Asexuals and Aromantics Unite!

I feel the opposite way, actually. Sometimes I feel kinda into, like, my one thingy, but I only have a curiosity for how actual intercourse is.

But, being pre-everything trans, I think my sexuality would change once I get on hormones.

I'm aromantic. But I don't believe I'm asexual. Do I still count?

edit: wow my memory is so bad I literally posted this last page lmao

Yeah it's Asexuals and Aromantics unite, so just one or the other is fine, as well as both.

Just got a "Happy International Asexuality day" wish today. Is that a thing? (If, yes. HAPPY ASEXUALITY DAY! <3 )

Huh, from what I'm hearing, apparently it is, but it only just started this year! That's cool that we've got a day now.

Hi there!

I definitely consider myself to be an asexual and aromantic person. Never really had any interest in being a part of a romantic relationship (never really had a crush on anyone either), I honestly enjoy being single.

I also consider myself replused by certain things like that naughty crap that makes me sick.

Hi

Hi, welcome!

Welcome! I'm also sex-repulsed myself, so I can definitely relate. It's led to me having a difficult time enjoying "age-appropriate" media.

Same here.

Wouldn't exactly say I'm repulsed by sex or romance, but I certainly don't understand the need to insert it into every single film that is not for kids. I am repulsed by sex in real life, however; don't think I'll ever do it in any of my life, despite my parents' admonitions.

Can I admit something? I've been content with my identity as an aromantic allosexual for awhile now, but I feel like I don't fit into aro spaces, because I'm not ace or repulsed by sex. My ideal would be sex without romance and that seems to be shunned by a lot of people, like "ew he doesn't want romance he only wants sex" and that bothers me. Not experiencing romantic attraction shouldn't make you be seen as a bad person with some ulterior motive.

No it shouldn't. Yeah it makes it harder with Aro and Ace spaces being in one group, it's hard to talk about some things, for Allo-Aros. Though I've found a few Aro focused spaces, that of course include Aro-Aces but you know less of a mixed group, they're rare though.

Hi . Not asexual. But celibate. Seeking asexual for a romantic escapade. We'll fall in love. Tour the world. AND, in every hotel spend hours making... paper mache.

An asexual and a celibate. A marriage made in... somewhere...

To clarify — I'm making jokes above — but I really am a celibate. The real thing. And I am really, actually seeking an asexual female for marriage. Really. (No touring the world, though. And ditto to the... paper mache...

Well, hi.

This thread is kinda slow, but welcome anyway.

Nice to have diversity, with someone who does not do the sex for reasons other than "I just don't want to."

Yeah hi, so you want a het-ace woman? Or a lesbian ace woman I don't actually know your gender now that I think of it.

Im a celibate male. Seeking any woman that I can get. But due to the no sex thing, I guess all I CAN get is an asexual... Romantic celibacy. Another word for masochism...

So a woman who is het ace or bi ace or pan ace?

I think I'm Heteroromantic, as I have no interest in sex, but I do enjoy non-sexual forms of showing affection such as kissing, hugging, cuddling, etc.

Er...hiya! Not only have I recently discovered my identity as androgyne, I'm also asexual! (And possibly aromantic as well...)

Hi

Hello!

So, I'm starting to wonder if I'm ace. The explanation is kinda nsfw but it's in spoilers for the repulsed folks. I do get a rise out of some stuff but none of it is involving "the act" itself. So I don't enjoy normal adult content. I was wondering if it's the same for anyone else.

Also, I was wondering if you can be aroace but still identify as straight or gay or other sexualities like that.

You can be aro/ace and still have aesthetic or platonic attractions to people of any gender.

Also, there's such a thing as a high-libido ace; an asexual person who has a lot of sexual desire but no sexual attraction. I think that's who I am, though my libido has been lowering as of late and will probably be lessened once I'm on hormones.

Also possible to like have kinks and be Ace if that is what you are asking.
