Let Them Beet Cake Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi Naomi2002 and welcome!🧁 I'm a newbie also, only been here about a month and I only figured out I was aro ace a year ago when I was 60. You've come to the right place for help, there's lots of great people here who can help you gain some insight. May I suggest a book that was a big help to me, The Invisible Orientation by Julie Sondra Decker. It's a good starting point for understanding asexuality. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silversparkles54 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi, I am new here. So glad I found this site, and information that makes sense of what my feelings in life have been. I'm 54, been married twice, and have children and grandchildren. I have never understood what the big deal was about sex, and why everyone else seemed to put such a high priority on it. I did it in my relationships, because it was expected, and I cared about the other person and wanted to make them happy. In my marriages, I didn't do it as often as they would have liked, though, because it wasn't a priority or physical need for me. Now that I have learned about asexuality, I understand why. I have always been romantic, but at this stage of my life feel happy being single, and not worried about relationships. I am looking forward to reading the posts on this site by others who have similar feelings. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt have to concern myself with two things I had put little or no effort into... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave70 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My Primary Care doctor says, “This is rather embarrassing Dave, but I am 42 and medically you are younger than than I.” I will stay here though, my children are in their forties and I have answers to questions that have not occurred to them yet.

Cookii Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I’m 71 years old and I just found out today that there is actually a name for my sexuality, or lack there of. Asexual. I am relieved, validated and filled with awe. At the same time a bit afraid. I don’t know what the fear is about but am acknowledging it as there. I have no idea where this information will take me in my life but I’m grateful to have it. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
