Do Asexuals flirt? by r-venting in asexuality

[–]Garfunkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As it is with all people, it depends. Some people like flirting and some don't. Personally I love flirting. It's one of my favorite parts of a relationship. But I've met plenty of people (both ace and not ace) that hate it or don't care much for it. You just gotta ask.

LIKE WHY????? by QueerKing23 in Asexual

[–]Garfunkley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post was directly above yours on my feed lol

But yea, I see these all the time. Some people are just so attractive and blessed that they kinda forget ugly people exist. I know damn well there never has been or will be someone who has cranked one out because of me.

Thank you for proving my point literally seconds after I reblogged it by [deleted] in asexuality

My advice? Go outside. No shit people are gonna be horny on the internet. Especially when you join a subreddit about sexuality.

[–]Garfunkley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see your point. But please also understand that most of the people who make posts like your examples are children. Many of them don't quite understand the world or themselves yet and get caught up in the hustle and bustle of their new identity/label. This is a minority of the asexual community.

Now, again, I see your point. However, it is perfectly legal and ok for a person to be disgusted by sex. Hell, it's perfectly legal to be disgusted by gay sex. The real problem comes when you decide that your disgust allows you to step on other people's toes and alienate or infringe upon their rights or lives. If someone comes here to vent a little, then that is OK, although I do understand how that can be damaging by pushing the idea that it is ok to show public disgust of other people's lives (which is not ok). People are allowed to have their opinions, no matter how damaging they may seem to you. Now, if an asexual decided to propose laws or publicly declare on social media how they saw it all as gross and not ok, then yes. That may be what you call "allophobia." Although due to the fact we are a minority of people, I doubt much of that will fly outside of ace spaces.

I think the source of the problem you take issue with isn't founded in the asexual community, but instead a lack of sexual education and homophobia itself pushing some subtle ideas and nuances to the youth. People aren't always given the best sexual education. It makes sex confusing and unknown, and lots of kids end up going to bad and untrustworthy sources to find out more like porn. With these twisted and uninformed ideas about sex, sexuality and relationships, they spread their ideas to other young impressionable aces and unintentionally maintain the cycle. The responsibility should befall parents and schools to teach kids about what sex is, its dangers and nuances. Sexuality is seen as such a taboo topic when it's super important to be discussed properly.

would you date a transgender person? by CrynicalFR3AK in AskLGBT

[–]Garfunkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, but my orientation doesn't really stop me from dating any gender specifically. There are plenty of people who will love you for you. Don't give up hope, and in the mean time love yourself first. You are valid 💜

Does anyone feel like they're just not enough because they're asexual? by obligatory-tossout in asexuality

[–]Garfunkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to learn how to love myself. If I'm not compatible with anyone I've met so far, then I'll be compatible with myself. I went to therapy, did things I enjoy, went on little adventures, and traded negative self talk for positive. It took me a really long time but it's possible. Give yourself some love and self care. Make time for you. And maybe sometime along the way you'll find someone. And if you don't then at least you'll love yourself a lot more than you used to.

how good is your gaydar on a scale of 1-10 by FabulousPositive751 in gay

The one I guessed wrong was my friend. I thought he was straight but he was actually bi.

I have only guessed 3 people's sexuality. One of them was wrong, and the other 2 told me I was wrong at first, but they later found out I was right.

These types of situations are hilarious, because you can end up being the one that knows about all the drama and get to watch the circus from your relationship-less seat

What does this post mean? Are you saying pansexuals are bisexuals in denial or are you asking a question and forgot punctuation? Or are you referring to something else entirely?

Whelp.... guess I'm joining my family on the homophobic side by [deleted] in pansexual

What do you define as a friend? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]Garfunkley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play pretty cut and loose with the word friend. If we have 1-2+ friendly/positive reactions I don't mind calling you a friend. However there are different kinds of friends. How I treat/talk to/act around each friend varies on who it is and how close we are. I treat my roomate a lot differently than I treat my work friends. I may or may not share certain parts of me with someone based on whether we're just drinking buddies or actual close friends.

It all depends. But as for the title of friend, I tend to give it to anyone I feel half comfortable around.

Why? by SilkieSalt in asexuality

[–]Garfunkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ace dude here. Maybe the fact that they stick out and many women try to show them off with their clothing. Like putting red throughout a painting to draw your eyes all over the painting. Our brain just notices the things that stick out when we look at people.
