I feel really empty Ever since I realized I was asexual, I have never managed to fully accept it. From my own perspective, it isn't really a problem, but the society we live in makes me feel deeply lost almost guilty. I see everyone else chasing after something, while I have no real direction to follow. I feel like I’m in a state of constant waiting, knowing full well that what I’m waiting for will never come, simply because I don’t experience sexual attraction. This leaves me with a sense of emptiness. I often ask myself, "So, where do I fit into all of this?" It feels as though asexuality is the only sexual orientation that leaves you standing still; objectively speaking, that isn't a bad thing, but in a sex-obsessed society, it’s impossible not to feel different. https://redd.it/1uudt1m @asexualityonreddit

Am I asexual or just scared?? I'm 19F and beginning to question if maybe I fall somewhere on the ace spectrum. I currently identify as a lesbian but I don't know if I can stomach sex. I've only ever dated one person and not even super seriously so I'm pretty inexperienced so that could be a factor, but i do like kissing and definitely felt like I wanted to kiss her. but the thought of being sexual in relationships just kind of scares me. I feel like I'm realizing how much sex takes up space in a romantic connection and it is kind of ruining it for me? the thought of someone seeing me in a sexual manner is terrifying and makes me feel uncomfortable and disgusted. I love the idea of sweet, innocent love, caring for one another and physical affection i just dont know if sex is something that's not for me or if its just my lack of experience that makes me feel this way. im a pretty anxious person so its not unusual for me to feel super scared, i was really really scared of dating before I tried it and kissing before I tried it so I truly dont know if this is a similar thing. please help!!​ https://redd.it/1uu4fvy @asexualityonreddit

I don't know how to feel about this For context, I'm a teen, and I went to the doctor and she asked if I'm sexually active, I said no, and she raised her eyebrows and stared at me for like 10 seconds straight. She was giving me a look like I was lying. I'm genuinely not. I didn't think I had to defend myself and I was honestly confused, so I just stared back at her with a blank expression. She didn't say anything, turned around, and started typing. I don't know if I'm asexual, but I'm not really interested in doing those things. I didn't think I was strange for it until this interaction. https://redd.it/1uu0fir @asexualityonreddit

Hypersexuality is exhausting when you're ace I'm Asexual, I've felt pretty confident about that label since I was 12 (I'm 23 now), but since the start of this year I've developed hypersexuality. >!Literally was masturbating up to like 10 times a day. Now It's more like 1-3 times a day.!< It's so tiring, and makes me feel so bad about myself. >!I know asexuals masturbate, in fact I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be our wheelhouse in this area lol but I personally feel like it's a waste of my time. It's also a hassle because of the laundry needing to be done, and I always feel guilty and gross because I watch porn with it.!< It makes me question who I am, if I'm really ace, etc. Even though the word 'sexy' to describe someone has never been in my vocabulary, and I've never met a single person who made me think 'I'd like to have sex with you'. I feel like it's draining on me emotionally. The libido is too high to ignore, but I don't WANT to be doing things. Does anyone else struggle with this??? I want to be very clear that I know some Asexuals have sex, plenty of them masturbate, etc, etc. This isn't meant to be a hate post or say that Asexuals can't be sexually active. This is just my personal experience with it. https://redd.it/1utvicc @asexualityonreddit

I can't make sexual jokes as an asexual person. This is just a quick thought, but I wanted to share this feeling with you. When I make a sexual joke, I feel like people relate to it (and that I relate to it too), but actually, that’s not the case at all. I just know the terminology—I live in the same world as everyone else—and I find it funny... but the feeling still makes me uncomfortable. https://redd.it/1utpa45 @asexualityonreddit

Believe that autistic people are more likely to be asexual than the general population Is this true or a lie? Most autistic people I've meet online are often hypersexual and consume porn and most are not aromantic, most both real life and the Internet I've meet are very romantic. I don't think this is common. https://redd.it/1utl0bd @asexualityonreddit

Help me understand my possibly Asexual husband (links to original posts below) So I (30F) caught my husband (32M) using an AI app for some sexual conversations and his response was that he was no longer physically attracted to me. Obviously this hurt and we've had some heart felt and healthy conversations since. From our initial conversation it sounded like he was not attracted to my stomach because of weight gain. Last night I asked him what he does find physically attractive in a person and he said he knows what is "nice" but he isn't sure if he is physically attracted to anyone (someone mentioned asexuality I think in my original post about this). I did ask him how this answered how he was physically attracted to me at the beginning of the relationship (which he said earlier in the conversation) and how this related to when he commented on boob pics on Facebook some years ago (I suspect this is the "nice" comment he was referring to earlier). One of our friends a few years ago was talking about her asexuality with us (at the time she was due to get married) and we had a shared conversation about low sex drive and low amounts of sex (we have sex once a month and have been that way for the best part of 10 years and been together 12). He has said from the initial conversation that he still loves me and the physical attraction does not take away from his love for me which I guess is where I understand the least because to me my physical attraction for my husband has only grown over the years with my love for him, like my emotional connection has made me find him sexier as time has progressed. I asked to try and help me understand what he finds physically attractive a celebrity he finds attractive which he also couldn't answer (when we first got together his response was Angelina Jolie from 10 years ago, so now 20+ years ago but he didn't even say her) so this highlights this further I think. So my question is does this sound like asexuality? I understand it is a spectrum. But I do not know much further than this. I myself identify as bisexual however this is unimportant information other than I do understand realising/understanding yourself a bit deeper post marriage. For anyone interested in my original post this link is my update which also contains the link to my first post on the matter https://www.reddit.com/r/Advice/s/2a5AFbj2y2 https://redd.it/1utddc0 @asexualityonreddit

Feeling "too complicated" to ever find a safe relationship as an Ace. I have no one irl to open up to about this </3 Ever since i was around 12(?) I already knew I was ace, I saw the definition and said "Yep this is me.". Years later I still am Ace, the only label I've never changed or removed. So early on on every relationship/situationship/friendship, I'd tell people I'm asexual, though I used to make the most "unhinged"/horrendous sexual jokes according to some(yes I apologized) that doesn't make me any less ace though. One thing I have set in stone is I DO NOT want to have sex, I may be a really touchy-clingy person(I always ask consent before being touchy) that doesn't mean i want to initiate anything intimate. So whenever I approach someone who has romantic intentions towards me (I'm Quoiromantic+Demiromantic and a hopeless romantic) I tend to accept feelings no matter what my state of attraction is to them. BUT i make sure to explain that I am Asexual and Genderfluid, the definitions, what they mean to me. So I'm pretty sure I've done my part in being clear. But each time they seem to ignore my asexuality and my boundaries regarding wanting no sexual acts, due to my humor and my touchyness(?). In their defense though, I don't immediately tell them off, I'm a bit too much of a people pleaser to do so. I've gotten into a couple of SA(?) situations despite the perpetrator knowing well of my boundaries, and I freeze up instead of telling them anything. And after that I go in a horrible mental state and develop trust issues but I never cut them off myself certain situations just happen to happen and they fade away. I realized, people tend to not respect my asexuality, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE INTERESTED IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME. Should I just stop being loud about my queer identity? Should I just "act normal"? I half really want a relationship, half want to go back to an era where i gaslit myself I was solid AroAce. I've realized if I ever want to be in a relationship there would be wayyy too many standards like- My future partner has got to be somewhat queer cause I have a complicated situation with my gender identity. And as much as I love women(possibly more than men) I gotta choose a man because my family would never accept it. I can't possibly tolerate a misogynist that much. Which sums up to? No men in my area/environment! And I have trust issues with online dating apps and have horrible social skills to go out and explore, I'm soo cooked. I'm not even all that a package deal. Should I just accept my fate or fit in to the normal? https://redd.it/1utb2g5 @asexualityonreddit

Feeling uncomfortable with your parents viewing you naked or you viewing them naked Is this common thing among asexuals to feel uncomfortable viewing your parents naked or yourself naked and close the windows and the door for them to don't see it? https://redd.it/1usqyu3 @asexualityonreddit
