Sexual fluidity is exhausting
What little sexual attraction I felt is gone. So I am a black stripe I guess. I mean yeah the guy’s hot but other than that there’s just nothing. No reaction.
Sexuality is exhausting.
Just wanted to put this somewhere.

How do I explain to a 5year old
My niece keeps asking when I’m going to get married. In fairness just about everyone she knows in the family is married or in a long term relationship, however I’m AroAce, more than happy single and never intend to marry. She’s asked several times and I’ve tried explaining that I’m not wired/designed/made that way, that I have no one to marry, I’m not interested in getting married and yet I get the question again. And while I know it’s not her fault it is starting to feel invalidating, she is only 5 and not to my knowledge familiar with LGBTQ+ things much past some people have two mommy’s/daddy’s.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences in explaining to young children about being ace or aro that will stop the question but won’t overstep her parents boundaries.
Many thanks in advance.

I feel forced to be gay
Since hs I thought I was bi, I never really cared if I was with a girl or with another guy. Recently I realised that I am greyace.
Since the dawn of time wherever I went people have always questioned my sexuality, most guys I meet see me as gay, and talk behind my back about my sexuality with my girl friends, with lots of girls they treat me as gay best friendTM, I immediately stop being friends with them after that, I find it dumb and petty that a sexuality is so central to a friendship. Whenever I go to a club or whatever the people I met the very first thing they ask me is if I am gay and so many people get so angry and defensive “no you are gay because I say so, there is nothing wrong with it why don’t you accept it” and so on.
Why is my sexuality so controversial and so important to people? It has also taking me into some trouble all of this dumb shit.
I must admit I am 20, maybe it has something to do with my age, but even when meeting older people it is the same thing tbh.

They tell me I have a gay voice. Is this true for all male aces?
Many friends told me that I have a gay voice. I think this contributes to the feeling that I’m gay that many have. Is this something common for asexuals (/aromantics since I’m also that and they could say this because I’m aro and not because I’m ace) or am I the only one (backstreet boys reference)?

Does anyone else question their asexuality because of their accessibility to sex?
I have to word this very carefully to avoid sounding like I’m talking about the very different subject of involuntary celibacy (not the online culture) and the myriad ways no one owes you sex for existing.
Apologies for the anecdote but I am poorly expressed. Lately I’ve seen a friend who always felt demisexual become a self described hedonist after meeting some new people and beginning a life that revolves around sex. Good for them, none of my business.
However, I’ve been questioning a lot about whether I am asexual or use it as a baby blanket to explain away a life I sometimes feel wasted. Surely, if sex is what I really wanted, I would’ve tried harder to get it, right? I’d have felt desire more and so on.
What if, due to self esteem and physical issues, I am not asexual and say it to excuse myself from facing certain social problems that limit even my platonic access to people? Would I, happy with myself and appearance, actually abandon what has felt to be my identity if I believed I could be a sexually active person?
I wonder a lot lately if I’m deceiving myself and wanted to know if anyone else had that feeling. I don’t want to be a hedonist, but I also know enough about my negativity to know I’ll run away rather than face reality.
Sorry if this sounds like a broad assessment of asexuality in general. There’s so many people here who could be having loads of sex if they wanted but obviously do not. But it sometimes feels confusing/disingenuous to be uninterested in sex but also unable to have it.

Weird question
In general if losing virginity hurts women and sex is not enjoyable for first few times(, stereotypically) why would anyone do that if they don't like it like why would anyone continue to have it? If I don't like something i am not gonna continue like?

I'm not okay (reddit is also not okay)
I'm asexual and also a minor and I just saw some extremely.. inappropriate stuff on reddit that I wish I could bleach my eyes and forget about. Not that being asexual changes anything but it felt traumatic... why are there even stuff like this on reddit? Why is it allowed? It wasn't even censored or labelled mature/blurred etc. I feel disturbed

Making a YouTube video about Asexuality….need questions
I’ve been making YouTube videos about Asexuality since 2015 and am in the process of making a video about Asexuality in a broad sense.
I would absolutely love it if some of you have any questions that I could possibly use and cover in the video. It could be questions you’ve personally been asked as an Asexual, or it could be questions you personally have about Asexuality. I feel it would be really interesting to cover a broad spectrum of questions here.
Thank you in advance!

Does anyone else really like physical touch??
So, I identify as asexual, but I also really like physical touch. I really like to cuddle, and I like holding hands, hugging, etcetera. Most of the ace people I've met don't like people touching them, and I'm wondering if anyone else likes physical touch?
Edit: I don't like people touching me if I don't know them, and I only like people touching me if it's not sexual.

How did you know?
How did you know you were asexual? I’ve always wondered if I was because I have had zero interest in having actual sex. The intimacy can be nice but the thought of getting naked and having something inside of me just doesn’t really sound like a great time. I’ve even thought of what if I just liked the same sex but even still, no interest in sex. I get uncomfortable when there’s sex scenes on movies. Like someone said in another post, I feel like everyone is in on this inside joke except me. I’m in a relationship with someone who doesn’t get it and gets upset with me. Thinks I don’t love them or want to be with them. I’ve had good relationships and bad & I still, am not very interested in sex. I’d rather cuddle and watch a movie. Idk. Idk what this really classifies as. I’m kind of lost in my sexuality. Or lack thereof.
So how did you know you were?

What are you opinions on giving your partner freedom to sleep with someone else as long as they keep the romantic side with you?
I am now realizing I’m asexual, and have never found a partner that didn’t want a sexual relationship. Would it be possible to give him the space to have sex with others? I want 100% of their heart, but can’t offer the sex. I’ve tried pretending for so long and I honestly just can’t keep having sex when I have no interest in it.
I want to find someone asexual but have no idea how to even do that. I don’t want to announce it on a dating site because that’s too personal for random people to know about me.

"Squandaring" your looks
Hay all, so I'm a male asexual and an interesting topic came up tonight. I'm at a bachelor party and am the only single guy in the party. Throughout the events, the others tried to kind of hook me up with people we ran into, but being asexual I wasn't into it in that way. Later conversation after drinking turned into talking about me and people's reactions. Apparently I'm fairly attractive, and some people were lamenting that I wasn't making use of my looks to get women/partners. A comment was made that I'm squandering my looks and that left me feeling kind of upset in a way. Idk, I guess I've had trouble reconciling other people's attraction with my own level, and I don't want to get into a funk about this but at the moment it kinda feels bad. Any tips for navigating these kind of situations? Appreciated

How do I describe this feeling. What emotion is it?
I'm trying to tell my best friend that I want to spend the rest of my life with him, to see the world and to share the small things in life. I've felt this way for awhile. We are besties, and I know I haven't felt any kind of sexual attraction to him, and the best way I can describe it is I feel like we are family but idk "closer"? I am trying to find some kind of word to describe it. Like I care for him that's a fact, I love him but not quite romantically. Is there a word for it? Or maybe it is a romantic attraction and it's my own version of it? It certainly doesn't seem like what's been described to me. Please some help would be helpful, and I'm free to answer questions to try and narrow It down.
