\* You've researched what crushes are "supposed" to feel like, but can't relate.
These are just a few signs you might be Aromantic. Aromanticism is a spectrum, and every person's experience is unique.

Romantic Desire as an Asexual?? Does anyone get it? Help me out here.
Hello. I am a Cis Asexual Soft Tomboy Butch; Dyke Lesbian as anyone who is one.
Now my attraction is like anyone; you don’t know why; you just do and; or are.
Yes; I am attracted to Big ish Masculine Mullet-y Nonbinary Butch; Dyke lesbians with no chest, the pronouns are changed; but the rest is still as woman as it was.
I keep having dreams about being in the lap of a Big ish Masculine Mullet-y Nonbinary Butch; Dyke lesbian with no chest, the pronouns are changed; but the rest is still as woman as it was leaning in to them as I fall sleep.
With that said…
Does that mean I only have Romantic Desire? I mean, because I don’t want the sex part and I still find them ones attractive as all hell.

Why I No Longer Identify as Asexual/Aromantic - Here's My Story
So, a huge disclaimer on this post, I don't intend to be aphobic or offend anyone, this is simply my story. I'm not trying to insinuate that every instance of identifying as ace is a phase, (though in my case, it was). I'm making this post because I've seen a lot of posts from minors -- or otherwise very young people -- that are confused and looking for a label. I'm here to warn people about the potential harm of labeling yourself too soon and the pressure that can come from it.
When I was young (around five years old) I began treatment for precocious puberty (starting puberty too soon), and used puberty blockers until I was about nine or ten. During that time, I can't recall ever having a crush on a boy -- or anyone for that matter -- and I felt super isolated and couldn't understand why I didn't feel the way the other girls did. Looking back now, it was likely a side effect of the blockers, but being that young, the thought never crossed my mind. Like I said, it was difficult at first, but before long, I started to embrace it. As a young girl in elementary and middle school, I liked feeling "different" and seeing the stunned reactions of other people when I told them I'd never had a crush before. By the end of middle school however, that was a flat-out lie.
My eighth grade year was done entirely online due to Covid, and during that isolation, I was spending more and more time online, and was swept up in confusion surrounding my sexuality with all the different labels and brightly-colored flags. This also coincided with one of the worst years of my life -- being so isolated and all. I started to question if the one crush I had had previously was even real or considered a crush; as I found many different definitions and emotions associated with them. By the time I went back to school in freshman year, I didn't just think, I knew I was asexual in some way or at the very least queer. Or at least, I wanted to be.
Still seeking to be different and wanting attention from others, I continued to lie. I pretended like I had no idea what it meant or how it felt to find someone attractive or develop a crush on them. Being so young, it was easy, as I hadn't developed enough yet; and the one crush I did have didn't really "count." At this point, my lie started to become my truth as I convinced myself more and more -- continuing to write off any instance of attraction as an immediate reflex, "Oh, I just like his outfit," or, "Oh, I just like his music/movies" (in the case of a celebrity crush). I suppressed my emotions so much because, 1. I wanted to be different. and 2. I was never comfortable with the idea that someone could have an influence over me like that. I viewed it negatively -- like it was a weakness to have a crush.
Eventually, I told this lie to my two friends. Their ears perked up, and they gave me what I was looking for -- they slapped the label "Asexual" on me immediately; I was fourteen. Being with that label made me feel high and mighty -- holier than thou over everyone else. Girls would complain about their crush and I'd say, "Huh, that's weird, I don't have that problem." I was very much asking, "Am I cool yet?"
I spent a lot of time online and determined for myself that I was Aromantic too -- once again, feeling better than everyone else even among asexuals. I felt it was "cheating" to not be aromantic. By this point, it was real to me. Something about having a label and a community completely silenced the part of my brain keeping me tethered to reality -- the part that would remind me I was lying to my peers. I constantly monitored myself and picked apart every glance I stole towards a guy; I'd tell myself it wasn't attraction because "I don't do that," and suppressed, suppressed, suppressed. I thought emotions that were actually normal were signs of asexuality, and the groups I was a part of both online and off only affirmed that. Things like being afraid to have sex, or being afraid to kiss a guy, are completely normal for young

Things like being afraid to have sex, or being afraid to kiss a guy, are completely normal for young
girls (and boys I'd imagine to some extent too), they're incredibly vulnerable and scary situations.
I carried on like this for years up until very recently when I finally started to be honest with myself. I have had crushes before, and just because it wasn't like the movies, doesn't mean I don't know what they are. Currently, it's an uphill battle to dismantle what I've done to my own mind and learn not to be so aggressively dismissive of my real emotions. It's not a weakness to have a crush on a boy, nor is it "cool" to suppress it. I was too young to learn about labels, and crammed myself mercilessly into a box of me and my friends' choosing. We all knew too much before we even knew ourselves.
Boy, I have a lot of work to do. My friends are all under the assumption that I'm asexual, and I still act like it too. I need to take it apart in my own mind before involving them in this mess. A few things I think kids need to look out for if they find themselves in a similar situation online are: 1. being told that they're welcome to "use the label for as long as it feels comfortable." Sure, it sounds nice and harmless, but from my experience the pressure of a label is almost too much to bear for a child. As soon as they start slipping from the label's definition, they crack the whip on themselves to stay in line. For a kid, it's way more about wanting to be asexual vs. actually being asexual, but with so little experience, it's hard to tell the difference. And, 2. this one is pretty specific; it's someone telling them, "C'mon, if you're googling 'Am I Ace?' then you probably are ace. No straight person feels the need to do that." My friends told me that and I believed them; I was happy too, because it made me "different."
There is something to be said about the psychological effects labels can have on someone so young. If I was never made aware of asexuality, I would've likely grown out of my attention-seeking phase much sooner; and wouldn't have forced it on myself. My attraction to boys is subdued now, it's subtle, childish, and embarrassing. I feel years behind where I should be, so I guess the early bloomer has become the late bloomer after all. I still have a lot to learn and am off to college now, I hope to let myself fall in love there.
I guess my message is for kids (particularly girls) in middle school or high school: It is normal to want to be different, it is also normal to want to fit in. It's normal to experience crushes differently, subtly, frequently, or infrequently. I know, it's confusing right? Just relax and be honest with yourself. Maybe you're like me and feel it's embarrassing or a weakness to feel this way towards someone. I know I never enjoyed talking about it. Before I thought I was ace, I always kept those feelings private -- they were nobody's business but my own. And, y'know what? That's normal too.
I have no hate towards asexual or aromantic people. I think you guys are pretty cool and valid. This was simply my experience I wanted to get out there. I no longer identify as asexual or aromantic in any way. Respectfully, I have to go.

Why does every romance in film have to end with them 'consumating'?
From since the olden days, they'd have a couple have sex at some point in the early development of their relationship. Before they'd 'hint' at it due to censorship, now man butt is just casually thrown in our faces.
I don't mind them talking about it, as it's important to talk about especially when you're young, and also gives us a warning for incoming smashing (a good example of this well done is in Heartstopper; they talked about it so much that I expected to see much more than I did, so I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't make me watch them waltzing their cheeks around).
Thing is, it's not even interesting to heteros. None of my pro-sex friends found sex scenes 'hot and steamy'. Actually, one really good case, was when me and my bff were watching Bridgerton, and we were both squealing over the sexual tension with Anthony and Kate, but then when they had sex it was just meh.
So what's even the point of it then? Everybody, ace or not is always talking about how much they love sexual tension, and it's one of my favorite things to watch on screen. But no one actually cares about the sex scenes, they just watch p*rn if they want. They could literally get away with having a whole season of tension end with the characters telling their friends they f*cked and move on!
Like it's not even for the 'normal people'. I just don't get why they bother. 🤷 What's the point?

Dobby is free?ha
It's been 3 months... 3 full months since my partner of 3.5 years and I broke up. It has been so peaceful to not to be bothered with sex, to not be pestered with this taxing chore. It's like I convinced myself for so long that I must have sex and it wasn't optional. I was too afraid to admit that I didn't care for sex like other people do. Sex felt cumbersome and overstimulating. I was so scared for everything to fall apart and when it did, it was like trying to pick up quicksand. Pointless. I could cry of how free I feel and I did have a wonderful partner, but I never realized how heavy of a burden this was. We just weren't compatible in that way. I will always love her and I'll always love me. Sometimes you have to put yourself first. Dobby is free 🥹

Feels like my bf doesn't respect my identity
I told my boyfriend that I'm asexual and it didn't go well.
I made sure to lead with telling him I still love him and want to be with him, but he still accused me of secretly hating him and was very upset. After he calmed down, I explained I'd still be okay with doing things for him, but I'd like to do it way wayyyy less because it makes me anxious, though I still want him to be happy too. I understand it can be a deal-breaker, and told him to be honest with me if it was. He said he understood, and it wasn't a deal-breaker, and he agreed.
Though the past few weeks he's been complaining about the fact that I'm "not normal". He still tries to initiate several times a day and pouts when I turn him down, still saying it's because I don't love him. When I remind him what we talked about, he just says he understands, but then keeps bugging me about it. I don't even know what to do here. We've spent years together and I don't want to lose him, but he's not respecting my identity and it's driving me crazy.
Sorry if this isn't the place to put this, just needed to get it off my chest.

I believe my asexuality came about because of my assault. That doesn’t make it any less valid.
CW for mentions of rape.
When I, (19M) was a child I was raped violently by a man four times my age. Ever since then I’ve never found anything to do with sex attractive and even have a heavy repulsion to it. I heavily believe my SA is the primary reason for this, and my therapist agrees.
The issue I have is that I see many people claiming that because my asexuality is due to a trauma in my life , it’s somehow less valid. I’ve even seen people say that people like me need to go to therapy and “work through” my asexuality. I’m so tired of it.
I am asexual. How I got there isn’t important. Just because a force in my life got me here doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I’m so grateful that our community exists and that I know there are people like me out there. 💜🤍🩶🖤

Just wondering why it didn't catch to call them sexuals as opposed to allosexual. For comparison, we have theists and atheists. It'd make sense to have sexuals and asexuals

Can asexual would want to have sex with the same gender without sexual attraction? If so, how?
Im so sorry for the TMI question. Especially with the last one, i am sorry.
But i have thought abt it for a while.
Can an asexual prefer of wanting to have sex with the same gender without being sexually attracted to one?
If so, how?
How can they want to have sex with the same gender if they dont feel sexual attraction to it?
I am curious

My experience
I don't know if anyone will relate to this, but basically, whenever I have sex, be it with any gender, even if I like kissing, cuddling, and even giving foreplay, I personally don't enjoy doing or even receiving sexual gratification in any other way. What I do like however, is seeing, and especially hearing, my partner get pleasure from doing it with me. Does anyone relate ?

Got into an argument today about the definition of asexuality. I just wanted to remind everyone that even if you’re not sex repulsed, you’re still asexual and valid. Don’t let anyone, especially anyone on Reddit, to tell you differently.

I really wish there was an “ask an ace” sub or something like it, where people who really love answering constant questions about “am I ace if I like sex?” “Is my girlfriend ace?” “I’m hypersexual and I am dating an asexual - what should I do?” Etc
I know this makes me incredibly grumpy and old, but I know I’m ace, I embrace my sexuality or lack of, I’m proud and fiercely protective of the ace community, I like the fact that I can view the world without the sex tinted glasses!
I’m not sex repulsed, I just find it sooooo boring, and frankly a bit sad that people place so much importance on one aspect of a relationship. I just wish conversation here wasn’t based on the one thing that the majority of us aren’t overly bothered about, like all of the time!
Yes, I’ve already said, I’m old and grumpy. Can we talk about something else? Pleeeeeease? Just for one day?
Let the down voting commence!
