See the definition below taken from the AVEN website: An asexual person does not experience sexual attraction – they are not drawn to people sexually and do not desire to act upon attraction to others in a sexual way. Unlike celibacy, which is a choice to abstain from sexual activity, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are, just like other sexual orientations. Asexuality does not make our lives any worse or better; we just face a different set of needs and challenges than most sexual people do. There is considerable diversity among the asexual community in the needs and experiences often associated with sexuality including relationships, attraction, and arousal.

Please respect all Aces here, Aromantic, Demi or Gray it doesn't matter who you are. Sex positive or sex negative.

I hope your garlic bread is cheesy (unless you are lactose intolerant).

Like i dont seem to get it >.>
Like having just meet ups for Sexual Intercourse is just "weird" >.>

Like i get it if your like having Sex with your Partner atleast because its your Partner :P
But having SEx with STrangers is just like WTF >.>
I dont understand it at all tho :c

I'm in that stage of arospec self-discovery where the lines between platonic, queerplatonic, and romantic are getting very blurry. Could anyone here explain the difference?

They'll be pretending that they're so interested in knowing you but once you tell them their mask falls off.

I hate that most guys are hypersexual, chill, be a normal person and not a wild animal for some time.

i wanted to ask here because maybe you could help me figure it out even if i’m the only one who would truly know.

::: spoiler not detailed sexual mentions(???)

i can feel horny. i can definitely occasionally masturbate and be in the mood for it, but to a specific person? no.

no one really gives me a sexual feeling when i see them. I feel very romantic with my fiancé, but I don’t really feel that sexual towards him, he never makes me feel horny or wet. no one really has. sometimes, the idea of women might, but not that much and not men at all.

:::

Sometimes I tend to feel some type of way during this sort of holiday. So I thought I would give everyone a shout-out. This community doesn't seem particularly active. Not sure if there are bigger ace communities on Lemmy that I'm not aware of.

But I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend. :)

I’m an asexual woman with a boyfriend. Although I don’t particularly like sex, I kind of would like to start a family with him and have kids with him.

I know I could just adopt, but I have no idea if I really have the money for that.

I am aware that me and my boyfriend alone would be considered family, but I also like the idea of getting to raise kids, what they’ll look/act like, being a Mom, etc.

Me: ND, asexual (?aegosexual?demisexual?)

You are seen, you are valid.

-2 to stealth rolls.

I've recently met a man whose dating profile said that he's Graysexual. I tried Googling the term, but it's a bit confusing and I'm hoping to get a straightforward breakdown from the kind folks in this community.

From what I gather, it's a branch of asexuality that sometimes feels sexual attraction. That's a bit ambiguous, though.

I will ask the person directly once we've spoken more, but it will help to have a foundation of understanding beforehand. Thanks ahead of time!

First of i am very sex repulsed. It triggers some trauma (i am very sure i am ace anyway tho).

Seeing people sexualising themselfs or others is the worst for me. it can literally end the day for me, because i have to stay in bed for the rest of the day trying to deal with the emotions. So naturally i try to avoid that. all my friends are very suportive. On the internet i obviously dont go to places where such things might be. today i way watching roadrage videos. should be save enough right? ofc not. because some people gotta but sexualising content literally everywhere. The otherday i looked for chess openings. found a guide who ??? sexualised the chess pieces???

i am just tired. nsfw already has the majority of internet traffic. cant i just have some small portion where i can feel save?

I know i am an extreme case but it just feels so darn isolating. i am scared of joining any discord server. i used to my partner check subreddits (thankfull lemmy seems to be less bad in this regard) before joining. the internet gives potential for so much community especially for an introvert like me. but beeing so very sex repulsed locks me out of those communitys right away.

Thanks for reading. I dont think there is help or a solution. I just needed to rant to someone.
