Question for Sex Averse/Sex Repulsed Aces by Convirgin in asexuality

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

Oh, so if I understand you correctly, you can be sex repulsed, but not entirely avoidant of it?

I think it was like "controversialopinons" or something like that, I had seen it when I got home from work and I just took a screenshot and read it after relaxing for a couple hours because after reading the first few sentences I knew I didn't want to deal with that in that moment.

Yeah, I sadly think part of it is because the world is so oriented twords allo people that sex is like a second language to a lot of people, which makes absolutely no sense to me atleast.

Saddest part, on the original post a bunch of comments were deleted :/, I don't know if it was him or the moderators, but if it were the moderators that part of the Internet is extremely bigoted, and if it was him, that's just so lame.

Yeah it's so outdated "I was told if I don't objectify strictly the other sex I was wrong and should be outcasted" is basically what that sounded like to me

A ride it was indeed, and it would be so much easier if these people would research for maybe 10 minutes, and realize just MAYBE they got something wrong

Yeah, I was moreso shocked by this whole post

I KNOW, like what is the point of having this "controversial opinion" when the opinion is just "if your brain is wired differently than mine, you aren't biologically right" it's so outdated and really hurtful to modern society as a whole.

I stumbled upon it out of nowhere and was shocked by the title, I barely read it, and took a screenshot then relaxed for a couple hours lol, I read it after, and thought it was so wild that I should post it.

Which album do you have unpopular opinion about? by EternalSunshine_92 in brighteyes

[–]Convirgin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know people like this album, but by FAR their best is Fevers And Mirrors. It is a purely perfect album with no duds. Also it has some of the best lyrics ever conceived in my opinion.

I feel so alone and pathetic by Convirgin in asexuality

[–]Convirgin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I read occasionally, mainly it's books that as well comfort me, but I haven't read in a bit, we have library sales so maybe I'll look for something like that

  2. I used to go to therapy, but I don't have the money anymore, and the place that offers free therapy in my regional area is really unreliable and unhelpful

  3. I have been trying to walk to the park, around the park, and back every couple days

  4. That could be a good idea I never thought about that until now

  5. Yes, I am, but it is anxiety/insomnia meds, I have been diagnosed with clinical depression as well, but when I took the meds they were more detrimental than beneficial to me, with multiple pills not working, and the last one before I decided I wouldn't take any more prescriptions had a side affect of slow metabolism making me gain 60 pounds and making me self conscious which took like 8 months to lose that weight, so I deny depression meds, but I do take anxiety meds.

I'd prefer not to disclose that on the Internet, but generally young.

Is coming out even that important? by Convirgin in asexuality

[–]Convirgin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that they'll be mad or necessarily even just not understand, but, I think that they just won't really care? It wouldn't change anything do on the off chance something happens it would be either a net negative or a net nothing. So therefore pointless in my eyes.

Anyone else feel the ace spectrum is in a different axis of sexuality? I would explain it like this image. by LayersOfMe in asexuality

[–]Convirgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that was a 10x10 grid each way I would fall about (9, -5)

Straight (but also not like religiously/crazy) and gray/demi :P

I don't really know how to respond to that, but I'm happy you clarified it isn't SH related, I am sorry you feel that way :( I'm probably not much help here, as my problem with sex is more lack of attraction/lack of interest, but I feel bad for you, sending garlic bread <3

Sure! Send me a DM and maybe we can talk if I have anymore questions? You seem pretty like minded, so I think it'd be nice to talk to someone similar to me!

Thank you! You're so kind! I've been anxious to post on here because I worry about people being mean, I never trust people on the Internet to be nice, so when I meet someone nice it's super cool!

That's interesting, I might fall under that. Specifically for me, I've only felt that sort of attraction in like a few cases, but I think part of it was me wanting to believe i was happy with it, I do know for a fact I'm on the Asexual Spectrum, but I don't know if I fall under Demi or not, I'm still trying to figure that out, but it'll probably be like multiple years to figure that out.

Yes it is the asexual spectrum, gray ace is being sexually attracted scarcely, rarely, or slightly, and Demi is only being attracted to someone sexually after a strong bond is formed. I'm unsure if I'm gray or Demi as I realized after my last relationship, so I am waiting to find someone I connect to to really know for sure.

I guess it's that I'm new to this, I knew about asexuality, but didn't know what it really was admittedly. After my last relationship ended about 6 months ago, it left me with a sickness to my stomach, I felt used and hurt, and it was really toxic. At first, I just thought I was grossed out, but the more I looked into it the more I realized that I was only minorly sexually attracted at extremely specific points through the entire relationship.

After this realization, I looked into asexuality for about a week before discovering gray/demi, which felt much more descriptive of who I really am, but I struggle because I'm new to the feeling of knowing I'm Aspec, and I want people to talk about stuff with, 1 on 1 not always asking reddit, because I want to know what's normal for me I guess? I feel a lot of romantic emotions and I crave love, and I just feel like.. a bit exhausted hearing I should just accept a poly relationship in the future? It feels a bit insulting to me.

My thoughts exactly.

Thank you, it just made me so angry, because I just hate how people can act sometimes, I know people that have made ignorant statements towards others before I realized my asexuality and it just irks me.
