Asexual Man (Early 20s), friends and family are pushing me to date and shag. Don't really know what to do!!
Basically what the title says, for the last couple of years my parents have been pushing me to have 'normal' relationships, and to get some firsts done whilst I am at university, ie. Sex, Kissing ect. And, now that all of my friends are in relationships at university, they are trying to get me a partner also. Even though they know I'm asexual, and probably aromantic. I don't think they mentally worked out that if you cannot experience sexual desire towards someone/ dont want to have sex with them, that they might not want to be your partner. It's just really frustrating tbh. Don't really know what to do when it pervades every aspect of my life. From all family memebers, and all friends. Its systemic at this point haha.
Any advice at all would be welcome. Thank you all!!!

After how many dates is it normal to be more intimate?
Basically, I invited a date to my place for the 3rd date and I was not thinking anything special would happen. Rather that we would just chill and get to know each other in a deeper level. He however had other plans and started making out with me.
I was really shocked by this and after I felt like he was going forward too fast. I also felt a bit sick and shaken by it. I feel like I would've needed to know him a lot better to even consider kissing. Is this a normal reaction or could I possibly be ace- or demisexual?

what age did you realise you were asexual
I'm currently 14 (15 in jan) and I feel like I'm too young to identify with anything but I've been questioning it since I found out what asexuality is, I would honestly be happy to die a virgin where with my friends they're all talking about sex. I understand that it could be early and I might be more interested when I'm older but at the moment there is nothing there

How do I know I'm not just Questioning?
Are there any reasources to reliably test if I am asexual? Sorry if this could have been a Google question! Thanks for reading!

My Asexuality- I just want to cry.
Maybe not so much so do I cry about it. But it makes me want to cry.
You see as it says in my bio and next to my username in the subreddit.
I'm thirty-two typing this.
I am content if being with another woman never happens.
But it is still quite annoying and another harmless word I can't think of.
I keep dreaming of this woman who would be perfect for me. But alas; that is only in dreams I get to have it.
My dream woman is basically another me; but also like a Linda Belcher.
Sigh.
Why is sex taken as so important unless it is having a child. No thanks.
I don't even masterbate anymore. I am not repulsed. I am not a trauma reason. None of those kinds of reasons. I just don't care. No thanks.
I'll probably have some form of that dream of that woman again tonight. I bet you I will.
Late night was a dream about chugging milk knowing damn well I'll break out drinking it. So I didn't have a dream about it last night. Not every night. But most nights I do dream of the woman.
But I bet tonight I'll have it while asleep.
Does anyone else ever dream of their dream person being asexual as well as all else you?
I don't even know. I just wanted to get this out.
Comment if you want to.
Again... I'm fine and content and so on as I said. Just think it would be cool if I could have what the dreams of them are; like if I could be in the dreams of them for real.

An ace convention would be a great idea
So here’s an idea I had that I dont know how to put together but maybe someone else might be able to. So what if there was a convention for asexuality where asexuals from all over the country/world could go and meet each other and discuss being asexual. Be able to buy ace pride merch or even just merch from small businesses owned by asexuals. There could even be a meet up areas specifically designed for finding certain relationships like looking for queer platonic, heteromantic, bi-romantic, homo-romantic , polygamous and monogamous sections in the romantic spaces or even just friendship. There could even be speaker who talk about being asexual in sexual job spaces(like Yasmin Benoit is and like I am too) and how they deal with that, or how to feel more comfortable with your asexuality. I think this would be a nice thing to have both as community thing but also as a way to help with asexual dating which is hard enough as is.(I don’t know if I spelled everything right so let me know if I didn’t and I’ll fix it)

I hate being sex repulsed/negative
This is a VENT. I don't care about you. This is about me.
It's so frustrating because it's an inconvenience. Whenever there's something sexual in any show or movie, I have to turn it off because it makes me violently ill. Its gotten to the point to where i just wtach mainly kid's shows and movies to avoid it all together instead of giving anything catered towards teens or adults a chance. I honestly wish that incould be the asexual that doesn't care about sex or better yet, not asexual at all. I hate it! I wish it would just go away. Ugh

What asexual topics would you like to see talked about in YouTube videos?
Hi, I used to make Youtube videos a few years ago but I stopped regularly creating content when I moved states. I want to get back into regularly creating content for the Aromantic and Asexual community,
I am wondering if anyone has any topics/questions/etc. that they would like to see discussed from a Asexual and Aromantic person. I want to be the representation I needed when I was a child.
Some info about me if it helps with anything:
* I am 32
* I am a Black American
* I am woman
* I am asexual
* I am aromantic
* I would explore having a QPR if I ever met the right person
* I would explore getting married in my QPR
* I have only had one relationship (I was 12 does that count? lol)
* I am happily single
* I am an artist
* I used to own my own online shop
* I am a maladaptive daydreamer
* I am medicated with Effexor for anxiety and depression
* I am an INTJ
* I am a book reader
Okay I think that covers everything, thank you in advance if you respond to this!

do you think that allos have "acedar"? as if they know something is different about you?
So do you think that the allos kind of intuitively know that you're ace after a time? Is this a thing? Like something that they just sense? And I'm not even talking about the fact that it's like physical things like "oh, you always seem to be single" (because a lot of the time that (wrongly) leads people to question if maybe the ace person is gay), or maybe its that "you dont say innuendos or make smutty jokes" or "you dont seem to have gotten upto any escapades on the weekend hooking up with someone from a bar"
It's more just like can they just seem to sense something different about you? Like is it that you lack some sort of sexual aura or some sort of behaviour that they sense from other allos that you seem to be missing but they can't seem to place?. And ever if they do sense something, do they even realize it's specifically asexuality? Or is this just in my head that because I'm thinking about it all the time, somehow I'm radiating it out to them and they're picking something up? .

Being ace in the military is a lonely experience.
I'm an airman in the USAF and a good chunk of people here are already married despite some of them being on the younger side. So many people are financially incentivized to marry that one person they've known in their training school for a period of months and ending up tying the knot with them. I've already met someone in her mid 20s that is divorced and hear rumors of infidelity going on across different branches (shared a class with soldiers and sailors).
I don't feel particularly envious of other people's romantic lives, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't lonely because everyone else is too busy being with their partner or having to take care of a child. Does not help that my career field is incredibly small compared to other job fields in the military.

Why's everyone so horny
A bunch of guys keep asking me out and i think about it and i hate the idea like i dont want to go near that kind of relationship nor especially be touched (it acutally annoys me and makes me all jittery just thinking about it) i just want a purely platonic relationship, why are all these guys so fucking horny, just calm the fuck down, im so mad right now /j (but not really but also /j). Ive recently become friends with a lot of guys, idk if it's because its just overwhelming because its sucha new experience and i used to be so sure that i liked the idea of doing these things.
Ive literally throughout my whole life never felt the inclination to engage in a romantic relationship but i am attracted to people and like the idea of sex etc but when its real and in my face its totally unappealing and when ive engaged in sexual acts before ive felt almost completely neutral. I dont know if im asexual (definately not it feels closer to demisexual but i dont know what that even really means) or if its just social anxiety and im afraid to try new things because whenever i experience new things or are thrown into new environments the adrenaline shoots up and i become a fucking mess so maybe im just scared? Idk.
Im a bit all over the place right now because im a bit overwhelmed but id really like some mommy (or daddy or just you know parental figure) asexuals in the chat, is this normal, im very confused, stick a label on me package me up put me in a box categorize me please.
