like to be clear i love my friends but most of them are so sexually active that me being aroace just makes them treat me like im some teenager with zero experience. like ive BEEN in relationships AND have had sex. its not some foreign concept to me just cuz i choose not to seen those things out much at all 😭
yeah I'm asexual and I get treated the same way by people! which is extra bizarre because I'm literally in a bdsm relationship so if anything it should be the other way around... I think a lot of the fault lies with the fact we have so little asexual representation and the representation we do have is often presented as immature and "pure of heart". but not having sexual attraction doesn't mean we're naive, it's so frustrating
i feel you op, idk why you’re getting downvoted. i used to think i was ace and people used to treat me the same because of it. i was a full grown adult but they would treat me like a child who isn’t old enough to understand sex. honestly it felt like they were babying me and like i couldn’t possibly know about anything dirty or i’d freak out. totally get you
