could we stop asexuality definition "checking"
sorry for the lack of a better title. i can't think of a better way to say it
sometimes when there's a post from an ace person with a low or no libido, there always seems to be a comment reiterating something along the lines of "asexuality has nothing to do with libido, it means little to no sexual attraction" when the poster isn't even claiming otherwise.. not every "stereotypical" ace is a low libido allo, just like favorable aces aren't "allos in denial"

Sensitive images in pride subreddits
Dear community, I ask for your advice in a certain matter. Over at r/nonbinary I suggested to please put a spoiler on pictures that show people in underwear. I'm not completely sex averse but I really dislike seeing strangers in underwear in my everyday feed. Almost all comments so far alienate and berate me to not be so sensible.
How are your thoughts on that issue?

Lol almost got me questioning...almost
Really REALLY wasn't sure what to tag this. Basically I compulsively pick at my scabs to the point where my arms are an art gallery of different colored scars. I have long suspected either dermatillomania or that it's some sort of self harm(I've had severe depression for more than half my life) anyway I decided to look it up today and see if it is a common form of self harm and saw that it's commonly associated with a disease called PWS(Prader-Willi Syndrome) I looked this up and saw that a common side effect of PWS is lack of sexual development/maturity so I looked it up and....nope it's caused by chromosome 15 not working properly which causes a hormone imbalance. Besides me not having literally ANY other symptoms(ravenous hunger which often causes obesity, poor infantile muscle tone, and developmental delays in other areas) I also have had my hormones tested for other medical reasons and I'm completely normal for someone my age, gender weight, height, etc. but it ALMOST had me questioning if I was really ace.

How do I get people to understand that I don't experience crushes?
Yesterday I was having a conversation with my sister's boyfriend and randomly the subject of my sexuality came up. He asked if I liked boys or girls and I just told him no for both. He and my sister apparently believe im gay and have a secret massive crush on a friend of mine. I told him I have never experienced having a crush in my entire life and a definitely do not have one for my friend. He basically told me im in denial. It made me uncomfortable that not just him but also my sister think this stuff about me.
He looked at me insane when I told I have never had a crush in my life. And tbh it hurt. It happened yesterday and I still cant get it out of my head due to how adamant he was on me being in denial and the look he gave me. It reminds me of the time I told a classmate I had never had a crush and they told me they were genuinely scared of me and looked at me like I was insane.
How do I get people to understand that sometimes people just dont experience crushes? How do I get them to understand that it makes me uncomfortable to even assume that im in love with someone especially a friend?

On which finger and which hand does the ACE ring go?
I was finally able to get the ring, and I think it goes on the middle finger, but I'm not so sure if I'm right.

I am a baby trans NB asexual that is still earning money through sex, do I still fall under the Asexual umbrella even though I do it out of necessity?
I’m 19nb asexual that just recently realized that I’m asexual. I have been doing lots of sex and sex related things for some good money for about almost 2 years now for person financial reasons, and for the complicated bit: I don’t really feel any pleasure when having sex. It’s been more of a thing that I do.
I either do sex things for the money or for free as a form of endearment to a possible partner or someone close to that.
With all the information that I’ve laid out, am I welcomed here?
Note: this is my first post on here so please point out any of my mistakes please

Annoyed with freaky topics
Does anyone else get annoyed when someone is overly freaky, or shares their sex life out of nowhere? I was having a conversation with someone, and they randomly brought up how they take it up the ass

Y’all! I think I might be on the edge of conclusion that i believe that i am on the asexual spectrum (greysexual)!
I have been thinking a lot on how i feel about it and my past to see if it’s enough to prove that i’m at least greysexual! I probably have experienced sexual attraction only twice and that’s it! I can’t really tell if it was true sexual attraction but i remember once saying “we would make kids and i’ll name them this and that” with a celebrity that i had a crush on at that time! I probably have said that just as a joke or i did it mainly for getting to the names part! And the other time i do truely think i actually did experience sexual attraction to where i saw a shirtless celebrity and i literally said out of nowhere to myself “wow i would smash him”! And those were my past thoughts and i had a huge feeling that this whole time i have thought i was sexually attracted to both gurls and boys and thought i was bi because i would get aroused and be masturbating on them but it just turns out that that whole time it was actually aesthetic attraction i was experiencing and masturbation is not considered sexual attraction either and that now got me thinking if that could mean that i am asexual or at least on the spectrum and i think i am getting a bit confident! I am still trying to find it more convincing since i feel like i don’t even act like an asexual myself since i was very dirty minded and masturbated a lot in the past but i also feel like what if everyone else who is a non asexual could be the same as me where they would not always say that they would smash them or want to after finding them aesthetically attractive but what do you think? Am i still welcomed into the community?

Am i actually ace?
So I’ve always thought I was ace or at least in the gray area of it. I don’t have interest in dating or romance and a lot of the time I things it’s kinda gross to look at, no offense to anyone out there who’s in love lol. But at the same time I crave to just be like held and stuff. I have no desire for anything past friendly like hugs and cuddling but I feel like I’m the only one like this. I still have “me time” when it comes to sexual stuff but I never had or have the desire to have someone else be apart of it. Does this make me not ace? Am I something else entirely that I’ve never heard of? I don’t exactly take the time to like research all the different stuff regarding sexuality so I kinda just asked some friends who said they thought I was ace and I just went with it. I’m not big on labels but I feel like when people ask why I’m single and not looking to date that I should have some kind of explanation besides I don’t feel like it. I always get the response, “but you’re so pretty!” And “You shouldn’t have such low self esteem” when that has nothing to do with it.
