I know! I wish I had heard about it sooner, mind you I don't think there was much knowledge of asexuality in the 90s.

 

It was such a relief to find out that there was a reason why I wasn't interested in sex.

@Spideyweb If you have any questions feel free to ask either on the forum or DM.

 

I wasn't questioning my identity at the time. I just came across a newspaper article that resonated immensely with me. It mentioned AVEN. I had no hesitation in identifying as asexual going forward.

Might as well say 'hey' to the fellow aces who have some miles on them. ;)   

 

... I assume a piece of cake is coming, but I'm not really a fan. Y'all do brownies as well? :)

Brownies are good in my books.

Welcome, @robnrdbrd! I don't have an emoji for brownies, but I do bake them once in a while (not too often because I eat them all up too quickly). I don't put any herbs in them though.

@lost-the-key, welcome to AVEN 🎂 🎂

 

30's, 50's, chatterbox, JFF and arcade are the best community forums. The others are best for information

Hi!  I'm a 51 year old  very introverted and agendered person. Probably aromantic as well. I'm hoping to become less of a lurker and start interacting with other people. I'm not sure of how it will go,  but I'm so happy to see a grouper of older folks. Sometimes, I feel like an invisible demographic.

I too am not quite 50 yet but my body says I'm old!!!!!!!!!! I also wish we had the option of a chat room. There is something very different about being able to get IMMEDIATE feedback. (Patience really is not one of my strong points) Anyway, I am 49 with 3 kids (yes, I have been married twice but neither worked. Now, I am happily a nonsexual, where was this website 20 years ago???????!!!!!!!!! I will look forward to new posts, I have waited a long time to find people who not only don't think I am crazy, (well at least for my sexual views)but who also share my views!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!!

I am introducing myself here, but I did a longer introduction in other topic. I am Carolina, born in Brasil but I am living in the Netherlands since 2002, so I could say I am 50/50. 

As a teenager I thought I was a nerd, or very late in having sexual interests. I never had any sexual interest, I did have aesthetics preferences but nothing that would attract me. When I was almost 17 I met an online boy, we became friends and this friendship became a relation. Suddenly my romantic and sexual attraction were born! Well, this boy is Dutch and that's why I am in the Netherlands, we got married and we have 2 boys from 9/11 years old. My husband is asexual as well (NO, we didn't know when we met and only years later we found out about beeing ace). 

Couple of years ago I noticed my sexual attraction is almost gone, and the romantic attraction is different. I wouldn't say it is gone but it is not as it used to be. I am not sure if it is just us getting older, or the relation changing. I love him more than anyone and I trust him completely. I know he feels the same way. Truth is I also have romantic feelings with another friend, said that, the feeling is actually more than friendship but less than a feeling for a relation. There is no sexual desire, for sure. 

I don't like labels but I can see myself perfect fitting with demisexual. And I am glad I found a place where I am not the "different" one.

Welcome to AVEN! :cake: :)

 

If you want to lurk thats not a problem. There are long term members that post very sporadically.

Hi @CarolCMBR ! I too fell to in love with a boy in another country and moved to be with them, it’s a heck of a leap to make. I just wanted to welcome you to the forums and offer you some of the traditional cake 🍰
