Tanwen Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Welcome @Glamourgirl1 . I divorced in 1982 - sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone to share things with, but I've become used to the solitary life, I think I've likely become selfish over the years and would find it hard to start considering another person 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Triskedog Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hi. I’m mid 40s and have only recently realised that I’m asexual. It was the series Bojack Horseman that brought it to my attention. Now that I’ve had time to seriously think about it I realise that I’ve always been this way. Sex to me has always felt like a chore. However I am sex positive. My current relationship is unconventional and allows me to engage in sexual activity without it being uncomfortable for me. I’ve told my partner about my recent discovery and, while initially very confused about what it means for us, has accepted it. I’m lucky I think in the nature of our relationship as I’m definitely pro romantic. Anyway just wanted to introduce myself. Ps I’m in Britain, female and mid 40s. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Welcome and , @Triskedog! You might be interested in the thread for asexuals in their 40s (pinned in the "Older" forum). There's also one for "over 50", which is quite active and even some of the younger aces participate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avian Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi! 43 here. I recently introduced myself on the Welcome pages, but wanted to say hi here as an older Ace! This definition is new to me and I'm still trying to figure it all out. I hope to make new friends online if I can't in "real life". 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I know what you mean. and I'm definitely different to everyone else I know It took me a long time to accept I was asexual, when I did I jumped into it and went to a local meet to me, met some great people and talking with people face to face that experienced similar things really helped me. If you want to ask questions or just talk most people here are friendly, if you don't want to post publicly you can always send me (or someone else) a PM (there's a thread elsewhere where people post if they are happy to receive PM's) regards Andrew 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mOonday04 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hello. I'm new here too. I'm 30 and still bad at introductions. i've never been in a relationship, and never been sexually attracted to someone. It's like anyone I meet goes straight to my friendslist. Though I do want to have an romantic relationship but meeting people always feels like they wanna do you at the end of the day. It scares me. I've got no preferences on gender but I've never been curious on having sex too. i don't really know. But nice to meet you all. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DianeE Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi - new to this kind of thing. And by "thing" I mean forum posting (?) and telling letting others know that I'm asexual. I had a hard time "figuring out" where I fit on the whole sexual spectrum, thanks to my adult daughter, I now realize there are others like me. I'd guess I am an "older" asexual, but only in numbers. I'm 49 but definitely don't act 49! A question I have: I'd like to date/find a special person. How do asexuals find others like them? Does that make sense? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
