Intrusive thoughts

I’ve been getting intrusive sexual thoughts lately and it’s making me feel disgusting- and it’s making me question myself and my sexuality- it sucks and I just want these gross thoughts to stop. Any advice-?

What would you tell them?

Hey guys! Next year, I will take part in a pageant and my platform is asexuality visibility and hypersexualisation awareness. For me, they go hand in hand. I consider myself as a simply asexual person.

To help me raise awareness I am slowly writing a « diary » that will be available online for people to read for free, just so people know we exist, but also our reality.

I am curious. If you could say anything to allosexual people, to people that say that sex sells and that’s why there is so much sexuality everywhere, or whatever, what would you tell them? I would love to give a voice to our community, but I know my reality isn’t the same as others.

Looking for asexual partner

Hi. I'm a 21 year old girl from pakistan. I'm looking for an asexual partner preferably a male. I want a bond, a connection rather than anything sexual. I feel like when in relationships, sexual talk is a turn off for me. Meaningful, intelligent conversations are what matter to me. Romance is good too. Getting close to people takes a really long time and a lot of effort for me. I want a partner who respects that. Since i don't know where to look for that, i came here. Yall please guide me for that i did smth wrong, I'm sorry idk how reddit works. I'm new. Take care. Bye.

Are You Aro (Advice)?

**Hi everyone!**



Welcome to our weekly Advice post about Aromanticism! Aromantic people experience little to no romantic attraction.



**Do any of these resonate with you?**

\* You rarely (if ever) experience crushes on others.

\* You find the idea of a romantic relationship unappealing, and prefer strong platonic bonds.

\* You've been in romantic relationships but felt like you were going through the motions.

\* 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.



\*\*Have questions about aromanticism or your own identity?\*\* Ask away in the comments below, and we'll and your fellow Aro’s will do the best to help!

Is there a way to deactivate my libido so it goes away?

I think it is physical sensations. I really would like that to stop. It feels like my body is being hijacked and I hate it. Please help.

Help with a conversation :)

Hiya everyone, first post in this specific subreddit and I’m asking for a bit of advice if nobody minds.
I’m 18F, and I’ve recently gotten a girlfriend - my first relationship after realising that I am somewhere on the ace spectrum. I’m pretty far on the side of sex-repulsed.
The thing I wanted to ask about is how I would bring this up to my gf, because it’s something that does need to be talked about. This may be a deal breaker for her, which is okay, everyone has wants/needs in a relationship. Also when is an excellent question. I don’t want to wait too long so that I’m not wasting her time, but also it’s still very new and may be an incredibly awkward/uncomfortable situation.
So, has anyone ever been in a similar situation? If so, I’d greatly appreciate some words of wisdom. Thank you for reading this pile of words that somehow constitutes a post, have a lovely day everyone! :)

I feel like a faker

Hello! I'm Omniromantic Asexual. I've identified as such and been open about it for three years now. But sometimes I feel like I'm faking...

I haven't ever felt sexual attraction to anyone. I've had crushes, found people and characters to be super aesthetically attractive, and I have a partner of over a year now who knows about my asexuality and respects it, even if they don't understand it in depth.

But sometimes I fantasize about fictional characters in sexual situations. I read smut for fun on occasion. I make sex jokes with my partner. But I feel guilty. I feel like a faker sometimes. I can never imagine myself or a real person in such a situation. That makes me uncomfortable on so many levels, I could probably gag.

Maybe it's just weird imposter syndrome. But I feel icky every time because what if I am a faker? What if I read this all wrong or I'm giving the wrong impression?

Why are women reduced to their chests all the time?

Like, I’ve even seen women be referred to as a “walking pair of breasts” one time. I don’t find breasts attractive, I never have. In fact I hate mine and want top surgery. I just hate how hypersexualized breasts are I can’t stand it yet our entire society is built around it. What is even attractive about them I just want mine off im so sick and tired of being reduced to a body part I didn’t ask for all day every day

i think im asexual

I (20F) think im asexual, but Im really confused. I've been sexually active for 5 years, but in the past year I've found myself repulsed by sex. To me, sex is just sex, not something meaningful. It feels like that even when I get into a relationship and I've been in many. I think it's something I've been told is normal to do and so I've just done it, but I find myself dissociating when I do have sex and wanting it to be over as fast as possible. Now, the thought of having sex with anyone makes me nervous and full of dread.

Im really confused because i've always had sex and I would even consider myself to have been hypersexual before coming to college. I still get turned on and can masturbate but when someone else comes into the equation I can't seem to give or receive anymore. Sometimes I can, but I feel like I have to jump over so many hurdles to get to a point where I can enjoy it, and even then it's extremely hard to look the person in the eye or talk or form any type of connection while it's happening.

Does anyone else have any similar feelings or experiences?
