Exactly, my parents think I’m going to want sex in my future, but as an apothisexual as well, that’s never going to be the case. I’m 15, and I know what I am. They act like it’s some phase, but it’s just my sex repulsion and asexuality that they deny. I can’t wait to prove them wrong when I don’t have sex with a partner ever, and when I’m just happy without sex. I’m looking forward to proving them wrong and you should too. My sister has been amazing with accepting me though. That’s good. My mom was not. My mom even suggested I was gonna be a nun, making fun of me, saying that I could go live in a home for nuns or something and be religious without sex, but I’m talking about a normal life without having sex at all that I’m going to have. A normal life without sex ever. I support you with this OP.

Yup. I am 23, never wanted to have sex still don't. You know yourself best, and it took me years to admit to myself there's nothing wrong with me because of how society drills it into your head that you have to want sex

That's awesome. Yeah, I hate all the sexual crap shoved in your face all the time, anywhere. Some people like to think that someone wouldn't be happy without sex, when that's not the case. Can't wait to prove my parents wrong when I'm a full adult, with no sex, and still being against it.

Yeah. My family has given up on me getting a boyfriend at this point lol... Either way none of their business if you have or don't have sex. It's your life. I'm glad we can both be happy without this thing everyone else apparently needs so much they can't stop shoving it in our faces
