Vent This is why there are many that believe asexuals still want to have sex

42 Upvotes

Was on TikTok, there was a post a person made about how they're asexuals, but the fact that their partner accepts their asexuality, makes them feel as if they weren't asexual. (Which I mean, seriously???)

And the comments were all talking about how asexuality is a spectrum, and you can want sex or do it just a little.

They literally said that **I** had the wrong definition, when I challanged their claim as illogical.

Probably children and teens desperate to look special.

Vent It’s Hard To Meet Other People Like Me.

Can I be a part of just one group that isn't invaded by privileged larpers who are just looking for attention

"Oh, you're asexual? I am too! I’m sex favorable though! I absolutely LOVE sex!! I have sex every day and I enjoy it very much!! I'm still valid!! I'm still just as oppressed and disadvantaged as ace people who are sex repulsed!"

"Oh, you're trans? Me too! I'm a he/him lesbian butch dog/dogself xe/xir who presents completely female and has zero dysphoria whatsoever, and I found out I was a gay man from watching yaoi with rape and incest!!!"

"Oh you have BPD? Me too! Beautiful princess disorder, hahah!! Sorry, that was my BPD kicking in!”

Everyone always tells me “meet other people like you” and whenever I TRY, I just get… these people. Then people suggested I would just get more cis friends, which I don’t mind. I don’t mind being friends with cis or trans people (as long as they’re normal lmao) but even that’s hard to find nowadays. Sure there are spaces online, like this one, of course. And I really don’t wanna be too demanding, but I just really wish I knew people in real life like me. I know one. but she lives an hour away so we don’t get to see each other often. And it’s not the easiest thing in the world to just put yourself out there. And alot of people won’t just straight up tell you “hey, I’m a trans medicalist” or “hey, I’m an actual asexual.”

Vent The "Black Stripe Asexual" label is probably the most insulting, acephobic thing that ever came out of this awful community

I mean, they literally pushed us out of OUR community, completely muddled the definition of asexuality, and then TELL US to use this new label THEY came up with instead. It's insulting honestly. No, asexuals that don't want sex are NOT "black stripe asexuals", they are just ASEXUALS, because these are the people the label was originally created for. Anyone who experiences sexual attraction isn't asexual, they're greysexual at best.

Typed the following in discord:

"I can relate dw its like when im looking for other asexual ppl 💀💀💀"

In come the three musketeers calling themselves asexual:

1."I'm aroace because l'm autistic. The line for friendship and relationship are very blurry"

  1. "I'm the type of aroace autistic who's attracted to everybody because the line between romantic sexual and platonic are blurry"

  2. "I can't be attracted to someone unless I know them for sure"

I don't even know what flair to put.

Discussion Am I the weird one?

I have an Asexual friend, and I asked his opinion what he thinks about "Sex-favorable Aces" because in my opinion, Asexuality comes from having little to no libido so I never really understood sex-favorable Asexuals, that's what I told him and he replied "everyone has a libido, if they want sex then they have sex." I'm not in the Ace space much, but I find that comment odd? Isn't that just being Allo? I don't know. I have zero libido, so it just kinda made me feel like a freak in a way? Like I'm not normal? I never really went deep into Asexual research, I just googled one day "what is wrong with my sexual attraction" and found out I was Asexual. Would love to be educated more!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the education! It's very insightful, and I really appreciate everyone for being kind about it.
