PeachesMay Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hello, my name is Peaches. Or at least my nickname is and has been since high school. I just turned 30 this May. For a long time I’ve been struggling with my sexuality. What am I? I don’t feel straight, and people would tell me that being bi is just a phase, and that no romantic relationship can be without sex. I still feel a struggle, but recently, I feel like I’m finally settling on what I am. That I might be asexual, but feel a romantic attraction to males and females. I hope to learn more and discover more, whether I am or not. I even started talking to my therapist about it. So, it’s good that I found this place where I can hopefully feel comfortable discussing such and make friends too. Thank you for your time! Link to post Share on other sites
Marrrija Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hello @PeachesMay A grand WELCOME to this Forum. Questioning is the best way to get answers! So, ask away. Or, if you simply need a pat on a shoulder, or someone to freak out for you: By, the way.. @Dreamsexual ..it's just about right time for a slice of that cake. Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hi peaches, welcome to aven, hope you do feel comfortable talking here and make friends. While I'm here, I'd like to point out a number of useful threads and places on the AVEN. Most important is the site Terms of Service (ToS). I suggest you read them over and feel free to PM me or another mod or admin if you have any questions. Same goes for general forum questions (and you can also use this thread if you'd prefer). That said, if you have any questions about a specific forum, you should ask the moderator of that forum (you can find a list of who mods where here). I'd also recommend poking around each forum to see what each one is about if you haven't already -- it'll get you used to the site and who the regulars are Here's a few more Welcome-related or newbie links you might find useful: A brief guide to the forums Welcome Lounge mini-manual Asexuality FAQ Welcoming other members Welcome to Aven, I hope you like it here Link to post Share on other sites
NickyTannock Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @PeachesMay Welcome to AVEN! You could be a Biromantic Asexual. Asexuality is a lack of Sexual Attraction, which I define as leading to the desire to have sex with someone. But there are other types of attraction besides Sexual Attraction. There's Romantic Attraction, which I define as leading to the desire to have a romantic relationship with someone. There's Sensual Attraction, which I define as leading to the desire to have intimate non-sexual physical contact with someone, like kissing or cuddling. There's Aesthetic Attraction, which I define as leading to the desire to appreciate someone's aesthetic beauty. There's Platonic Attraction, which I define as leading to the desire to have a deep friendship with someone. And more. Incidentally, it is a tradition here to welcome new members by offering cake, and here's a Peach Longevity Cake, Link to post Share on other sites
Lichley Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Welcome! Asexuals can still experience romantic attraction, and a lot of others, just not sexual attraction specifically. There's a cool little sketchcomic that I recommend you check out : https://www.deviantart.com/secondlina/art/Sketchcomic-types-of-Attraction-298804729 Link to post Share on other sites
