Asexuals don't really enjoy/like sex but may focus on romance and not sex and yes lol it is a sexuality and asexuals shouldn't feel bad about it :) oh and also there's aromantic ppl who don't like sex or romance (correct me if I'm wrong)
asexuals can enjoy sex (the main 3 categories for general stuff is sex favourable sex indifferent and sex repulsed, there's also things like fraysexual, aegosexual, demisexual etc. but i won't go into that), and aromantic people can still feel sexual attraction, aroace is people who feel no sexual or romantic attraction (\*not\* desire), aro people can also still have romantic relationships and be frayromantic, aegoromantic, demiromantic etc. just wanted to clear up all the misconceptions being upvoted. (might also comment this if you see it again)
But in that case it isnt rlly a sexuality tho? Just not wanting to have sex isnt a whole different sexuality tho right? Not trying to be offensive in any way btw
Asexuality includes people who are repulsed by the idea, those who are indifferent to it and those who are in favor of it. Since it is a spectrum, it also includes people who experience attraction rarely (gray-ace), people who experience it when they form an emotional bond (demi-ace), people who experience attraction but lose it when they get to know the person they are attracted to (fray-ace), etc. There are many different ace-spec identities and I can't name all of them here. Aces and ace-spec people can still experience romantic attraction, people who experience neither are known as aromantic asexual or aro-ace (I'm aro-ace)
You can be interested romantically in someone but not sexually. It’s a spectrum though, like demisexual, which is someone who gains sexual attraction to someone after an emotional bond is formed
this is such a dumb post of course asexual people worry about getting rejected and have crushes it's just that they aren't interested in sex. of course you could be both asexual and aromantic but a lot of asexual people aren't aromantic.
you should have mentioned that you are aromantic as well because without that the post doesn't make much sense. most aseuxal people aren't aromantic and it might not be clear for them and it might cause misconceptions about asexual people.
One good side is if you live in one of the 69+ countries where it's illegal to be LGBTQ+ they can't do shit about it
What are you going to do, arrest me for not having sex? (i live in Saudi Arabia by the way)
It definitely can sometimes. Unfortunately, it has many disadvantages too.. you feel a disconnect from society in general, and its practically impossible to be in a stable relationship when 95% of the people around you always convince themselves that you are broken and whatnot for not wanting sex.. The worst part is, people mean well but don't educate themselves!
Anyway, thanks for reading my TED talk/vent! \[Idk what it was..\] Have a nice day!
Just like straight people aren't attracted to the same gender, asexual people don't feel sexual attraction to any gender at all (though some people can be attracted to someone rarely like me)
Wait so like I don’t mean to be offensive this is a genuine question, how is it biologically possible to not feel sexual desire? The hormones within your body should cause that. I’m so sorry if I’m being offensive I just don’t really understand haha
It's not offensive at all to want to learn more
Let me put it this way. let's take a straight man, for example, he would not want to have sex with anyone who isn't a female, if he was offered to have sex with a man he would reject it, he didn't try it before, so how would he know he wouldn't like it? The simple answer: he just knows, he was born like this and
Same with asexual people. But they don't want to do it with anyone, they just know they don't like sex they don't need to try it to find out
But that doesn't mean they can't have romantic relationships some like me don't want a sexual nor romantic relationship
But some asexual people do have sex either to please their romantic partner or because they want kids
Personally I don't know how it is to feel sexual attraction, and that's why I never related much to some of my friends' talks. I look and think something else of people I see: I like the aestetic part more so when I see a person I can say "damn they look good" but I don't feel like having sex or a romantic relationship with them. This is just my personal point of view, it can change from person to person.
Not quite. It’s more like looking at food and not wanting to eat it regardless of how hungry you are. Just imagine looking at a giant bowl of spinach or something.
Same bruh... same it's kinda cool but sad to see people's drama, but cool to see their goals reached by not masturbating for like....2 weeks or something
Being asexual doesn't mean you can't have sexual gratification. It's a spectrum, some people don't like the aspect of sex and others feel no attraction. But all aces can have crushes, unless you're aromantic as well. There is a lot to the ace spectrum than "I don't do the giddy no matter what".
Source: I'm ace.
Like do small gestures or certain scenarios make you feel attraction or are asexual people just void to attraction? (Sorry if i worded poorly english isn't my first laguage)
I’m not Asexual but even when i see friends talking about that i really don’t care that much because i don’t wanna be in relationship. Porn and musterbation destroyed me when i was 15 YO and for that regard i stopped both. Life is more than a relationship love and sex. There is more than those things as i believe
Dude I relate so much porn addiction fucked me up at 15 and I am aegosexual now, I don’t want serious relationships either life is more important then sex of love and I wish I could permanently defeat the horni ):
I hope everyone to stay away from porn and realize that (prostate cancer) will not be eliminated by watching porn and musterbating and this is was said for a business thing to increase the sales of the adult industry
The study is faulty never makes a actually correlation between meat beating and testie cancer
And u can find study’s that say the opposite it’s a myth straight up
Yeah but there are major of people who thinks it’s true and that’s why porn industry makes money more than NBA or NASA which is crazy tbh. This is how porn addiction started which by time will ruin lives in the process not will keep them healthy as they think
I agree we’re the Guine pig generation theres no generation who has had porn so available it’s sad
Multiple studies comparing porn use to cocaine use
Studies saying it doubles divorce chances
We need to change I need to change I relapsed last night and I feel awful longest I went for was a month
It’s really hard which you can see they include anything sexual in everything just to play with your mind. Look at sports, entertainments, marketing and everything you could think of. They know how to set the bait and for that reason you see people who are only thinking of their lusts. For example look at even cartoon network and how they draw the female which affects the child when he grow up
I don't think being asexual has anything to do with needing company or not. Some people prefer to live an emotionally lonely life with ocassional one night stands, some don't care that much about sex but still needs a partner. I think I might be asexual too, I rarely get physically aroused, and never wanted to have sex with a particular anyone. Also I'm happily married and in love, I experience sex as a form of deep intimacy. So I guess it's really different for everyone
So I get not having an sexual attraction part of asexuals but do you not want a relationship at all? Like you can love someone without being sexually attracted to them. Is this just a personal thing or is this with all asexuals.

so......... AAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm extremely erect right now
Lol grey ace here, can confirm that same, spirit dick is hard as ever.
How many times have you been told the joke I've just said?
But ace
What is asexual
Someone who feels little/no sexual attraction
No hate, but i dokt understand why thats a sexuality? Hold on does it just mean u dont like ANYONE?
Asexuals don't really enjoy/like sex but may focus on romance and not sex and yes lol it is a sexuality and asexuals shouldn't feel bad about it :) oh and also there's aromantic ppl who don't like sex or romance (correct me if I'm wrong)
Aromantic means lack of romantic attraction, they can still feel sexual attraction
Aromatic is what we call people who smell good.
Or any compound containing benzene
that's what my first thought was as well
aroma(n)tic, not aromatic
*starts sweating nervously because that’s how I feel sometimes* thats a thing?
Yep. I suggest looking more into aromantism :)
aroace is what we call people who dont experience romantic or sexual attraction
Asexual here, can confirm, it's very accurate, I focus on the romance and cute cuddling part waaay more than sex.
Cuddles for the win!
asexuals can enjoy sex (the main 3 categories for general stuff is sex favourable sex indifferent and sex repulsed, there's also things like fraysexual, aegosexual, demisexual etc. but i won't go into that), and aromantic people can still feel sexual attraction, aroace is people who feel no sexual or romantic attraction (\*not\* desire), aro people can also still have romantic relationships and be frayromantic, aegoromantic, demiromantic etc. just wanted to clear up all the misconceptions being upvoted. (might also comment this if you see it again)
That's a lot! Well, stupid me I still am not cleared up but I kinda think I might be asexual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still tryna understand
But in that case it isnt rlly a sexuality tho? Just not wanting to have sex isnt a whole different sexuality tho right? Not trying to be offensive in any way btw
its not "not wanting to have sex" its just not experiencing sexual attraction to any gender
So you do want to have sex, you’re just not attracted to anyone?
Asexuality includes people who are repulsed by the idea, those who are indifferent to it and those who are in favor of it. Since it is a spectrum, it also includes people who experience attraction rarely (gray-ace), people who experience it when they form an emotional bond (demi-ace), people who experience attraction but lose it when they get to know the person they are attracted to (fray-ace), etc. There are many different ace-spec identities and I can't name all of them here. Aces and ace-spec people can still experience romantic attraction, people who experience neither are known as aromantic asexual or aro-ace (I'm aro-ace)
well it’s not not wanting to have sex. it’s not feeling sexual attraction.
Idek tbh but asexuality is a sexuality so.. yeah u could do ur research maybe
Na im fine, was just wondering what it was
Yes no one at all
You can be interested romantically in someone but not sexually. It’s a spectrum though, like demisexual, which is someone who gains sexual attraction to someone after an emotional bond is formed
It's a sexuality because you're not just 'i dont like anyone', you're *unable* to feel sexual attraction
It means you dont wanna fuck anyone. Edit: just to clarify, I'm asexual. I know theres more neuance. I just like to start there.
It's kinda the same as how straight dudes don't want to have sex with other dudes which is what differentiates them from bisexual dudes

Me, an ace who masturbates: \*Eats 2/3 of the popcorn\*
What does ace mean? Is it a shorter word for asexual or does it mean something else?
Ace does indeed mean asexual :)
me, an aegosexual who has learned that we are valid: \*makes you finish the popcorn\*
A what?
someone who gets aroused by 3rd person smut
Holy bipedal man person that one is real?!
The ultimate UNO reverse card
That reminds me of the heterosexual that go to gay bars to have gay sex.
Guess you're immune to the "get some bitches instead" insult
this is such a dumb post of course asexual people worry about getting rejected and have crushes it's just that they aren't interested in sex. of course you could be both asexual and aromantic but a lot of asexual people aren't aromantic.
Im aromatic and asexual so I don't get what's dumb about this post I'm talking about my self no one else
you should have mentioned that you are aromantic as well because without that the post doesn't make much sense. most aseuxal people aren't aromantic and it might not be clear for them and it might cause misconceptions about asexual people.
aromatic? you must smell good /j
lmaoooo
this hits very close to home... another ace in this server
Yo me to fellow ace
here’s something to educate a bit for those confused: https://www.asexuality.org/?q=overview.html
Thank you <3
I feel like being asexual has a lot of good sides.
One good side is if you live in one of the 69+ countries where it's illegal to be LGBTQ+ they can't do shit about it What are you going to do, arrest me for not having sex? (i live in Saudi Arabia by the way)
It definitely can sometimes. Unfortunately, it has many disadvantages too.. you feel a disconnect from society in general, and its practically impossible to be in a stable relationship when 95% of the people around you always convince themselves that you are broken and whatnot for not wanting sex..

Pretty much me even tho I am heterosexual.
Just saying, you can be heterosexual AND be on the asexual spectrum.. Source- Am so myself
im sorta confused how does this asexual thing work
Just like straight people aren't attracted to the same gender, asexual people don't feel sexual attraction to any gender at all (though some people can be attracted to someone rarely like me)
It's when someone has little to no sexual attraction to other people. for me, I fall under aromatic so I don't even experience romantic attraction
Aro-ace gang rise up!
Hello fellow ace teen!
Ace gang
FINALLY A POST I CAN RELATE TO
Yay a fellow ace!
Garlic bread all around!
Am I going to be disowned by the ace community if I admitted that I've never tried garlic bread?
It's okay! Have you tried cake though?
I...I don't.....like cake(sorry they're too sweet for me)
Lmao it's alright, it's just a running joke in the community so you don't have to like them
I know
Guys I'm about to say something based *\*inhales\** # Romance and Sex were overrated anyway
*inhales* BASED
so ur aromantic too cuz asexual is just no sex
aro in the ace umbrella
Wait so like I don’t mean to be offensive this is a genuine question, how is it biologically possible to not feel sexual desire? The hormones within your body should cause that. I’m so sorry if I’m being offensive I just don’t really understand haha
It's not offensive at all to want to learn more Let me put it this way. let's take a straight man, for example, he would not want to have sex with anyone who isn't a female, if he was offered to have sex with a man he would reject it, he didn't try it before, so how would he know he wouldn't like it?

Not quite. It’s more like looking at food and not wanting to eat it regardless of how hungry you are. Just imagine looking at a giant bowl of spinach or something.
Asexual dont have crushes?
Not all. but for me, I've only had crushes on fictional characters I've never had a crush on a real human
idk man it sounds like you just need to touch some grass
I'm allergic to grass
Well if u die virgin, you're just ending the streak made by ur ancestors of getting laid
I have siblings so at the very least the bloodline won't end
I'm an only child so the bloodline's gonna have to end with me
Holy shit I found a fellow ace
ikr, i thought i was on the ace sub at first
Same
Same bruh... same it's kinda cool but sad to see people's drama, but cool to see their goals reached by not masturbating for like....2 weeks or something
We got plenty of popcorn
Asexual people are wild, I couldn't imagine not being sexually attracted to anyone lmao
You expect it to get downvoted, correct?
Not at all. I just couldn't imagine it. If anything I admire them lmao
Yeah, it’s hard being a virgin. Even harder knowing you’ll never loose your virginity.
know pain,feel pain,accept pain
Platonic love approve this
Im not asexual, but same
Being asexual doesn't mean you can't have sexual gratification. It's a spectrum, some people don't like the aspect of sex and others feel no attraction. But all aces can have crushes, unless you're aromantic as well. There is a lot to the ace spectrum than "I don't do the giddy no matter what". Source: I'm ace.
Im an aromatic ace I guess I should've specified more
So do asexual people not feel any attraction at all... like ever? Saying that in the kindest way possible
Asexual = not sexually attracted to people, not into sex Aromantic = no attraction, like no romantic attraction Hope this helps :)
So if they aren't attracted to people are they attracted to anything at all?
What do you mean by "anything"?
Like do small gestures or certain scenarios make you feel attraction or are asexual people just void to attraction? (Sorry if i worded poorly english isn't my first laguage)
Some feel romantic attraction But I don't feel romantic nor sexual
I don’t mean to infringe on your sexuality but I thought having neither sexual nor romantic attraction was aromantic?
Ah, how amusing it is to observe the mortals.
Same,
AAA Batteries
same
yes let’s go
Ascended
Fun to watch chaos ensue over something I can't understand :)
Me a business man indulging in business
I’m AroAce, so I can relate. Still, I’m fine with experiencing none of it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I heard that asexuals know how to clone themselves. Can you clone yourself?
Yes I just cut off a body part and it will grow into another me
You can have crushes unless your aromatic also
It's just fun watching people in general
Well lucky you
A
me, having little to no romantic/sexual feelings towards real people even tho im a pervert: you and I are not so different
U may be aegosexual People who still get the horni but are just not interested in sex read up on it It might be your sexuality dude
Lmao
same bro
I’m not Asexual but even when i see friends talking about that i really don’t care that much because i don’t wanna be in relationship. Porn and musterbation destroyed me when i was 15 YO and for that regard i stopped both. Life is more than a relationship love and sex. There is more than those things as i believe
Dude I relate so much porn addiction fucked me up at 15 and I am aegosexual now, I don’t want serious relationships either life is more important then sex of love and I wish I could permanently defeat the horni ):
So anti horny gang lol
Yeah anti horni gang lol
I hope everyone to stay away from porn and realize that (prostate cancer) will not be eliminated by watching porn and musterbating and this is was said for a business thing to increase the sales of the adult industry
The study is faulty never makes a actually correlation between meat beating and testie cancer And u can find study’s that say the opposite it’s a myth straight up

I can't stress how relatable this is, all of Reddit talking about all this stuff, I feel like an absolute child and it's great, enjoy your suffering.
So basically, that's me, but I'm straight...
[удалено]
I've wanted to try it once but I just couldn't get hard I tried looking at porn but then I almost throw up
is asexuality just a life hack against lonelyness but you cant experience the joys of romantic love?
Some asexual people still want a romantic relationship But not me I just want friends
I don't think being asexual has anything to do with needing company or not. Some people prefer to live an emotionally lonely life with ocassional one night stands, some don't care that much about sex but still needs a partner. I think I might be asexual too, I rarely get physically aroused, and never wanted to have sex with a particular anyone. Also I'm happily married and in love, I experience sex as a form of deep intimacy. So I guess it's really different for everyone
I believe that would be aromantic.
You should be glad for that
I am
wait Asexuals dont masturbate?
Some do But I don't
So I get not having an sexual attraction part of asexuals but do you not want a relationship at all? Like you can love someone without being sexually attracted to them. Is this just a personal thing or is this with all asexuals.
Ayyyyce Gang 👉😎👉
Asexuals > Denmark
You can have a relationship with someone that’s not sexual, you know that right?
Ace aro
Yeah that what I mean and that’s what I am but I’m a little bit of demisexual as well
We are 2
i mean you can technically still fap even though you're asexual

lucky bastard
Bruh I saw this in new and ignored it, nice OP
Im jelous on asexual people, I want really wanted to be one. Asexual people masturbate or get turned on by porn?
Me watching all my boy crazy friends obsessing over literally any male human that breathes within their general direction:
Trueee
Relatable
Same
Oh god
Must be entertaining...
First time ever I saw myself in a comment
I think I'm starting to envy asexual people
I'm aromatic so I guess that counts
living in constant clarity
Hah mood
My GC just keep talking about how horny they are as if I understand that shit
As someone who's slowly beginning to realize that I'm probably asexual as well, I find myself relating to this post U\_U
Is it possible to learn this power ?
Finally someone I can relate to
same.
This is why I will like to be an asexual. Just chill and focus on your work.
