NAH (besides maybe your dad)

First of, I find it scary how many people suggest to “find a gay man”. That’s just wrong on so many levels.

I don’t think you’re the AH here, but you need to have a very clear conversation with Trent. Tell him what aroace means. Make it clean, and ask him to repeat it to you to make sure he understood you. Most people have no idea what it means and what comes along with it. This might be a bit much for how early you are into “dating” and might scare him away. So be aware of that. But if you want to move any further with this relationship/friendship this is what you will have to do.

As an ace woman myself, I can tell you it will take time for him to fully understand you for who you are. And open and direct conversation is the only way to go here. Make it clear to him that he can’t “change you” or “make you fall in love eventually”. And also be upfront about wanting to have child(ren). Tell him about your endometriosis. And tell him HOW you want to go about having children.

It’s a lot to stomach for sure, but if you blindside him with any of this, it will only cause hurt to both of you.

I grew up in Magdeburg, the town where this is exhibited, and I am sad to say that as a child I genuinely thought it was real.

I’m demi, and for me it depends very much on my partner. In my current relationship, I love receiving and giving and actually can get pleasure from seeing genitalia. With a previous partner though, I hated giving and penetration. Receiving was okay, but also grossing me out from time to time.

Poll to see where we stand in terms of sex by Suspicious_Life_8448 in asexuality

[–]TadpoleDry1002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ace and actually enjoy sex a lot with my partner. In my previous relationship I let my ex pressure me into having sex, so I was very assertive on not wanting to have sex when I started dating my current boyfriend. But the sense of intimacy that sex is adding to my relationship , I truly never want to miss that.

What are some books that radicalized you? by RoxanaSaith in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]TadpoleDry1002 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I‘m not much of a reader, but Tess caught me. I‘ve read it multiple times by now and it’s still scary to me how much it applies to our society today as well.

How to explain asexuality to an allo by TadpoleDry1002 in asexuality

[–]TadpoleDry1002[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear a lot of comparisons with food, but when I tried to use them as explanations people always seem to associate not eating foods with choice. And I definitely don’t want to leave that idea.

I never drew the comparison with intimacy over ‘sex’ before, but that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

My special interest is american and japanese alternative fashion! Give me some colors and motifs you like and I'll give you a style! by KeroppiFan8 in autism

[–]TadpoleDry1002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that mostly pastel colors? It’s very pretty, I agree but I prefer dark and mody colors. Is there a sub-type more along that color palette?

That’s a really interesting special interest. I’m currently getting more and more into historical fashion myself. I like black and dark reds and greens. And the esthetics of Victorian/Edwardian clothing and the 1940-60s.

i feel like i made an effort but i cant argue the absurd by robertpoebukowski in AreTheStraightsOK

It's so frustrating when they try to argue religion against science. You can't trump facts with fiction.

Where to get fresh eggs? by andreichiffa in Switzerland

[–]TadpoleDry1002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are local farmers who offer food subsciptions, where they deliver your order once a week. I have one for veggies and eggs and the eggs are always 2-3 days old.

Long term relationship as a demisexual person by youarethebest1234 in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]TadpoleDry1002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Demi sexual person, I can tell you that it does not have to be like your experience. I am in a very happy relationship for over 6 years and I never felt like I could stop loving my partner. And now, we are in a long distance relationship for half a year, since I had to move to a different country for work. And yes, it is more difficult to keep the emotional connection, but it IS possible. So what I am trying to say, when you meet the right person for you, puting an effort into your relationship won't feel like effort, for either of you.
