NickyTannock Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Welcome to AVEN! I'm out as Asexual to my friends and online, but not to my family. I use the direct approach, which is to say that I'm Asexual and that it means I don't experience Sexual Attraction. If you want to come out to your family, you can show them this, http://www.whatisasexuality.com/family-and-friends/parents/ There's also a short book about Asexuality that's free to read online that you can show friends, http://www.asexualityarchive.com/book/ Incidentally, it is a tradition here to welcome new members by offering cake, Link to post Share on other sites

And blamed it on my anxiety, glad to see this forum is a lot more accepting. Link to post Share on other sites

Lichley Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Welcome! Ah the classic age card. It’ll be funny when you’re older, because then you can say “I told you so” in the most annoying tone possible Link to post Share on other sites
