It all makes sense

Hi I'm Josh,

 

So... I am not sure how I found myself to this website but I am so glad that I did. I am a 35 year old Male that identified as being gay, but now finding out about what asexuals are and now understanding it more I can't really identify as being just gay. I never really felt like I fit in as being straight or gay. I thought I was broken. Not really having a word, feeling, or understanding why I was born this way.

 

Over the years I have had the opportunity to have sex more than once, but it never felt right. I never understood why I didn't care if I had sex or not. When I would inform my partner that I only was into non-intercourse activities. Almost all of them just thought I was nervous or just not into them. I tried everything from watching porn to BDSM, nothing seemed to work.

 

According to the world I'm a virgin. According to me I am just a human, not weighed down by labels. The people have judged me, ridiculed me, called me a freak. I now understand that I am not broken, I am not a freak, I am not alone...

 

I now Identify as being Homoromantic, it all makes sense. No longer do I have to hide, No longer do I have to feel alone...

Hmm...perhaps, these threads: https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/116148-asexual-men-musings/ and https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/141951-asexual-women/, the Asexual Relationships Forum (https://www.asexuality.org/en/forum/7-asexual-relationships/ ), or just the regular chat that's located on the bottom of the page.

 

I'd guess that the reason why there doesn't seem to be a specific thread for hetero-romantic aces is because they're the majority of aces, here (and there's already a whole forum for Asexual Relationships, where hetero-romantics discuss their relationships). So, many threads/conversations are from hetero-romantic aces.

 

There aren't as many homoromantic, aromantic, etc. aces, so point of those threads for them are so that they can find others like themselves, more easily (since most on the forums are hetero-romantic).
