how to not feel bad knowing i’m going to end my bloodline

first off, i’m out to my parents as asexual. unfortunately, i also don’t have any siblings, and i’m sure my parents are going to want grandchildren once i’m an adult. i’m planning on maybe adopting a kid or two, but i feel like that may not feel the same for them also, i’m diagnosed as autistic and i think i heard somewhere that it’s harder for autistic people to adopt children?? idk if that’s true or not

how do i stop feeling guilty about this??

I am still disappointed...

When I was in college, this guy and I kept talking about watching iron man together. I loved those movies. We never watched iron man though, and I only realized years later that he only just wanted to have sex. :( He never even liked iron man at all! And first I hated myself for having been so naive... but fuck that guy, he is the loser missing out on iron man.

This is my first ACE week. After so many years of confusion and exploration this year, now I can proudly say that I am asexual.

I don’t want to be this way

I always thought I’d “grow out of” my lack of interest in romantic relationships. In my teens I just acted like I was too cool for all the lovey dovey awkward high school dating. But as I’ve gotten older more and more I just wish to be…normal. In college I remember multiple times begging my own body to just please flip that switch that says “I would like to be physically intimate with my partner now”. Instead I went through cycle after cycle of starting to date a person, trying to make my mind and body just be normal, failing and they eventually breaking it off with me because to them I just looked like I had commitment issues. Or I was a prude. Or just a massive weirdo.

The older I get the weirder it is to society that I don’t have a partner. And frankly without a partner you miss out on alot. Just recently I was excluded from a friend event because the host said “sorry—couples only”. And don’t get me started on how many times I heard (about other people); “oh we were really worried about him but then he got a girlfriend” or “he’s so grown up now he’s even got a girlfriend!”. I am literally treated as less of an adult because I can’t hold down a partner.

And I know the rebuttal will be “just date someone who’s ace”. …do you all know how difficult that is? And I’m not a looker so I have trouble catching anyone’s attention. But trying to find that small sliver of a sliver of a percent of people in my area who are: single, ace, looking for a partner, find me interesting, and we get along in all other relationship facets? Impossible. I just want to force myself to be normal.

Wrong answers only - why are you ace?

Me first. Cause my parents said I could never have sex. Obviously I obeyed them mindlessly and made sure to never feel any attraction to anyone. 🫡 YES FATHER!

Asexuals in long term sexual relationships, what are your stances on sex?

What's the closest platonic connection you've ever had? How did it reframe your perspective on the traditional concept of platonic relationships? (non-sexual friendships)

Have you told your doctor?

Have you told your dictore that you're ace? Why or why not? And if you did, what was their response?

How do I talk to my partner?

I (19ftm) am hypersexual, my partner (19gf) is sex-positive asexual. Everything about our relationship is perfect, but I am really unsatisfied with our intimate life. How do I talk to her about this?
We're intimate 1-2 days a week, but we always have to "schedule" our time together a week in advance, and it makes me feel like I'm just a chore she has to do. I don't know how to tell her I'm unhappy without making her feel guilty. We've been together for almost 4 years, and if I just tell her all of a sudden I'm not happy, what happens after? I really do not want to break up with her. She's the love of my life. I don't want to split apart because of this. What do I do? What can I even do? Is there any way where we're both happy in the end? Should I look into ways to lower my libido somehow? I'm at a loss. I love her so much and I really do not want to make her upset by talking to her about this. Should I not say anything to her and instead try to solve my problems myself? Please help me.
