      I started dating an allosexual person a month ago. They told me they're OK with us not having sex and I told them I'm OK with them having sex with other people, which I am sincerely fine with. I really don't want to have sex, and I think I would be really uncomfortable with it. They haven't done anything scummy like try to pressure me into having sex, and they're very good about paying attention to my comfort level in bed and checking in with my boundaries. I don't know a single other asexual person dating an allosexual person irl, and I think it would help me stop feeling so anxious about it if I could hear from some ace people dating allosexual people who are making it work. Thanks.

      Story time with Cole!
      One time I had something knocking on my glass window of my door at my house and I saw a bird just attempting to attack its' reflection and then a few days later it was attacking a mirror for a tv.

      One of my friends may be Asexual too!
      Either that, or she is just far more excited about cake than the mention of human reproduction.

      Just saw the live adaptation of Frankenstein with Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch. My word! It was amazing!
