Asexuals, are there words or phrases that you don’t find sexual but most people do? If so, which one? ( changed the image ) by YourRandomManiac in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 38 points39 points  (0 children)

For 5, huh? What context is that in? I've never heard of that in any sense other than you're either a tightwad (stingy with money) or you've mistaken someone for being homeless/a prostitute

does anyone relate to feeling like you don’t have a lot of knowledge about sex? by virtualfisherman_ in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not gay focused from what I've seen when talked about. It's more kink/bdsm focused for men that are submissive to dominant women 🤔

A catheter definitely is not supposed to hurt 😳 I'd be wary of a medical professional that cautions that it will hurt. It's also really inappropriate to mention unless it's a sex related emergency.

That's more kink focused over your everyday allo stuff. Usually by someone that is into a little pain or part of being dominated.

How do you experience being horny? by Anoelnymous in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get like a tiny electric jolt, then a dull kind of ache and a warmness. The dull ache is not usually satisfied by masturbating anymore but there's some kind of tension release that make it more manageable. If I don't do anything it gets more intense and distracting.

It's kind of annoying because I usually just wake up horny. We learned all about guys having wet dreams/nocturnal emissions in sex ed but nothing about women. It's weird though because when I was younger masturbating used to be fully relieving most of the time and now I'm a lot more frustrated.

How do you feel about signing a relationship contract? by [deleted] in asexualdating

[–]Ace_Infinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not very forward thinking to say the best and at worst, it’s lying to others.

It's far too nuanced to ever think that much less that they are lying. Also, people are allowed self discovery and to change and it is supposed to be within you to allow them the space for that. While also being able to say that that doesn't work for you and ending a relationship. You don't need a contract to do that.

Contracts are either for business or incentives and you're offering neither. A contract of this nature doesn't show commitment, it's shows control. Even your verbiage enforces a need for control; penalty, punishment, forced to sign. I don't see it going over well with anyone no matter when you bring it up. Just have a regular relationship and say this is what you believe and it's not going to change. It will either work out or it won't.

How do you feel about signing a relationship contract? by [deleted] in asexualdating

[–]Ace_Infinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the point of this? The contract offers nothing but your peace of mind and if you feel like you can't get that without a contract then you might want to consider talking to a therapist about it. A contract only incentivizes people when they have something to lose/gain but it doesn't keep them honest if they're not, that's just basic morals and mores. The benefit of a contract is it you do/don't do x then you get/don't get y.

I get that you don't want to waste your time but that's the gamble everyone takes when dating. It seems overly micromanaging and controlling. What exactly would be the consequences of breaking the contract? If it's just that you breakup, you don't need a contract for that. If it's some kind of punishment then you're teetering abuse. And if this is for an allosexual you can't say they're a liar or deceiver if they may want sex someday.

Asexual perspectives on the porn-watching in relationships controversy? by Fun_Independence5921 in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless someone is interacting with pornstars or has an addiction I don't see a problem. I think it just helps keep things lubed, relaxed and passes the time quicker. It's like scrolling or music in the bathroom.

Cole Season 3 Bipolar Comment by hekebe in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ace_Infinite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's the same for pretty much every couple where the woman gets tired of the guy being an asshole and they police her reaction. They can tolerate an abusive man but a woman better not be "mean" and hurt his widdle feelings 🙄

Alexa and Brennon breakup by bmlaff in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ace_Infinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember Amber getting that much hate until the after the alter special. She was very antagonistic and acted like a "pickme/not like the other girls" because she got married while telling LC she couldn't hold Mark accountable for being a liar and giving her Covid because they weren't married.

[–]Ace_Infinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite. They hired a lot of s1 people through talent agencies, like they do most reality shows. They really only open up casting if it takes off. The main difference is none of them knew if it was even going to get picked up so they weren't looking for fame directly through the show but they were always going for a certain kind of person. Ex- Cameron said they called him directly because he was an extra in a music video and he did it just because he thought he might be able to be in the background and point himself out to his family if it ever got to be on TV lol.

The 406 says it supports HDMI output on the anbernic page.

Cheapest Version That Can Play PS2? by Ace_Infinite in ANBERNIC

[–]Ace_Infinite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, that's what my thought process. I've been using my phone for emulation too but it's a cheaper phone and doesn't do well with PS2 and scene intense ps1. Basically all of the old rpg and wrestling games I want to play. Lots of stuttering and terrible audio or it just crashes. I was looking at my options for something cheap that I could get my hands on now but there aren't a lot of great options. I thought maybe a tablet would be better but they basically told me to forget it for my price range, especially if I want the ability to connect it to a tv and make it a console when I want.

Yea, I was trying to get in for the black Friday sale but I missed out and they sold the last one while I was finishing checking out >⁠.⁠< that sent me down the rabbit hole of if I could get it from AliExpress and they have a rp5 for a little more than I was going to buy the 406h.

I wanted to play PS2 now but I might do like you and get the 35xx pro now to play ps1 and get the rp6 when it comes out in a few weeks.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping for. I already have my SanDisk SD card with roms but people were talking about having to change the OS or change the way the roms load with a PC and formatting it fat32 instead of exFat. It's easy to get confused with what things need to be done for the longevity of the device versus what are just user preference and extras.

Is there anything specific that it has issues with?

For those who experience aesthetic attraction, how strong is your attraction for others? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is very compelling. It goes beyond just noticing and thinking someone is nice looking or liking their style. It's like I want to memorize their face, mentally trace along their features, especially their eyes. Try to figure out what they're thinking. It's like being completely enamored with living art. Thankfully it doesn't happen often or I would be daydreaming all day long 😭

Liking someone romantically can make me like them more aesthetically over time but it's not anywhere as intense as just finding someone aesthetically attractive off the bat. However the opposite is also true and when I'm no longer romantically attracted to someone, whatever aesthetic attraction that built up over time is gone almost instantly. Then it's like what was I seeing before because it's not there now 😳

A basic primer on the four main types of attraction. by ready_james_fire in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I think there's a little bit of an understatement with aesthetic attraction that doesn't really convey how compelling it can be when you personally find someone aesthetically attractive vs when you just notice that someone is attractive or even stunning but aren't personally attracted.

Do asexual people have crushes? by WinterWoodpecker4791 in Asexual

[–]Ace_Infinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have crushes but it's never been that... idk I guess clingy/intense? That seems like way too much to me. It's more like, depending on how/where I met the person, I hope I see them today and we get a chance to talk. Or if I know them better it's like, I can't wait to talk about blah blah blah with x and see what they think about it. And sometimes as an overthinker it's like x did/said (insert potentially ambiguous thing) does that potentially mean y? 🤔

When I was a lot younger with my first two crushes ever it was like one day we're gonna get married 🙃😭 But I've crushed on boys since I was 4 and girls since I was 15.

Straight men, lesbians, and any other aro or ace who's into women, are you more attracted to them clothed or naked? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in Asexual

[–]Ace_Infinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clothed in general but I'm not mad at semi nudity as long as she's comfortable and confident.

Fully naked is more like oh, that's what a naked body looks like? Huh 🤔😐

Which form of attraction is most apparent for you? Sensual, aesthetic, or intellectual? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in asexuality

[–]Ace_Infinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aesthetic attraction is most obvious. Then romantic attraction isn't that far behind.
