I just came out to my mom and it went...well?
So I (F18) came out to my mom as AroAce (I mostly mentioned the Ace part, but the Aro part was there too) she didn't knew nothing about that so I had to explain to her plus that I'm romance aversed and sex repulsed (so she doesn't expected me dating or having biological children in the future) and of course what those words mean (the most uncomfortable conversation I ever had with my mom), and when I finish, It seemed like she took it well... and then... she proceeds to give me a talk about safe sex...
I didn't say a lot, more than "I know", "yeah", "I was tought that in school" but it really felt like she hadn’t listened to me at all, or like she didn't care.
It was like "Mom I don't feel sexual attraction and I think sex is gross" My mom: "Yeah, yeah, well, when you have sex..."
It was half funny cuz wtf??? But it also was kinda hurfull.

Tired of finding NSFW when trying to find things I like
Ever since I first used the internet I'd regularly get jumpscared with nsfw content while trying to find stuff I liked. Safe search and filters have helped, but I'm just disgusted at how sexualized the internet is to the point that there's literally the meme of "rule 34" being used to fetishize everything. I feel uncomfortable even just searching for the stuff I enjoy online for fear some porn will appear in the search results. It's triggering and gross.
I'm tired of my mental illnesses being fetishized. I'm tired of my coping mechanisms being fetishized. I'm tired of feeling like a child when I'm almost 30 just because I can't stand the thought of being associated with anything sexual. The concept that it's supposedly normal for allosexuals to have sexual fantasies about real people without their consent is just really disgusting to me and I feel like I could never fully trust a romantic partner, or even just the average person online.

There are so many variations of asexuality but I think there's one thing we can all relate with
"You'll grow out of it"
"You just haven't find the right person for you yet"
When you tell people that you're not planning on marrying or having kids.
I know there are aces that date and have kids but I know most of us find these statements hella annoying.
