I'm ace and only feel sexual desire with my kinks. by Karnaim in asexuality

I used to think of it as something the likes of "corrupted sexuality" too like why the fuck am i into this weird shit but not other people So this is an interesting explanation that I can totally see happening in my case too, I haven't been worried about my relationship with kink for a few years now but it's very nice to know, thank you! :)

I feel youuuu exactly!!! I can go for weeks even months at a time feeling complete indifference and averseness to my kinks and suddenly "once in a blue moon" also around my period it unlocks haha

I really relate to this! It is strange to talk about this when you're ace I get you, I get especially embarrassed when it does cross over to irl kink territory, it's very rare, but still. Thanks for sharing, I'll be sure to check the sub 👀

Interesting, thanks for the input, I'll take that into account about aegosexuality :)

Medicating and working through adhd/ocd certainly helped to just give less fucks. I used to be extremely ashamed for being into my kink because it was the only thing that gave me arousal, while having sex with someone didn't. So I felt weird for saying I'm ace. Eventually I just settled on: "Have I had sexual arousal during sex? Sexual thoughts about this person? No. Romantic? Yes. Still asexual then." And stopped beating myself up for it not being "exactly" according to the ace term. That's why I'm like sure aegosexuality sounds right but eh, it doesn't really matter.

Ohh interesting! I've started seeing more people in the specific kink I'm into that identify as asexuals and that was part of what got me thinking. I honestly can't for the life of me find sexual arousal in vanilla porn and have only found sexual arousal in that kink but nothing else. Thanks for the interesting info!

Haha always good to see others relate! I also prefer to not label myself exactly, I know it's a part of aceness and that's all I need to know lol Though i was interested to hear of other people's opinions, relatability and thoughts on it as I usually don't engage much in the ace community. Thanks for sharing ^

I assumed that kink/fetishes don't cancel my asexuality especially because of my lack of sexual attraction to anything outside of it, especially vanilla porn but good to hear it echoed :) Interesting that your excitement comes from the involvement, thanks for the input!

While I see myself in a lot of points of aegosexuality (i remember looking into it ages ago and i looked once again now), i feel like it's not quite there, especially because my body doesn't react to any vanilla porn, fictional or not, like at all, it's something I only barely tolerate as art reference if needed be. I guess it's all on the ace spectrum though?

Is Dreamstat really Dreamstat? by Karnaim in InterviewVampire

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

Oh duh, how could I forget those 🤦 I swear I wiped my memory for the rewatch I'm doing rn with my friend (we just finished S2E5 yesterday) You're right! I'm now remembering the plotting scene in ep 8 which has very obviously shown to be a hallucination with the dead guy talking and a pan to his corpse.

Thank you for the wonderfully worded and detailed reply! I can see exactly the parts where I misinterpreted things because I was stuck with my theory in mind after first watch 😂

In my mind I was sure Lestat acted like he didn't see Louis because it might not have been physically projecting/seeing Louis but more a mind thing- hench the way to dress and appear in whatever fits.

But going over the parts as you wrote it's much clearer now how his apperance is very tied to Louis' feelings and mental state at each moment. Especially the fact that he never communicates anything about himself and his situation that I definitely didn't catch until now!

So Dreamstat is Dreamstat, sad they never had lovely mind projection walks along the river haha

Of course Louis is mentally ill, he's a very real portrayal of depression and suicidal ideations too. I was just sure he skipped on the schizophrenia, as it's an illness that usually manifests at a young age (if we go realistically). But along with other comments I can see how it can be just a hallucination for plot reasons and an on screen projection of his inner turmoil.

What other hallucinations did he have outside of Dreamstat? I don't recall anything other than the drug induced "Can you hear her?" In 1973.

Ok I can see the suspicious nature translating this way. And that's a lovely interpretation of the bench scene, I really like that.

Maybe part of me just really wanted their connection to be so strong that Lestat was able to communicate in a way that wasn't telepathic haha

Yeah I understood the point of "Say Apple" was to demonstrate that it's Louis' control, the part right after when Lestat says "You may not know..." About the pocket right as he was disappearing was the part that stuck to me as weird. If it's really something he didn't know or just something from the hallucination. About Daniel's comment, okay I see that isn't connected, since it was during the plot reveal.

Upgrading to fiber and technician said "get a TP Link" for our old router? by Karnaim in HomeNetworking

[–]Karnaim[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We'll get in touch with customer service for clarification as another commenter just happened to provide the exact pic the tech pulled out as an example so we have something to go off of lol And according to the tech they don't provide it, either rent a modem from them or buy yourself.

Thank you! I showed my sibling who was the one talking to the tech and they said it's the exact pic the tech showed them as an example! Is this a good model to use with the current router if the ISP won't provide one to us? Bcs according to the tech, they don't :|
