"Icks" and allosexuals/romantics

So I (21 nb) have been seeing all those "These are my dating icks, list of normal healthy things." Do allo's even like eachother? And why do people (in this argument men) feel they are deserving of sex and/or romance. Why are romance and sex used this way? (Aside from sex sells.)

Again it could be my aro/Ace butt talking, I don't understand being so creepy and super picky. (Especially when incel speak starts to come through.)

Are we not worthy to be loved truly?

I’m 24 y/o and asexual. I always questioning if someone like me isn’t worthy of love. Why can I not be happy with someone. Why does everyone rejects me. Am I not enough. Do other asexual people feel the same way. I overthink it so many times and even when I think I accepted it, I just find myself wondering why can I not be in love once with someone truly and get loved and accepted fully. I feel like only toxic or abusing ppl tolerate me because they just put you in the way they want you to be or make you do things, don’t need to go deeper into it. But as far they feel more safe and nice they definitely not gonna be with you. Yes, they accept it and don’t want you to do things that you don’t want but you always will be alone in the end. Because they always leave you as far they know. For no one is less sex enough. Even if you would have everything which seems a dream for them they reject you because you don’t want sex everyday.. but than saying “sex isn’t everything in a relationship” but showing exactly the opposite. Sometimes I hate being asexual but only because I seek to be loved once for who I am but no one wants someone like me. I feel so alone and unloved. Like no one can or wants to love me or even try, to see if this could work. I just don’t know anymore what to do, should I still have hope that someone would love me truly for the way I am?

Origins of Garlic Bread in Ace Culture

Around the early 2010s, Tumblr and other ace spaces were exploding with memes.

Someone joked: “Sex? No thanks, I’d rather have garlic bread.”

It spread like wildfire because it was funny, harmless, and relatable to a lot of aces who felt pressured about sex but would honestly just prefer something cozy and simple.

From there, garlic bread became shorthand for ace joy: choosing what you actually want instead of what society tells you to want.

🫧Would like a lil clarification I guess 🫧

Okay, so I’m on the ace spectrum and Asexuality is little to no sexual attraction, right? Not physical attraction or sexual desire, right? Attraction ≠ Desire, right? Soooo why do people equate asexuality to absolute incapability of having sex? I try to understand, but I don’t. Someone not feeling sexual attraction towards someone does not mean they can’t/won’t have sex. I’d get it if someone said “ I want a sexless relationship” or “I never want to have sex” but that also doesn’t equal the whole community.

Can I wear an ace of spades if I'm not aromantic?

I'm asexual, but not aromantic. I was going to use the ace of spades, then thought I should probably see if it's got a terrible connotation or something. After some (extremely light) research, I found out that the ace of spades represents aroace people and the ace of hearts represents people who identify as asexual, but not aromantic (with clubs being greyromantics or greysexuals?)

However, I play a lot of card games, and I honestly just like the ace of spades more (both design-wise and as it's usually a higher-ranking card). Spades in general, too, is just my favorite card suit.

I was going to paint it on the back of a jacket, and I kind of just don't feel like wearing a huge heart around? (or cake, garlic bread, etc.) I felt like I should probably clear it with the internet first though, in case it's genuinely an issue and really disrespectful?

(if it's not okay to use spades, I'd appreciate some other ace - symbol ideas for my jacket back? might do the dragon?)

Why were they requiring me to answer questions about my sexuality at just a doctor's appointment

They asked a few demographic questions including my sexuality. This was after I was called back and talking with a nurse, not on paperwork where I could've declined to answer myself. She was putting my answers in a computer. I said "I don't know how to answer that" since I knew my answer may not even be listed (I'm aroace) but she wouldn't move on until I was able to answer so I guess there wasn't any "prefer not to answer" option that she could choose.

What did my sexuality and other demographics have to do with my foot injury and why wasn't I given the option to decline to answer?
