So here's an ace problem: being an asexual voice student, knowing full well that a solid 70% of the music you have to choose from is about a topic you cannot fully resonate with/stresses you out. 

^Me trying to act attracted to someone in theatre.  Apparently touching the person 3 times on the shoulder is good enough.

My roomies music is too loud to fall asleep and not loud enough to overhear him having sex. 

Minus the music and neighbour instead of roomie... But then again, during the past 1-2 weeks he was alone, there were absolutely no sex noises, so I'm hopingwondering whether they broke up. I have never slept better.

On my College course we frequently work with students on other levels of it. Noticed today that one of them had dyed her hair red-brown and I liked it. My classmate thought I was checking her ass out and didn't believe me when I said I was looking at her hair. I was thinking about the amount of hair dye it must have took to dye her very long hair.

 

Definitely not interested in her ass lol. I'm always looking at people to admire their hairstyle, piercings, tattoos, make up, outfit, things they're wearing of shows/movies/bands I like.

 

I wonder how many of them think I'm checking them out.

How does one get looking at a butt out of looking at hair??

I suppose it depends on how long the hair is :P:P

Starting to consider finding some new family members due to this new hobby of theirs of questioning my masculinity and sexuality, and making off color comments about my life and decisions.  Not respecting my lifestyle and decisions, and more or less going out of their way to make me uncomfortable knowing that I take comments literally and dwell for hours on them.

Me: "I'm asexual"

Friend: "You're... A plant?"

Me: *Facepalm*

Me: "No. Just no."

Friend: "But people reproduce, you know..."

Me: "Yeah, yeah, the point is, I'm averse to that."

Friend: "Um... Okay, but I still think you're a plant."

Me: "My. Cells. Do. Not. Contain. Chloroplasts!"

Friend: Fine. But if you are a person, you aren't asexual."

Me (Shouting): "LOOK. IT. UP!!!"

*everybody stares*

Me: "Nothing... go back to whatever you were doing people"

Me, to friend: "I am asexual. Look it up. PLEASE."

Friend: "Um... Okay."

A day later:

Friend walks up to me

Friend: "I still don't get it."

Me, muttering: "Typical."

Friend: "What?"

Me: "Never mind."

I figured this would be an asexual theatre problem, as well. I honestly couldn't keep up music theatre for that reason. It got to the point when I needed to kiss someone on stage, and I just wasn't ready for that. I'm still not ready, in fact.

My friends won't tell me what anything means. They say I'm too innocent. They always come up with excuses involving my innocence. Yesterday they wouldn't tell me because "look at him, he's drinking juice. He's clearly too innocent to find out". It's turned into a bit of a joke, but that doesn't make me less curious about it.

Family:   *barges into my room* Have you got a boyfriend yet?

Me:       ....No?

Family:   Why not?

Me:       ...Because I'm asexual. Just like I've been for the past 4 years.

Family:   I don't believe you. 

Family:   You just haven't met the right one yet!

Me:       ...

Family:   ...

Family:   I will find you a BOYFRIEND!!!

Meanwhile being non-binary makes me a dinosaur according to some random people I was talking to.  Rawr.

I'm probably lucky that I didn't get too many attraction roles.  My ace vibes are probably making professors not assign me those roles.  Once I did get one that got turned into a sex scene at the end but fortunately I didn't end up having to do that part.  I also question the logic of it.  It's a fighting married couple, the guy says that he wants to kill the girl, she says do it then.  Instead he kisses her, they're both turned on, quickly trying to unbutton his pants, and the scene ends.  So glad I didn't have to do that.

That's probably happening to my oldest cousin on my dad's side.  Another cousin thinks that my uncle is trying to get him a girl so he won't be lonely.  He cares too much about his job to have a girl I think.  He tried one time and it didn't really work.  All his younger siblings are married.  Really wonder what's on his mind.

When you forget  sexual attraction and Romantic exsist.

 

When you have to explain a platonic crush.

 

When you people ask you questions that you have no idea about answering and coming out of the line of questioning well.

Talking about sexual things with friends and having them say: ‘oh my god you’re such an innocent little child’ and ‘not like you know what that means’ just because I don’t have sex doesn’t mean I didn’t but go through an ADVANCED months long program of sexual wellness and education where I learned types of sex, kinks, slang, positions etc. I’m not Uneducated or ‘too pure’ I’m just Not interested!

Parents. It means they want grandchildren!

Friends want it more for your happyness.

 

This is just my opinion

This is what I have experienced, although friends may also want it for their own entertainment as well

Asexual Problem. I counsel a student who's of a certain religion where the man can have 4 wives and the husband wants a 2nd wife but the first has to give permission and in order to force her permission he's with holding sex from her and it has her miserable. I had so much trouble relating to that cause I can't wrap my head around the witholding of sex part I had to refer her to the Uni psychologist. There's nothing I can do but I felt bad cause I couldn't empathize.

I don't think you should feel bad because you can't empathize. He is being manipulative.

I'm just reminded of the outrageous story of Lysistrata by Aristophanes.  How can sex be THAT important?

I was in a production of Lysistrata a couple of years ago. I hope never to have to perform this show again.

I once overheard my friends talking about a Fleshlight (sex toy for those who don't know) and asked them what they were talking about, because I had heard 'flashlight' and so was really confused by what I was hearing. They spent ages awkwardly debating whether or not to tell me since I was asexual and probably too pure etc, until one finally whispered in my ear. I casually responded "Oh a Fleshlight! I know what those are, I just thought you said flashlight." It was really weird how awkward they felt talking about it compared to me, the asexual.

Not exclusively an asexual problem but... wanting really badly to make an overture of friendship with some of the opposite gender that you think would be fun to hang around with, but being too afraid of it looking like flirting.  Or worse, you actually do try to be friendly and get a 'sorry, I already have a girlfriend.'  

There's no such thing as being friends with the opposite sex, then.  Silly me.

Being friends with someone and completely missing all the clues when they fall for you. Suddenly, the friendship is over, they are now angry with you and you have no idea what you did wrong. :huh:

Making a friend whose also asexual and worrying that they have a thing for you. It's happened before and that person got overbearing and patronizing, among other things, and this person is pretty similar to the previous person. Having a friend who is also asexual is cool, but I don't want this to happen again. D:

 

Getting asked if it's a date when you go to hang out with someone and then asking if they think it's a date after you say no. I don't know?! I hope they don't think that. Now I have that to worry about.

I left my labcoat in my apt and asked my roommate to grab it. 

Hopefully she didn't take a look around my room (currently a mess) to see a condom box I got from pride on the floor. 

 

It's filled with spare change for the bus.
