AAlexis Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hello! I'm so excited! I feel so much better now! I was struggling with dating and my sex life, and I don't have to anymore because there's nothing to fix. I know more than ever what I want and how I work. It was right in front of me all along, but I couldn't make sense of it all. What changed for me was joining a sex positivity group and going to a few of their meetups. The event that first flipped a switch in me was a show I saw. I attended a sex variety show (spoken word and short theatrical performances) where one of the persons who told their story was Grey Ace. There was one point when they said something like, "This is how I am, and it's ok," and I felt something in me release. Like I was holding on to something that I didn't need to, and I let it go. It wasn't until about a month later during some discussions in this meetup group that things really started clicking for me, and now I can see my picture more clearly. It feels great, and I'm really glad to be here! -Adah DemiGrace, DemiRomantic, Autosexual Link to post Share on other sites
Claire1983 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Welcome! I understand that feeling of relief. I experienced something very similar when I realized I could be asexual. Have some cake. Link to post Share on other sites
