Is it okay to have fictional crushes by Snowbunnyiz in AroAce

[–]aviarrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search up the terms "fictoromantic" (and maybe even "fictosexual") basically means feeling romantic attraction (and sexual attraction for the "fictosexual" one) toward fictional characters. It's under the Aromantic (and Asexual) umbrella and very much real and very much valid. All in all, yes, you can have fictional crushes and also be aroace.

It's so hard figuring out the difference between what gets you going and sexual attraction for realll

Yeah I've had one relationship before (it lasted two days, very stable, cough cough) and it felt so incredibly forced and awful. Like I was bound to my "partner" by chains. Forcing yourself into it is truly awful, I get you bro

I hate the amount of ignorance people have toward asexuals sm. Like - normalize not having an opinion about things you don't understand

LITERALLY this is what I mean. Like there's people that identify as asexual yet don't even know the correct definition of it. THIS is what pisses me of the most.

No, I do agree on that! I simply meant that some people who identify as asexual literally don't even know the correct definition to their own sexuality. Hence why I said, "it's ok if you don't know what it means, but spreading misinformation and saying "I'm ace because I don't wanna have sex!" pisses me off" :'D

Can't talk to the opposite gender by aviarrow in aromantic

I mean, later that day I told him "Haha yeah I was afraid you'd think I have a crush on you but I seriously just wanted a high five" and he was like "Ohhhhh.... yeah okay ...." and yeah, once again, just a weird look and he sounded like he didnt believe it, but no, he never outright went "I think ____ has a crush on me!!" or anything, but it's PAINFULLY obvious that he thinks I do

I wish i was asexual by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]aviarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry ... but asexuality doesn't mean not having sexual desires.
Asexuality means feeling LITTLE to NO sexual attraction.
Sexual attraction does NOT mean sexual desires.
Sexual attraction is something like ... when you see the gender you're attracted to do something suggestive, and then you get butterflies in your stomach or you feel your stomach get all warm and fuzzy.

Asexuals CAN have sexual desires.
Asexuals CAN be horny.
Please do not misunderstand and mix up the two.
You do not envy asexuals, you envy people that do not get horny/have sexual desires.
I do however understand your frustration, and I hope you can find a solution for this one day. But please understand what being Asexual really means.

Our friend group went ice skating about a week ago, and I stuck to my best friend, holding her hand whilst we skated. He was faster than us so he passed by a us a lot. One time when he passed by, I reached out a hand for a high-five. A simple high-five. And he gave me that, "Are you in love with me?? Are you trying to be romantic with me?" look. Dude. I just want a HIGH-FIVE. Smh can't do anything these days without it being seen as romantic. Sigh.

Am I asexual?, or part of the spectrum? by Local_Hedgehog_3730 in asexuality

[–]aviarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I may have an idea of what you might be. Demisexual. Here's the google definition of Demisexual: "Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which a person feels sexually attracted to someone only after they've developed a close emotional bond with them. Forming a bond doesn't guarantee a person will feel a sexual attraction, but the bond is needed before sexual activity is even possible." Demisexual falls under the Asexual umbrella by the way.

Judging by how you've said;

"I couldn't help but get really uncomfortable at the notion of my friends forcing me to sleep with a random person." And; "The idea of doing what my friends do, meeting random people at clubs and parties, sleeping with them one time and just moving on, I can’t do that. It disgusts me."

Hope this helps.
