AlexK Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I just read an article in Scientific American, Life Beyond Sex, which directed me here. In a world that has placed labels and “shoulds” on everything, it’s good to find this forum. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Welcome, @AlexK! It is great that you ran across that article and that it brought you here. We do have a lot of young people here, but also older people as well--many of us, in our 50s to 80s. Feel free to join in. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pua Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I have been thinking about this topic for a while. I was always told I had a problem. To me, it was just the way it was and I must “have a problem” as doctors and partners told me. Now I know what is going on and feel relieved but nervous also. I’m glad to finally be content in my own body. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Questioning human Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I just found AVEN via an article in Scientific American that showed up in my news feed on my phone. I am 61 and have felt like a freak my whole life. I am just starting to explore ace and it is comforting to know I am not alone in my life experience. I would like to connect with and learn from others here. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomtravel2 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi Alex, I am new here as well and over 50 and just wanted to drop by to see how everything works. I am hoping to meet other asexual people here and meet some new friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Thank you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sally Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Welcome, Alex. You mentioned labels; on reading more within AVEN, you may find that it also has some often-detailed labels tossed around. Don't worry; you may adopt one or more of them or go completely label-less, your choice. My guess is that older members (say 40+) tend toward less labels -- we have had a long enough life that when we finally discover we belong here and we're not alone, that's all we need! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My late partner grew up in Monessen and went to school at Carnegie and was glad to escape the winters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
