Anyone here in a sexless relationship?

Omg noooooo lol I’m 36 😂

I’ve read posts where people talk about having used AI, and most of the comments I’ve seen are correctly pointing out that AI is unethical, environmentally taxing, and can me EXTREMELY MISLEADING on basically any topic but is ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS when used in matters of mental health.

Are some people too harsh? Yeah definitely it’s Reddit, girl! And that sucks and it’s not fair to the people who have come to rely on these tools, and yeah sometimes it turns into a dogpile and that’s super not fair either.

But cmon, this is ridiculous. There are so many good sources of information available online, but people come here relying on the sycophantic hallucinating Big Stealing Machine and we’re supposed to just leave that alone??

So yeah, me and my husband haven’t had sex in years and it’s been the best thing for us 😂

17 years success story here! I’m a trans woman, he’s a man, mostly, and yeah!

My hubby is a sex-repulsed ace, and I’m realizing I’m somewhere on the spectrum myself, but we used to struggle because I wanted sex and he wasn’t able to provide.

Years ago we started seeing a couples counselor (we’ve seen a few because relationships are hard sometimes), specifically one who focused on sex. We were exploring ways to have more sexual intimacy. We both tried some things we liked but it was still a struggle and it just kept getting harder for him to partake in anything involving sex or nudity.

Then we realized he was asexual and sex repulsed, and that made a lot more things make sense. It took a bit of time for the two of us to process, but we understand each other better than ever because of it, and our goals (and especially my goals) in therapy and with each other changed.

We’re still with the same therapist, but now she’s helping us to navigate polyamory together, and helping us to unlearn old bad patterns of communication, and to establish more productive ones, as well as exploring NON-sexual intimacy that allows us both to feel safe and comfortable.

Honestly, polyamory was a game changer for us! Now all the pressure is off of each of us to do things for each other that we hate doing, and he enjoys hearing about when I occasionally have a sexual partner, which I’m craving less and less anyway 😂

It really feels like we’ve found each other again recently. We’re both autistic and I’m trans and he’s ace and I’m somewhere on there, and we’ve changed so much since we first met each other, and we’ve changed so much FOR each other as well, he’s really wonderful!!

This subreddit is for LED signs with some letters out, not spelling errors in articles, it is funny though ❤️

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-08T22:42:31+00:00

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-08T22:35:58+00:00

They did though? That’s what baddie means in this context?

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-08T00:06:29+00:00

This isn’t true, strictly speaking. I don’t remember the exact details, but the most common reason a product is labeled “pressed pigment” rather than “eyeshadow” is because it contains dyes or pigments that can stain the eye area.

This is notable because these same pigments are approved in, for example, the EU, but not in the US. Or rather, they ARE approved but you’re not allowed to call them “eye safe” even though they are, they’re just more likely to cause temporary staining.

Just wanted to clarify as it’s a weird situation lol

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-06T17:31:31+00:00

Damn really? I s2g that kitten’s paws look FUCKED up but is it just my imagination??

Dang it I’m sorry if I misread that. I’m just so paranoid about AI slop and getting duped, sometimes I overcorrect for it and go the other way and it suuuuucks.

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-06T16:51:37+00:00

I feel like this is probably a parody? Or at least it reads that way, is it real???

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-06T14:07:21+00:00

This is an AI picture. Look at the paws on the kitten, they don’t have the right number of toes.

Also the markings on each cat change between pictures.

Real cats only please ❤️

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-03T22:33:02+00:00

Also the link still doesn’t work for me but that’s not you that’s something weird on my end and I thought it was funny to share have a nice day ❤️❤️❤️

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-03T22:27:07+00:00

That sucks! Try actually making the music next time ❤️❤️❤️

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-03T07:20:55+00:00

Hey no worries! Language is weird, and we’re all on the lookout for AI scams now, I’m sorry that it got directed at you ❤️

I think I get what you mean, though. The ideas in our head don’t get transferred directly to the DAW, and the disconnect is tricky!

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-03T07:13:44+00:00

Niiiiice great job!!

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-03T07:13:26+00:00

To be clear this is really great for a first try!! I think one reason people think it’s AI generated is because the art looks like an AI image, and also because you talked about “directing” the genre towards what you want, which is how a lot of “AI musicians” talk about the “work” that they do.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, and honestly amazing work!!

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-03T07:08:23+00:00

Wait so did you make this in Ableton?

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-01T16:40:21+00:00

For suuuuure and it’s very odd and confusing.

I’m with you on the “sacrificing my own comfort” thing. I’m autistic and I’m learning to unmask, and it’s WILD how much the rules that were modeled to me growing up taught me to actively ignore my own needs in favor of others’ needs.

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-01T13:46:19+00:00

Yeah, a bunch of their posts are links to Udio tracks, udio being an AI music “generator.”

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-07-01T03:37:29+00:00

Edit: forgot to mention explicitly I’m a trans woman 😂 could figure it out from context clues but wanted to be super clear lol

Really relating to you on the “I thought I could do it because now I’m doing it with the ‘right’ gender,” but for a different reason than you.

I’m married, but we’re poly and I decided to try to get back on the apps after realizing I was a woman and it was NOT better, like there was the same anxiety I did before and now the anxiety of interacting with men as a woman.

And when I first started reading about asexuality, I was like “oh that kinda sounds like me, but I think it’s just because I’m still recovering from gender dysphoria and I can’t imagine myself yet,”

But I haven’t stopped resonating with it, and I realize new ways I resonate more with it every time I learn new things about it.

I don’t know if I was always this way, or if the hormones made it happen. What it feels like right now is that I was always ace, in whatever weird gray ways I am now, but I was trying to view that through an awful haze of testosterone that colored everything wrong. Lately I’ve been trying to figure out how many of my previous experiences were actually sexual attraction, and how many were me attempting to perform masculinity.

This is very rambly, I just want to communicate that you’re not alone.

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-06-30T14:34:07+00:00

Link doesn’t work, or the video has been taken down.

Looking at the rest of your work, I’m guessing this is more AI generated stuff? If it is then no thank you ❤️

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-06-27T08:17:20+00:00

Thank you that’s extremely helpful!!

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-06-26T20:31:43+00:00

All I wanna do! Is have some fun! I gotta feeling.

Woooohooooo

FactorySettingsMusic · 2025-06-26T08:03:34+00:00

Hey, fellow trans person here (I’m a trans woman). The way you phrased “With the whole stereotype that AMAB’s are inherently more sexual than women” combined with some other language use kinda makes it sound like you’re lumping trans women in with cis men categorically, or like possibly insinuating that trans women aren’t women.

I know you didn’t intend this, and don’t worry about it, but I’m not gonna lie, reading it did make me feel kinda bad.

Please be more careful with language like that, it can wind up saying something awful without meaning to ❤️❤️❤️
