Is anyone horny AND sex repulsed?
I don't like to m*****b8 and can't really figure out how to climax anyways. This is annoying and frustrating, I guess just wondering if I'm the only one. Even among aces I feel like a weirdo

Are You Aro (Advice)?
**Hi everyone!**
​
Welcome to our weekly Advice post about Aromanticism! Aromantic people experience little to no romantic attraction.
​
**Do any of these resonate with you?**
​
​
* You rarely (if ever) experience crushes on others.
* You find the idea of a romantic relationship unappealing, and prefer strong platonic bonds.
* You've been in romantic relationships but felt like you were going through the motions.
* You've researched what crushes are "supposed" to feel like, but can't relate.
​
These are just a few signs you might be Aromantic. Aromanticism is a spectrum, and every person's experience is unique.
​
**Have questions about aromanticism or your own identity?** Ask away in the comments below, and we'll and your fellow Aro’s will do the best to help!

Is it useful to sleep in a double bed when you are asexual?
What is the use for an asexual person to sleep in a double bed?
When people move in alone, they always have the reflex to buy a double bed, even when they are single. Because they assume that they will necessarily have sex with someone one day.
But when you are asexual, why should you automatically choose a double bed?
Personally, I know that I will never have sex in my entire life. But since I've lived in a single bed my entire life in my family home, I don't know what I should do if I move in by myself. I am confused and don't know what to do.
Why don't adults sleep in single beds when it's cheaper and takes up less space?

Can I use the Ace title if I like the idea but not the actions?
So I like to read romance and like online things and watching tv romance and such but not things IRL… like I like to read about sex but I don’t like people in person. I fantasize about doing things but can’t fallow through and idk if this is normal and I feel weird for not wanting a bf or partner or anything I’m content with just my dog as my only relationship but I enjoy reading smut… is this like normal???

Does anyone else feel like since they’re ace they get ‘babied’ sometimes?
Has this only happened to me or-??
For some context of what I’m talking about-
(I’ll give a disclaimer all, if not, most of my friends know I’m ace)
I remember talking with a friend once regarding a playlist they made that was based on their OCs (original characters) (We both make them)
I use SoundCloud and they use Spotify, so they were going to use a site to transfer the songs easily into a SC link.
But then they said to me: “Oh I’m sorry there’s some sexual songs in there, I’ll remove them for you for the transfer.”
And I just sat there like: “..I might be ace but there are sexual songs I like, it doesn’t mean I automatically don’t like listening to them-“ (Rule #34 by Fish in a Birdcage, In My Mouth by Black Dresses, Absolute Territory by Ken Ashcorp - those are some examples of some sexual songs I honestly love)
I also vaguely remember once having a friend tell another friend to not make dirty jokes around me or else I’ll get uncomfortable.
And, once again, I sat there like: “.. I make dirty jokes too despite being ace, there’s nothing that necessarily says I’m automatically uncomfortable with dirty jokes-“
I understand they’re just looking out to make sure I’m not uncomfortable, but it still feels like I’m being ‘babied’, y’know? If anything makes me uncomfortable, I know to speak up or leave the conversation or such. (Or in the case of the songs, just.. skip the sexual songs.)
Not that I’m angered with my friends for it of course!
I just randomly remembered this and wondered if any other aces had similar experiences is all, and so, thought I’d make this post.

how long did it take you to accept your truth?
at what age did you think of your asexuality and what age did you decided to stop running from it and explore and accept that this is what you really are? i’ve somewhat known at the age of 14 but i’m truly deciding to fully accept it at the age of 25 now!:)

WHY IS EVERYTHING PORN
i'm a sex repulsed asexual, and what really bothers me on here and other parts of the internet is how much porn there is. trying to look something up? porn. trying to scroll? porn. trying to read comments? porn. (mostly on twitter, but still) and just, why?????? what could possibly be so interesting about the same species bodies having the same parts? i seriously do not get it

Can you all of a sudden be asexual after 6 years together?
hi everyone, i’m very confused and would like some help, i’ve been with my partner for 6, almost 7 years now and during that time we have been sexually active (she has been the one doing things to me, but a year or two into our relationship she told me she was asexual, somewhere on the spectrum of that, and thought she liked sex, but discovered she didn’t, due to trauma and other things, and doesn’t like to be touched) anyway, i now believe i am in the same boat as her, over the last month or so i just haven’t felt a desire to be touched sexually, i don’t have a sex drive and i really do lack libido, dont get me wrong, we still find each other sexually attractive but i just have no want or desire for her to do anything to me anymore, during having sex with her i just felt numb, no enjoyment, and everything felt very repetitive, i tried to i guess, make myself like it or make myself feel something during it but all i felt was numbness, as well as this, my and my gf have also recently spoken about how we feel like there’s no connection, or spark in our relationship anymore. so it could be partly to do with that, but even when i thought that things were semi different between us, i still felt like this. my girlfriend said it’s not normal for it to take 6 years to realise? so i’m very confused rn. i have really been thinking about it for the past month or so and i have come to this conclusion. i am perfectly happy without sex, or without having my partner do anything sexual to me. we go months without having sex, due to the lack of communication, connection etc and i find it odd how i feel like i’m perfectly fine without it now. if it was to be longer, i wouldn’t of been bothered. but like i say, i guess i thought i liked it, but i’ve now discovered i don’t? it’s very confusing and i would like some advice. thank you!!
tldr; i feel like i am suddenly asexual after 6 years of being in a relationship and being sexually active, due to not liking being touched and lack of connection with my partner.

My dad said I'm not asexual
I was wearing an ace ring and showed it to him all proud and excited and he said he'd "never understand such codes". And then that I'm not asexual, because I find people pretty on the street and "feel something". Then I went on explaining that finding people pretty doesn't mean being attracted to them but I feel like he didn't even listen. I don't know, it made me upset. I love him a lot but he invalidates me very easily and doesn't even understand what it means to me.

Are you bad at picking up on flirtation, what do you do when spotted too late?
I have, once again, realised it was flirtation too late. I work in a community of amazing, generous people, so in my defence, the environment may have helped obscure this one person’s intent.
It started with crowd funding the money I needed to complete my passport application. This person instigated it, but many awesome people chipped in.
Then this person invited me, last minute, to a family dinner at a fancy place and insisted on covering it. My portion may have been $60-$80.
Then the generosity started getting even more extravagant recently.
They bought me books that must have cost well over $100.
They wanted me to play hockey at their birthday event but I’ve never played hockey and don’t own the gear. They found me “free” gear. Used hockey gear is at least $200.
Then they started a go-fund-me to send me to an international event that several affluent community members go to every year, them included.
I didn’t handle it well. I’m not used to this level of generosity. I didn’t know how to respond. I’m expecting the charity to fail and resolve itself.
I have told anyone who asks that it was “there thing they insisted on doing” and that I think it is ridiculous, albeit well meaning.
Their birthday is coming and they posted publicly that any birthday gifts for them should be diverted to funding my trip instead. I didn’t acknowledge it. I feel so embarrassed.
Everyone knows I have a long term partner. This person has never been sexually or physically inappropriate with me. I truly thought they were just a good friend before this crazy generosity. I feel stupid.
This person is a regular and liked fixture in the community. They do generous things for others too (but not to this degree).
I don’t know what to do.
