‼️ARO/ACE PEOPLE‼️ Guys I think I may be ace but I’m not sure. I think back to my crushes and past relationships and while I def had a platonic love for them, the romance and sex always felt boring/forced to me. What’s your experience? (More in comments)

I fantasize about relationships and sex and stuff but when it’s actually happening, I get really disinterested and annoyed, like I don’t want to be touched or clung to or whatever. I also have a compulsion to like every man I meet, which i think is heterocompulsion. I always say I like all genders but do I ?? I can’t tell if it’s indifference or not. When I see attractive people I can never tell if I want to be them (gender envy maybe?) or if I want to be with them.

The hard part and asexuality is that it’s near impossible to confirm the non existence of something

I think a lot of asexuals just use the label, and sometimes they keep it and sometimes they don’t but the community is probably the most accepting of the fact that a lot of people are just passing through as they figure it out and that doesn’t make them any less part of the asexual community for the time they identified with it

so you can be asexual and still have or enjoy sex! asexuality is about sexual attraction so think about other people if you feel turned on by their physical appearance, the desire to touch specific parts of them, if you understand people's obsession with asses, etc aromantic is harder for me to describe, that one I just sort of intrinsically knew
