My aunt shames me for being asexual
I'm so done with my aunt (40F) who constantly shames me (24F) for being asexual. She thinks she's superior because she's super sexual and I’m not. She’s always bragging about her sex life and says I’m “abnormal” for not getting aroused or wanting relationships. It’s exhausting.
Recently, she crossed a major line by bringing a random guy to my room at my house, saying I should marry him. I was like, “Why are you bringing random men here?” but she just ignored me. She’s always trying to set me up on blind dates I don’t want. I’ve told her I’m asexual and happy this way, but she won’t listen. She keeps saying I need to “fix” myself.
What’s worse, she’s heavily misogynistic. She defends rapists and “alpha” misogynist men, always siding with them no matter what. It’s disgusting how low she’ll go to prop up toxic guys. I don’t get why she’s like this.
She only comes around because of my mom, who lets her visit. I’m so sick of her barging into my space and shaming me. How do I deal with this?
TL;DR: My aunt shames me for being asexual, brings random men to my house, and defends misogynists. I’m fed up and don’t know how to handle her.

Is Anybody Worried About the Talk about Increasing Birth Rates?
I would have a child, if the process wasn't so disgusting (don't yell at me, the flair is "sex-averse topic").
But how are they even going to do that? I've heard rumors about how the government is going to heavily tax child-free people/singles, but... What???
And what about adoption? My plan was to adopt a child (I don't like how so many children are without a family), but would that even count?
And what about the incels? They'll just have more incentive and more manipulation tactics to abuse women!
Women are already somewhat seen as 'child-bearers'. I remember how in Germany during the Holocaust, a bunch of propaganda for maternity was around, and not to mention what happened to beautiful women back then. I've met someone whose mother was... I don't want to mention it.
And the asexual men? They're going to be guilt-tripped by their families! I've already hurt stories from asexual men saying how their families say how they aren't 'manly' enough. Males already don't get taken seriously when they're >!assaulted!<, imagine what would happen if the new regulations take place! People are probably going to say >!"She helped you contribute to society since you didn't want to do it yourself."!<
What is going to happen?? What are we supposed to do?!

My best friend doesn't believe me when I tell him lots of asexuals write erotica.
Please tell me about erotic fiction you have written or thought about writing.
He thinks it's impossible because asexuals don't want to have sex themselves.

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!

Does Anyone Else Wish They Could Turn Off Their Sexual Feelings?
Hi all. I describe myself as asexual. I don't have or want sex. I still get sexual thoughts though. But they make me feel incredibly uncomfortable and disgusted. They're almost like intrusive thoughts. I wish I could just turn them off and not have to deal with it. Is anyone else the same?

Anyone else hate being less than fully clothed?
I had a coworker ask me earlier this week if I went around my apartment (since I live alone) naked and I laughed. I explained to her I'd never be caught dead in anything less than an oversized shirt and boxers at the minimum. I can't stand being naked except in the shower. I don't care if nobody can see me or not. It's just so uncomfortable not being covered up.

I get it now. Holy HELL.
So when I was a kid, I was on the internet a lot, and I discovered "content" that wasn't suitable for my age. I got addicted to this content and now I'm working back on the issues it caused and the deeper root behind it.
The content and the way some people act in todays world made me feel like as a gay man, the only type of connection I could get in this world was sex, and that's all I was good for. This led to me avoiding relationships, and to me trying to force myself to behave in a way that wasn't true to me just to please others with a certain image.
Everytime I see someone on Reddit or somewhere else say, "Humans are made for sex," I always get a little ick in the back of my mind. Like, what about asexuals? Who says we are "made" for sex? Sure it's a thing humans can do, but is it a guarantee that it's what we're "made" for?
Then I discovered the term 'compulsory sexuality.' And oh my god, that's what I was a victim to.

I'll never be a grandma
I'm 33 I know that my mom wants to become a grandma I know that I don't want children part of me feels so bad but not that bad...
How is everyone else dealing with this

I don't know how many people need to hear this.
When I tell people I am Ace they tend to tell me "So you don't feel love?" or something like that, and while I don't feel intimate and romantic attraction, I still feel love, like I love my family and friends, I think the word to use here is platonic love, and I don't know how many of y'all need to hear this, for yourselves, or helping you explain it. Like, if I ended up getting a S.O I would love them, but not romantically or intimatly, but platonically, this is for anyone who needs to hear this. I'm not sure what flair to use so I hope I use it correctly.
Edit: It is also fine to have a Libido, while your mind doesn't want to do, that, your body might, and that's ok, I have that too. Just remember, if you think your problems are only affecting you, remember, you are not alone, and everyone on this subreddit is here for you.
