Adventurefreak Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hi there I identify myself as a heteromantic asexual. I am glad to have found out this site 😁 I have discovered my asexuality a few months ago. I find that a lot of people don't agree on the fact that you may have strong feelings for someone but not wanting to have sex with them. Anyone here facing the same problems?

Browncoat10 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hey I'm new to the whole thing too. Generally my friends are all totally fine with my asexuality, and understanding of it. I haven't told my parents yet mainly for fear of them not getting it, like you say, but also cos it might make them sad, the fact their daughter will probably be single for her entire life. Basically though, s'all good! I'll tell them at some point. Hope the people who don't agree with what you're saying aren't giving you a hard time. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hello and welcome. True friends accept us for who we are and want us to be happy. They don't question how we feel and their love is unconditional. Link to post Share on other sites
Lichley Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Welcome! I know it's called parent's Guide but I think http://www.asexualityarchive.com/a-parents-guide-to-asexuality/ is really useful for coming out if you want to do that Link to post Share on other sites

Make yourslef at home with us and have some cake Quote I find that a lot of people don't agree on the fact that you may have strong feelings for someone but not wanting to have sex with them. Anyone here facing the same problems? Unfortunatedly yes but I honestly don't care about these voices anymore. Some people can't understand "strange new concepts" they didn't grow up with. Their mind and perception is just too small and blinded to open up once more. Sad but true. They're stuck with mainstream stereotypes and prejudment. So don't waste your time or energy on it. Just keep moving and be yourself. Link to post Share on other sites

Adventurefreak Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 @Browncoat10 Hi there, I hope one day you manage to gather some courage to tell your parents & hopefully they'll accept you the way you are. Me I have some good friends who do not clearly grasp the 'asexual' concept well. I hope they manage to do so too. Have a nice day Link to post Share on other sites

I find that a lot of people don't agree on the fact that you may have strong feelings for someone but not wanting to have sex with them. Anyone here facing the same problems? Hey! I identify as homoromantic asexual, but I might be bi or demi. Idk. I lean towards girls is the point. Anyway, I had my discovery about a year and a half ago romance-wise, but that made me pay even more attention to my lack of sexual desire. I recently had an experience where someone thought it would be like impossible for me to meet someone likeminded. Kind of baffles me that people don’t think it’s possible to date someone without having sex. Link to post Share on other sites
