My partner doesn’t seem to remember I’m ace

Fair warning this has brief mentions of non-disclosed NSFW topics for anyone who cannot handle that, keep scrolling!

I love my girlfriend so much. We have so much in common. We’ve met via mutual friends and due to distance we haven’t met, but of course we FaceTime a lot, often times with her irl friends or mine too. We get along great, and never fight but there’s one thing that I feel is only a problem to me: I hate her sexual jokes.

I make dirty jokes all the time, however they’re usually never targeted at me or a particular person. They’re always about fictional characters or hypothetical scenarios, never (or at the very least) very rarely about me or my gf. I don’t like sexual jokes that have anything rooted in my reality. It makes me very uncomfortable and annoyed.

My girlfriend is sexual 24/7 (her words, not mine) she brings it up every day in basically every conversation, a joke that is about me or her desires, despite the fact I’ve explicitly told her before not to. I don’t think she’s ignoring it; I think she genuinely forgets.

I’ve been very insecure and confused with sexuality as I am practically never interested in it. I hate watching it, I hate hearing about it, and I’d hate contributing into it if I were asked. I don’t know if this is because I’m genuinely asexual/acespec, I’ve been on antidepressants since childhood, or I have incredibly intense bottom dysphoria. Regardless, I’ve done my best to respect her boundaries but she just can’t seem to respect this thing I’ve asked of her. If you have been in this situation, what should I do?

An interesting thing my dad said

So, this evening I was out for dinner with my family (we're atheist for contex) and my dad said that a-theist is wrong term and that the belivers should be called "theist" instead, because the atheist aren't the one who are missing something and are the belivers that, instead, have something more (a faith) that isn't something "required". I tought that It might be something that applies for the asexual too, and, istead, the other are just "sexual".

I don't know if i made my self clear, and sorry for bad english in advance

Thoughts on kissing?

So what do y’all think about kissing someone? For me, kissing lowk grosses me out. Like it’s fine in comics or like random Pinterest posts (not freaky, like silly lesbians) and I’m like „kinda wanna do that maybe“ but then I think abt it and I’m like „eeeuuuggghhh nvm“. Bcs I see it, kinda wanna do it w/ someone bcs everyone looks so happy and I wanna do it (just simple too, again, nothing freaky) and then I think abt it and then don’t want to anymore bcs I get so grossed out. And if I did do it, it would just be a cute little peck when leaving the house just to say bye to my partner. I still am not sure how I feel about the idea of my mouth touching someone else’s 😭

Afraid of losing myself if I have sex


I’m almost 30 and still a virgin because I’ve never met anyone I trust. I’ve always felt asexual, but I worry that if I have sex and like it, I’ll become addicted to it. Even experimenting with masturbation scares me because of my religious upbringing, so I barely do it.

Dating is hard — people always want to know my sex history, and when I tell them I’m a virgin, they don’t believe me and pressure me. Most conversations just turn into talk about sex, and it makes me shut down. Can I get some dating tips please?

How do ya’ll navigate relationships? 🤔 Have you found the one?

I’ve accepted that I’ll remain a single cat lady for the rest of my life cause the dating world would be so complicated. I’ve never dated anyone as a 23F because I know it would be a waste of time in a hyper sexual, STI plagued society. I also hate how love/ lust messes with my brain; can I stop thinking of you? I don’t even want to be with you! So for those who are actively trying to find the one, how has that been? I’d love to hear your stories of how you’ve navigated relationships and the comprises you’ve had to make.

A bit about me: I’ve identified as ace for a while because the most ideal relationship would be one where you’re just roommates that are attracted to each other but aren’t sexually intimate. Similar to the companionship of a pet. You’ll risk your life for it and it’s clear you’ll never have sex with it… unless you’ve got problems. But you’ll kiss it to death and want cuddles, buy all the toys to make it happy and give it a great life. it’s a shame the same principle can’t be applied to humans.

Am I the only one who says this.

I'm grey asexual and I know most people say grey-ace or greysexual or something along those lines, but it always seemed like a mouthful when I was explaining it to people so I just found myself saying Grey-ce (pronounced like grace). Just felt like sharing that.

A gentle question for asexual men who don’t want romantic or sexual relationships 🧑🧍

Hey everyone 💜

I’m an asexual woman and also a sociology student.
Lately I’ve been really curious about how asexual men experience life — especially those who genuinely don’t want romantic or sexual relationships at all.

I’m not here to debate or analyze anything, just to listen and understand.
I know how hard it can be to explain this part of yourself to others, so I really appreciate anyone who’s open to share.

— Do you feel peaceful or fulfilled living without a relationship?
— How do you feel when people talk about dating, marriage, or intimacy?
— Do you ever get tired of being misunderstood for not wanting those things?

You can share as much or as little as you like — I just want to hear real thoughts and experiences from you.

Please only answer if you identify as male and asexual.

Thank you for reading 🌸

Asexual with high libido?

Hey everyone, any asexuals with high libidos? I feel like this is really contradictory but hear me out. Basically I have a pretty high libido and enjoy viewing nsfw content (vids, audio, writing ect) and while sometimes I will imagine myself in scenarios, it’s more of a third person POV thing. I also find women and men physically attractive. HOWEVER I have zero desire to actually have sexual experiences irl. I honestly have never met anyone irl that I have thought about/desired sexually, and I’ve only felt romantic attraction once in my life, and even then it wasn’t enough for me to desire that person sexually. Even kissing, hand holding and cuddling feels really uncomfortable for me. Sometimes it feels like a weird combination, enjoying the idea of sex but never wanting to actually go out and seek it. I’m not sure if asexual is the right label, so I would usually say I’m on the ace spectrum. Anyone else have a similar experience?
