I don't really feel sexual attraction towards real people (fictional characters are the exclusion). I have no desire for sex with another person and am opposed to most physical touch in general. Now, I have been dating this guy for a couple months now and we've hugged and held hands but even that has felt really weird to me, like it's wrong for my body to be doing that. The other night after a date he wanted to kiss me but I managed to brush it off as I don't feel comfortable, but didn't know how to tell him. He kissed my cheek and I spent the whole drive home trying to get the feeling off my cheek, very upset. He keeps telling me that I'm beautiful and sexy and I feel really uncomfortable when he says those things. I don't know how to tell him that I think I am asexual and that I don't like the advances, however pure-intentioned they may be. I think he's a lovely and respectful guy, but I can't really see him being okay with me essentially saying "Don't touch me." HELP!

My friend just told me this and it’s too good not to share.
My friends boyfriend: “You know, I just can’t imagine me ever having sex. She’d just stare into someone’s eyes and that’s intimate enough for her.”
My friend: “You know she’s ace right?”
Boyfriend: “That actually makes so much sense.”
There’s no way he actually knows what asexuality is. He barely knows me. But he still managed to completely figure me out. I give off ~the vibes~ apparently.

Kissing
Had my first kiss at 18 a month ago. Felt nothing? Lol
No butterflies no elevated heart rate or nervousness, just a bit of disgust and maybe some guilt.
Well I can tick that off my list and safely say I won’t be doing it again

Dear Allos, stop asking me about my personal life.
Whenever I come out to lgbtq accepting people as lesbian, it's always just "Oh, congrats! Proud of you."
However, coming out as ace always results in a 2 hour interview as to how the hell I could possibly be asexual.
Look, I understand that asexuality isn't as talked about. And I understand curiosity. But they're strange investigations border more on close mindedness.
They probe me for answers about trauma, sexual history, etc, even when it's someone I don't even know well enough to even open up to about that. What a strange way to say you can't just accept my sexuality as it is. Do your research before psychoanalyzing me.

Bread and sex are the same to me.
This might sound a little weird, but hear me out:
Since I was young, I've never really liked bread. There were times when I was actually repulsed by the idea of eating bread and would go to great lengths to avoid it in my meals. But as I grew and started experiencing more types of bread, I realized that there were some I genuinely liked. Sometimes I even crave certain breads (breadsticks YUM). However, these cravings are never super strong or last very long. Once I have a breadstick or two I find myself feeling satisfied and can go months without wanting one again.
Fast forward to now. I am currently dating someone who doesn't eat bread (he has Celiacs and several other dietary restrictions). This does not bother me at all. We have never eaten bread together, but I am satisfied by the other food we do eat and trying out unique recipes has become an important part of our relationship. I am completely fine with the idea of us never eating bread together. At the same time, I know my partner likes bread and use to eat it before being diagnosed. He craves it sometimes and if he could have it again he would. While I don't particularly like bread, if he was suddenly able to eat it again, I would eat it with him as I know it would make him happy.
It's a little silly, but this analogy finally made it click for me- not eating bread and not having sex aren't that different from each other. I've been feeling very insecure about my sexuality lately and internally struggling with it a lot. I've been worried that my partner wants sex and I am unable to fulfill this desire (he has never expressed this and has even said explicitly that he doesn't mind, but I am an anxious person lol). Throughout our lives, people have separately told us that our restrictions would make us undateable (someone said something like this to me recently which kind of triggered my spiral). That no one would want to be in a long term relationship with someone who has so many dietary restrictions/doesn't have sex. But this isn't true for us. We accommodate each other's needs and adapt our lifestyles to make it work. While our relationship is not conventional, I am very happy with our breadless, sexless life and am the most comfortable I've ever been with another person.
Hope this post resonates with someone. Not wanting to have sex in a relationship isn't something we should feel guilty about. I was able to find peace once I realized that it is simply one of the many accommodations people may make in a relationship for someone they love ❤️
