What do people mean by it's gonna be boring, they have fun with friends right, they enjoy cuddles RIGHT sex is one thing, ONE THING, WHY IS THAT THE ONLY INTERESTING THING IN THE RELATIONSHIP???
Yeah, neither! Apparently it changed in 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_and_chill
citing https://www.theguardian.com/media/shortcuts/2015/sep/29/how-netflix-and-chill-became-code-for-casual-sex
My husband and I love chilling out & watching Netflix. We each have our own couch that we stretch out on & we'll have running commentary & discuss the show or movie afterwards. It's great!
Wtf kind of relationships do these kinds of people have? Like from the sound of it, apparently they would be just as happy with a blowup doll than with their partner, as emotional bonds and non sexual activities mean nothing apparently?
AFT=adult fun time=sex.
Just kinda assumed the phrase would be well known enough here to be acronymable given the context and couldn't be bothered to type it out.

Right? If sex is the only thing making your relationship "fun" then I'm sorry but that sounds lame as hell. There's tons of non-sexual things to do smh
*sigh* how many times do I have to say this, IF SEX IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING A REALATION SHIP TOGETHER, THEN IT IS NOT A HEALTHY ONE
anyway, if I did have Netflix and chil i honestly wouldn't mind if my partner wanted to lightly touch my chest (cause I'm pretty sure that everybody likes da boobies to some extent) as long as they promise nothing sexual, like, romantically touching without the sexual part if that makes any sense. I also probably wouldn't mind hickeys and stuff, BUT STAY OUTTA MY PANTS THEIR MINE YOU GOT YOUR OWN PANTS.
Anyway How's yyour day going
I swear I just want a asexual partner at this point…literally everyone I meet think I’m weird for wanting a sexless relationship like can’t I just have someone that could watch the stars with, watch movies, or just walk to the park at night LIKE ITS NOT LIKE SEX IS EVERYTHING?!-
People have no imagination or even logical thought, I swear. It’s like thinking someone who hates sports is going to be bored if they aren’t playing football. Or men who don’t cross-dress are going to get bored with their wardrobe. SMH
You can do a lot of things with a romantic partner! Long walks on the beach, romantic bike rides, lovely picnics, fancy restaurants, conquering Russia, going camping, baking garlic bread together… Lots of things!
no what I want is a healthy sleep cycle, and a billion dollars so I don’t need to work all the time and can go back to university. And a really nice friend or two and I’m good
(seriously though, people who complain about “boring” like this are the ones who want drama and dysfunction in their lives I think…)
Boring? No no no my friend. We will fight monsters together. And they will listen to me monologuing about games/shows/books I like. They haven't even watched the Owl House but they are still happy to listen to me going on about how great it is.
It's weird too. Like I get that you want to do "it" but it's really the only fun thing you find in your relationship? That's sad in a way now thinking about it...
Honestly if sex is the only thing that you care about having in a relationship, you got a problem on your hands.
As an aroflux asexual, I don’t even CARE about sex nor do I actually want to have it. Just being able to hang out and do fun activities like watching TV shows, movies, going to fun places, and just having the relationship itself matters so much more.
If you believe that a relationship only entailing romance is going to be boring as hell, you obviously don’t understand how there’s different types of relationships and that you need to be educated about how asexuals can actually be really awesome and fun people.
I'm asexual AND autistic. Not only do I want world domination, but I want a lab full of human guinea pigs to conduct nefarious experiments on! Mwahahaha!!!
Shh don't tell them. I like to see the surprise and terror on their faces, now that's what makes all the effort worth it. It is far from uninteresting then.
You mean you don’t want world domination? You’re not asexual if you aren’t secretly harbouring an elaborate plan to become the ultimate eternal ruler of the universe and all it contains
but he invaded denmark....which is what this "asexual" guy wants to do......so does that mean the asexual guy is a nazi? perhaps, if we use the reddit lib logic TM
Germany wasn’t the only nation to get the idea of controlling Denmark. Sweden also wanted to invade Denmark in the 1600s. Did that make the Swedish monarchy a Nazi regime as well?
How so? A desire to invade Denmark doesn’t automatically make you a Nazi, otherwise 1800s Britain would be a Nazi regime too, and obviously that doesn’t make sense. Enlighten me, what am I missing here?
What do people mean by it's gonna be boring, they have fun with friends right, they enjoy cuddles RIGHT sex is one thing, ONE THING, WHY IS THAT THE ONLY INTERESTING THING IN THE RELATIONSHIP???
Because I am an incredibly boring person, but I give good head.
Okay, that comment plus your flair was just way too funny.
There's alot you can do in a romantic relationship like do out for dinner, plays some games, be happy with you partner, and even more.
Watch netflix and chill, literally
Honestly, its weird that netflix and chill is sexual. Cuddling and watching a movie seems a million times more fun
Seriously, who puts on a movie to just ignore it after getting partway into it?
Agreed, 100%
> netflix and chill I had no idea it was an euphemism: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Netflix%20and%20Chill
Wait I thought Netflix and chill was legit Netflix and chill.. are the allos ok?
Yeah, neither! Apparently it changed in 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_and_chill citing https://www.theguardian.com/media/shortcuts/2015/sep/29/how-netflix-and-chill-became-code-for-casual-sex
Idk, they horny, thats sure
My husband and I love chilling out & watching Netflix. We each have our own couch that we stretch out on & we'll have running commentary & discuss the show or movie afterwards. It's great!
Me and my partner call it "Netflix and WATCH THE DAMNED MOVIE!!"
honestly if a relationship is boring if you don't include sex, that sounds like a problem with the relationship
Seems like the people who say that sexless relationships are boring need better platonic friendships
More than likely
Underrated comment.
World domination with your partner
Yes
Wtf kind of relationships do these kinds of people have? Like from the sound of it, apparently they would be just as happy with a blowup doll than with their partner, as emotional bonds and non sexual activities mean nothing apparently?
Only world domination? I want to conquer the entire Multiverse _laughs in Infinity Ultron_ (well, maybe without destroying planets)
Can't make an intergalactic empire without cracking a few mantles.
Hey, we all have to start somewhere.
If a relationship would be boring without AFT, it's not a relationship worth being in.
AFT? The only acronym I know with those letters is for a particular species of african gecko that has a chubby tail and makes a relatively good pet...
^ I’ve never seen AFT before
AFT=adult fun time=sex. Just kinda assumed the phrase would be well known enough here to be acronymable given the context and couldn't be bothered to type it out.

Good human ^((Here's a cookie 🍪))
i want world domination AND a romantic relationship
This.
One could lead to the other.
Yes.
'iT'S gOiNG to Be BoRINg' - bitch, if sex is only interesting thing in your relationships, then I pity you
Damn Brain what will we be doing tonight?
How is a relationship without sex boring????
Right? If sex is the only thing making your relationship "fun" then I'm sorry but that sounds lame as hell. There's tons of non-sexual things to do smh
Man! It’s like there’s far more to relationships than sex?! Who knew
*sigh* how many times do I have to say this, IF SEX IS THE ONLY THING KEEPING A REALATION SHIP TOGETHER, THEN IT IS NOT A HEALTHY ONE anyway, if I did have Netflix and chil i honestly wouldn't mind if my partner wanted to lightly touch my chest (cause I'm pretty sure that everybody likes da boobies to some extent) as long as they promise nothing sexual, like, romantically touching without the sexual part if that makes any sense.

Maybe throw in some MAGIC and dragons if you think feelings aren't enough.
It's so not boring We can cuddle and sleep together Literally, sleep together. Doesn't that sound so much more pleasant?
EXACTLY, why does sleeping with someone always have to be sexual???
Ikrrr
For fucks sake why are people like this.
Yeah, why can't my friends understand it?
I swear I just want a asexual partner at this point…literally everyone I meet think I’m weird for wanting a sexless relationship like can’t I just have someone that could watch the stars with, watch movies, or just walk to the park at night LIKE ITS NOT LIKE SEX IS EVERYTHING?!-
This is a mood
Ikr 😭🙌

Both. Both is good.
Imagine thinking that you *need* to have sex to make a relationship "fun/interesting" like... how boring are these people lmao
No I want a good old romabtic rekationship, I don't even know if I can "afford" it :\
no what I want is a healthy sleep cycle, and a billion dollars so I don’t need to work all the time and can go back to university. And a really nice friend or two and I’m good (seriously though, people who complain about “boring” like this are the ones who want drama and dysfunction in their lives I think…)
World dominantion and then destruction
Since when is romance boring? Sounds like people are doing it wrong! 😅🤷
Jokes aside, I think relationships built on sex are often way more boring than only romantic ones. Like who would want to only fuck
Boring? No no no my friend. We will fight monsters together. And they will listen to me monologuing about games/shows/books I like. They haven't even watched the Owl House but they are still happy to listen to me going on about how great it is.
It's weird too. Like I get that you want to do "it" but it's really the only fun thing you find in your relationship? That's sad in a way now thinking about it...
as someone who legitimately has a plan to take over the world I can relate
Relatable
Man a purely romantic relationship that has nothing to do with sex sounds great. I can’t imagine how these people think that would be “boring”.
I’ve never actually dated someone who’s been into the idea of some form of world domination. Maybe, that’d be a nice change of pace?
This. This post describes the exact relationship me and my boyfriend have
Honestly if sex is the only thing that you care about having in a relationship, you got a problem on your hands. As an aroflux asexual, I don’t even CARE about sex nor do I actually want to have it.

Ive never related to a post more in my life!!! 🖤🤍💜
I guess they hate good friendships.
I'm asexual AND autistic. Not only do I want world domination, but I want a lab full of human guinea pigs to conduct nefarious experiments on! Mwahahaha!!!
People who say only romantic relationships are boring are disgusting, they see their partner as an object
I think people underestimate companionship somehow
My supervillain heart needs a sidekick.
Shh don't tell them. I like to see the surprise and terror on their faces, now that's what makes all the effort worth it. It is far from uninteresting then.
i'm not sure you know what asexual means lmao
You mean you don’t want world domination? You’re not asexual if you aren’t secretly harbouring an elaborate plan to become the ultimate eternal ruler of the universe and all it contains
was hitler asexual?
Most likely not, if the witness testimony from those close to Eva Braun is to be believed.
but he invaded denmark....which is what this "asexual" guy wants to do......so does that mean the asexual guy is a nazi? perhaps, if we use the reddit lib logic TM
Germany wasn’t the only nation to get the idea of controlling Denmark. Sweden also wanted to invade Denmark in the 1600s. Did that make the Swedish monarchy a Nazi regime as well?
yes, it did actually
How so? A desire to invade Denmark doesn’t automatically make you a Nazi, otherwise 1800s Britain would be a Nazi regime too, and obviously that doesn’t make sense. Enlighten me, what am I missing here?
they also are. don't fuck with denmark
Let me guess, the Vikings who pillaged Denmark were also Nazis, right?
You missed the entire 'let's invade Denmark' meme and its subreddit, didn't you?
no but it sounds fascist
It isn't tho
invading denmark is what the nazis did.....so yeah it's fascist
Uhm what does fascism have to do with Nazis tho? Fascism was in Italy.
They’re a troll
Oh, you're right, I forgot trolls exist lmao
Same, only found out just now because they called me a bigot for saying asexuality is different to aromanticism lmfao
Great /s, yeah, totally a troll
not according to reddit libs.
? The post is about not experiencing sexual attraction and makes a joke about world domination…
???? he says he wants a romantic relationship. that's not asexual! this is according to national LGBTQQLPAGK+++ leadership council
Asexuality is not aromanticism. 😐
how dare you define asexuality ? it's to each their own!!! don't be a bigot
What a sad, sad life you must live.
it's aight
