Platonic life partners ...
Is it really so much to ask for? Is it even a thing...? Like. I feel that people misunderstand me so often when I talk about it bc they say "why not roommate" "why not friend"
Maybe it's just me obsessing over semantics, but I feel like a platonic life partner just goes deeper than that somehow.
I can't be so special that I'm the only one looking for this? Lol.
ETA that came off as super mopey. Not mopey, though a little flustered, and appreciating the absurdity of life stuff in general.

Scared to go to gyno
Hi everyone, it's my first time posting here. I'm 27 and have only been to the gynecologist once. We talked and she checked my breasts which wasn't a problem for, but I'm super scared of someone touching me down there. I'm sex repulsed and am a virgin. I never even masturbated. I have some negative experiences when it comes to people touching me down there (old creepy men). I know I need to go to the gyno, but I'm so scared. I read that it can be painful, is that true? Unfortunately I don't have anyone who can come with me, my mother died 5 years ago and my father 2 years ago. I only have one friend who I don't want to be there, she has a mental disability and sometimes says inappropriate things. I thought about bringing the plushie my mom gave me and ask if I can listen to music. I do have some anti anxiety medicine I could take, but I want to try to avoid that as I only use them when I have a panic attack. Do any of you have/had simalar fears? How did you overcome it? What can I do to make it easier to go? Thanks in advance.

A Quick Question About Asexuality
Please excuse my ignorance,but if someone enjoys pegging (as the receptive partner),can they still claim to be asexual?

Someone I met here on Reddit recently came out, and I made this art for him. Do you think he's going to like it? ❤️

Sorry to add to the pile, but I'm confused about my sexuality. I thought I was a lesbian, with aversion to sex, but now I'm not sure. The screenshots are from a post I made yesterday about approaching other women.

Really frustrated by hypersexuality in Japanese media…
I very rarely watch anime but I like anime aesthetics in games and I love visual novels.
There are plenty of visual novels that have no sexual content, which is good. And also some like Fate were released with H scenes to gain more sales but subsequent releases had them removed. I’m fine with that.
But I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen screen shots from something and though “woah that looks cool” and find out it’s no less than 40% hardcore porn.
Even in non-sexualized world like Steins;Gate there are still parts. Like…things will be getting so interesting and then it comes to a full stop so the horny characters can have their banter.
I love Japanese media. But it feels like I’m asking for a burger with no pickles, they put pickles in anyway, and without fail I always have to pick them out when I just wish they weren’t there to begin with.
Does anyone feel that way?

Yeah im definitely Ace
Ive always questioned it since with past boyfriends I enjoyed sex as a social thing, but having just broken up with this last one (mutual, we still besties so no worries), I think I can say that what I was enjoying was the attention. All of the past ones had some element of cheating/open relationship/situationship so I was always insecure about if they actually liked me or not. This last one he was extremely emotionally intelligent, but had high physical needs (Not even sexual, but cuddling and hugs) and I really hated that. I'm not a physically affectionate person at all and it really distressed me and made me feel gross in a way I never had before. Now thinking about sex was a chore i dreaded to do because of how much he'd want to touch me. I didn't have the need to feel "competitive" or "earn" the love through sex and it really shattered my illusion. Glad to be on the other side of it, but wanted to share in case there's anyone reading who thinks they're ace "but how can I be when I still like sex and want it?" Take a step back and examine everything, if you see this pattern know that it's possible, it's OK, and you'll figure it out one day :)

Why are my friends being 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂
get that my friends aren’t ace, but still. We’re writing something together and I was told it would be a romance, which I am fine with. Instead of it being a cute romance though it’s filled with prolonged paragraphs where the characters are gazing longingly into more than each other’s eyes. Am I just being weird?

Is this considered ace??
So basically, I have things I find hot and/or attractive. Also, I can be turned on in theory, and have fantasies, but it's like, I'm ok with the concept of having sex, but then I start to think about actually having sex with someone, and I just find that uncomfortable. Like, somehow I want to have sex, but not actually. Does this make sense?? Am I ace?? I've heard of the term "aegosexual" in case this also relates to that. Also, I'm gay (mlm) and seeing a guy's...member either in pics or whatever, it just almost feels gross? I don't know, it's all really confusing

Screw being a top or bottom! Are you a packet hot chocolate person, or a “melt a bar of chocolate” person?

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with making out?
I’m probably demi and my gf is ace. We do cheek and forehead kisses and sometimes closed mouth kisses. Both of us are pretty grossed out by tongue. I’ve never understood long make out scenes in movies.

How did garlic bread become an ace thing?
Garlic bread seems to be one of these universally loved things. but how'd it become an ace thing specifically?
