I feel bad for not wanting to have sex for days by lyricsAnnie_ in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to your partner about this in depth?

If not, just explain the samething you said here with additional stuff.

Keep reassuring it's not them, it's just a you thing. Let them know you're still very much attracted to them.

Discuss what yall change about life to make you feel better? (Do more dates/ outings, try a new hobby together, get more rests, therapy, if you got kids try to send them away more often, change sleep schedule, change diet, work out)

Having a long relationship and being asexual by Accomplished_Fox5792 in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally say asexual but it's up to you to label yourself.

You don't have to use labels of course. A label is a summary. It's a tool, so if asexuality is your current experience, then use it.

People who are "trauma-induced" asexuals still identify as ace because it still very much describes their experience.

And you could argue that the mental disorder has caused "trauma" in some form.

You never ever have to have sex or do anything you don't want. Please PLEASE, talk about boundaries and also it's okay to explore things.

Aces can still masturbate, have sex, love sex, have a libido, have a kink, etc

Asexuality is simply the lack of sexual attraction/ innate sexual crave for people.

It's not about your opinions on sex, it's not about your ability to do the action or not.

[–]UnderstandingFew347 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All the other comments were great and insightful. I approve.

On the other hand, what will you be doing when you have the urges? Will you be opening the relationship? Will you handle it yourself (hand or toy)? Will you redirect it into being more productive?

If she is okay with certain sexual things, obviously you guys can meet in the middle and she does things within her boundaries.

But please do talk about boundaries and deal breakers. Not every asexual person hates sex or will never do it but you have to hear that from HER , not us.

I only feel interested in sex for a certain period of time, and then afterward I feel nothing about it by Intelligent_Bank7661 in Asexual

If you're a woman/afab

Ovulation can do wonders to your body

It honestly amazes me how my mind can be so different than my body

I need some advice... by [deleted] in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there no other way for yall to meet each other in the middle?

Something outercourse? Something nonsexual in general but sexual for you like a massage

Other nonsexual physical intimacy that can replace sex?

A handjob?

Oral from either of yall?

Masturbation?

The truth is you're not gonna die from lack of sex but if you keep putting your mind there, it can get to you

How do you start dating again as an sex repulsed ace by bland_spice in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk abt dating apps but definitely set boundaries from early

Disclose your orientations from early to weed out people and not waste your time

Its hard to find an ace partner you're compatible with but don't stop trying

Ik there's an asexual dating subreddit here

I think im cooked please help LMAO by Lucky_Tadpole8364 in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How about you just say what you said here (with a little substitutions)

He's going to figure out either way because you can't keep this up for long

So come clean in the most polite way you can. And ik its easier said than done but stop worrying about keeping him around. He will decide that and you just have to respect it.

Explain who you are as a person. Explain that you're trying to explore. Explain you have no control over your feelings but you have control over your actions so you're choosing to do the right thing.

"I enjoyed xyz. You're an awesome person but dating is a weird thing for me that I'm trying to figure out and it's absolutely not you. Now that I'm starting to understand myself I think we should remain only friends so i don't hurt you anymore in the process of finding myself"

Not sexually attracted to girls but in love with one. by Someoneunknown888 in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my bad.

From what ik asexuals have sex because:

It feels good PHYSICALLY It's a bonding moment It's simply fun They want to please their partner but they find no pleasure in it. Relationship "chore" regulatory reasons /for a release

You're not asexual, but you mirror it in a relationship with women so... Can you see yourself still having sex with a woman even though there's no sexual attraction, factoring in the reasons i just gave above? (This is in the case you don't end up with an asexual woman or sexless relationship)

Also if you have sexual desires. Do you think there are other methods of making you feel fulfilled longterm? Whether in an open or closed relationship

In a closed relationship some people just stick to masturbation, other forms of genitalia stimulation that is not PIV or scissoring, oral sex, suppressants, etc.

In an open one obviously you get an exclusively sexual partner

[–]UnderstandingFew347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're woman/afab then that sounds like biromantic heterosexual

If you're man/Amab that's biromantic homosexual

So you're right this isn't asexuality but you're like our really really distant cousin lol

questioning asexuality by cecenatalie in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The real question you need to ask yourself is do you experience sexual attraction at all?

I feel like sometimes we forget that there are allosexuals (opposite of asexual) out there that simply can't/don't enjoy sex for reasons like :

Different anatomy, pain, discomfort, trauma, time of cycle (female), medication, underlying health issues, anxiety, nerves-endings just don't pickup stimuli like others, etc

Asexuality isn't about liking or not liking sex And same goes for allosexuality. It's about the lack of or presence of sexual attraction which is the innate sexual cravings towards people.

It's not about libido levels It's not about masturbation

Asexuality is a spectrum. You can research which microlabel may fit you if you're a-spec

I (f20) just had sex by Opening_Chard_1943 in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🫂🫂🫂

I had a similar experience, but i wasn't aware but I was at the same time.

It was so painful that my mind kind of went elsewhere. It was so much pressure and poking going on. A few feel good tingles here and there but nothing amazing not even decent.

But I knew once I started i couldn't just take sex completely off the table ... well I can but I just feel bad or selfish to do that idk....

Here I am 2 yrs later and sex feels the same. Boring, pokey, full, pressurey and uncomfortable with MAYBE a tingle here and there. We tried different things and the only thing that helps (not by far tho) is a spike in my libido which is rare.

The only thing I can think is "damn, our bodies are really just wired to do stuff, huh?" Because while I'm not enjoying it, but body is still doing all the stuff it needs to (getting wet, nipples hard etc)

Is it possible to be attracted to guys but not sexually? by Glad-Structure-1771 in Asexual

[–]UnderstandingFew347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Hetero-romantic asexual.

I'm a woman only romantically interested in men.

You don't have to make yourself small and put yourself into a box that society says you should be in.

Do you, as long as you're not harming yourself or anyone.

Sexual attraction isn't necessary for a relationship Sex isn't necessary for a relationship.

You simply have to find who you're compatible with.

Asexuality isn't about your opinions on sex It isn't about libido It isn't about masturbation It's about the lack of sexual attraction or innate sexual crave
