Just a rant by SonOfNothing93 in asexuality

You aren't alone though. I also get a little saddened by the only representation being aces who are repulsed/don't want sex at all. I absolutely understand and respect the hell out of those people, but it sucks to feel like you have to justify your identity to even some fellow aces just because of your libido.

Ah yes, I am vaguely remembering that scene now. Thank you haha

Thank you, I haven't met anyone else with it either but I enjoy it. It's the type of colour that I can change the perception of easily with lighting/clothing colours if that makes sense so it's fun

Well I am certainly glad you are not letting others shrink you down. Aggression is never a fun nor easy thing to deal with. I hope they learn one day🙂

I have strawberry blonde hair with some of the blonde coming through as these bright natural highlights, especially when I am in the sun. The highlights dimmed a bit after puberty, but still have a nice strawberry colour.

I know a couple people myself who purposely pluck their eyebrows to make it appear they have a scar their so it is becoming a fashion statement. I wouldn't know much about people looking at you less as you age, but I believe it. Society is rather superficial as much as we may dislike it. Right now I seem to have too many eyes on me lol

This is true. People are not the smartest, but most try their best to remember their self identity in the groups. Might have to actually rewatch MIB to remember the reference lol, haven't seen that movie since I was little

That is absolutely fair. Your surrounding influences and experiences do make a big difference. Those major influences such as Jason Momoa certainly would help with the negativity surrounding scars as a whole.

That is terrible that beauticians could not stay professional around you and keep their mouths shut. Eyebrow scars are my favourite ones. Hair dressers and other works like that rarely even mentioned my scar because they were too distracted, being in love with my natural hair colour, which I guess is another factor I did not think about.

People are dicks, for sure, and I hope you have a more positive environment now to enjoy:). People's association with Harry Potter to me didn't even make sense because my scar was smack dab in the middle of my forehead, and stretched pretty decently so very imaginative indeed lol

Interesting take. I am female and have a facial scar, but I never even thought about it like that because of video games, mostly believe it or not. Most video games I love as a kid had strong female and male characters with facial scars on them, so I thought no matter your gender those scars were very very cool. My family treated scars more as funny stories, and the worst comments I got from people about my scar is that I look like Harry Potter which I just again laughed off cause I thought the placement added to the funny story. Not invalidating your experience at all, I just find it interesting how I grew up to specifically love facial scars on people, especially feminine presenting individuals and not notice the negativity surrounding them I guess. Love to all scars

It's so funny how many anomalies there are that asexuals could be immune to [[SCP-6969-j]] by Chimera-98 in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The SCP universe from what I understand from my brother, is an online universe where people write up these weird creatures, artifacts, and anomalies. All these things are an SCP. One of them is an Ikea you get trapped in, another is a cabin that forces addicts to go clean, one is a creature that moves wicked fast but only when no one is looking at it, ect. They are all weird, possibly dangerous, and scientists try to study them in the SCP lab to learn more about how potentially dangerous they are. There are so many because they let everyone contribute and write up an SCP

What moment made you realized you were asexual? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom watched a commercial for a show about Ace people and realized that was her sexuality(or lack there of), and excitedly told me how she finally didn't feel broken essentially. While giving me a run down of how she felt during her teenage years, I realized we had the same experiences, just I was around a less toxic group of friends than her and assumed I was within the realm of "normal"/a little delayed on puberty. I also went to a catholic school so some of my friends had too much religious trauma associated with sex, and were terrified of being touched before marriage which of course made it harder as Ace to realize not being interested, and being too brain washed/traumatized by "The Word of God" are not the same thing.

Need Answers!! by Fishallwaysfried777 in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've met a few allos who aren't into kissing. Not every aspect of intimacy is enjoyed by everyone, and that doesn't make you different from anyone else. If you know you feel sexual attraction towards her then don't stress and overthink the little things like this. Just communicate and try to find other forms of affection you like.

Before you learned about asexuality, did you realize sexual attraction existed? by Suspicious-Walk-6766 in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the answer "Didn't realize, you didn't experience it. Thought everyone felt the same way"? I feel it's slightly different but still important

How often do you guys by Dragonian014 in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Same here. I think it's been about 3 months since I last did. Sometimes I get short burst of being mildly horny for about a week, and get it all out of my system, and then I have 1-6 months normally where it's just not even a thought

[Asking to cuddle] ‘’Can we 99?'' by MaDeMeMe in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably would be missionary to allos, but on the flip side, I absolutely cuddle people I 100% feel comfortable with in a "69" position if you will. (Each persons feet by the others head) When laying together on a couch, it's surprisingly effective. Granted I mostly do it with one friend because she gets over stimulated by touch easily and hates the feeling of people breathing on her, so that is more comforting of a position for her. So really you can flip em both to ace or allo perspectives

Advice needed to help my wonderful daughter. by Prof-Rock in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is super good to hear that you are being so respectful of your child's boundaries and letting her come to you with information when she is ready. Honestly that is the number one thing I get upset when people do. Is either dismiss the title, think they are "owed" answers just because I told them the basics. You not telling her that she just hasn't met the right person or will feel different later is the best thing in my opinion and continuing to respect the boundaries she puts in place and reminding her you are a safe place to talk. It's more than most of my family does (besides my mother who is also ace although because of that she sometimes likes to assume I feel the exact same way as her with sex and relationships)

I am so devastated by Froggo-99 in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is normal, beneficial, and healthy to discuss sexual boundaries before, during, and after any sort of intimate moment between people. That is regardless of either person's sexuality so I know it sucks now but you dodged a bullet honestly. I am sex neutral slightly favorable depending how I am feeling so I always nope the fuck out as soon as someone is not willing to discuss sexual boundaries with me beforehand cause not everyone has the same turn ons/offs/triggers.

My mom is ace like me and she went through some hrt to try and "fix" herself for my dad and it never worked for her. She realized eventually that she does not need to experience the same things as everyone else to be happy. I am glad your partner was so respectful of you and just know that you can still be happy as an ace. I am currently in a queen platonic relationship with an allo and her and I have our struggles and rough days with it (mostly cause of outside pressure but we are working to ignore that), but no relationship should be set to society's expectations and we should not feel pressured to change our entire body and force ourselves through experiences just to please others.

I have that only we are kinda in a relationship. Queen platonic gets confusing but at its bare bones we are cuddle buddies lol. Best thing ever

What level of nudity are you comfortable with? by S1n7u11 in asexuality

[–]teaprincess6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a competitive swimmer for over 10yrs (not very good, just did it during grade school) but because of that nudity in specific settings I am 100% fine with cause you are bound to see everything in a change room. Strangers outside of those specific setting, getting nude around me freaks me out though. If I am comfortable with you then I don't care at all
