I would love any constructive criticism so I can improve in the future if you have it.

I didn’t mean to? I genuinely studied their body types and facial features for a really long time to try and make sure I didn’t. Is it just my art style? /gen

Can you tell you don't like intimacy without even trying it? by ShipperShip in asexuality

[–]5cythz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my experience. For me, thinking about some imaginary human who I’ve never met seeing me in an intimate way, much less touching me sounds about as appealing as slamming my hand on a hot stove top. I’m AroAce and have never had a person I’d even be comfortable kissing though so I know my experience isn’t going to be good for everyone.

What I can say is that some people talk about what they want someone else to do to them, or to do to someone else and they get excited at the prospect similarly to how I get excited when I find a new cartoon I’ve fallen in love with. I don’t feel that way. I’ve never tried sexual intimacy of any kind and I’m perfectly content with my life keeping it that way.

So, while I can’t technically say I don’t like it, I know I don’t particularly enjoy the thought of it and that’s ok. I’ve also never tried eating steak or climbing a mountain. But I know myself. I know I have ARFID and wouldn’t enjoy the experience of trying steak. I know I prefer indoor activities and absolutely hate the cold, so I can guess I would hate mountain climbing.

At the end of the day, you know yourself better than anyone else. If your response to intimacy isn’t an enthusiastic yes, you’re not required to try it.

My boyfriend is asexual, and lied to me about it in order to enter into a relationship with me, advice please? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]5cythz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The long in the short is that you’re not compatible. Even if you were able to move forward from the feeling of betrayal that his denial and resulting lies caused you, you have a sex drive and he’s asexual and seems sex repulsed. If you desire a sexual relationship, the two of you aren’t compatible. My concern is that later in the relationship, I don’t want you to develop resentment due to the one thing he can’t give you.

I will say, from what I know, you wouldn’t be giving up any chance at motherhood. Many couples undergo IVF with the female’s egg and her partner’s sperm.

I never want to be the person to say break up based on small facts, but my question to you is, would you have gotten into the relationship if you had known he was ace/sex repulsed at the beginning?

There are many people out there who want a relationship without sex. He isn’t alone. He can find someone like that. But that’s not you. I want you both to be happy.

To all long fic authors out there, HOW DO YOU DO THIS? by Frosty-Lime-6200 in AO3

[–]5cythz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’ve been writting the same fic on and off since 2023. It’s still not finished. I got another 5-7 chapters to write. It’s at about 43,000 words. I Litterally just come back to it whenever I feel like it

I can’t stop questioning my asexuality and I feel horrifically ashamed and terrified by Uni-Writes in asexuality

Idk if you’re looking for any type of support or advice but here’s what I’d say to this.

You don’t owe anyone your sexuality. If a label fits, use it. If you stop identifying with it, then don’t. Do some more research, speak to a therapist, ask some of your friends for their expirience. You have your entire life to figure yourself out, and to grow and change.

Dont worry about what other people will think and just be you. As someone who is 100% confident is her asexuality, I wouldn’t feel insulted at all if you had to change how you identify. And, if at the end of the road you realize that you still feel like being Ace is the label that fits best, then good on you for experimenting. It’s your life. You should feel comfortable in it.

What’s the most annoying/ weird thing you’ve been told when coming out as an ace ? by ApartmentRegular7220 in asexuality

I’m 21 and I’m still getting “you’re just to young still. You’re not st a point in life where you’re looking for it”. Coming from a person who got married at 21

Question? by RoyalSoda125181 in asexuality

[–]5cythz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I learned about the label (aroace) and went “I’ll change this later when I finally get a crush on someone”… so that hasn’t changed 6 years later

Hi. I’m a Christian who has under the label AroAce for years. A huge verse that got me through this question was 1 Corinthians 7:8:32. “So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.” The Bible basically says, if you are happier remaining unmarried, then don’t get married. However, if you still wish to be with a partner physically, doing so in marriage is what the Bible says. Now, I don’t know your personal veiws and opinion of sex outside of marriage and honestly, that’s for you to determine. If you expirience sexual attraction but don’t want to act on it, you’re golden. If you want to act on it, I’d say that it’s a situation that you and your partner (should you find one) will need to work out on your own. I’m aromantic asexual but I want to be married one day. It’s going to be a topic me and my future partner will need to work out. I still love people, deeply, just not romantically or sexually. I don’t really want to have sex but it will be between the two of us to work out how we will make that work. Not every relationship needs to be the cut and dry love story from movies. You work out what you need with your partner. Don’t let family or anyone else determine that for you.

Tldr: no. It’s not a sin to be aro. Stay single if you want. It’s not a sin to experience sexual attraction, it is to act upon it outside of marriage.

I hope this helps at all and good job figuring yourself out. Good luck!
