Still Bisexual? Demisexual? Asexual? Just a good girlfriend? Help?!

happypotatomurderer:

I’m a 15 year old female in a very happy relationship with the most amazing guy on earth. I’ve been openly bisexual for almost two years now. I really didn’t (don’t) care about the gender of the person; if they’re a genuine person I’ll begin to like them and fall in love with them.

However, I don’t really have strong sexual feelings for the person. I will engage in sexual activities with the person I’m with if I really like them and think it is what they want. I am never the first to want sexual things.

I was with a group of friends at a football game and they were awing at a football player one of them have a crush on saying how sexy he was and stuff. They knew I didn’t like said guy, so they asked me who I thought was sexy… I couldn’t think of anyone besides my boyfriend. They asked if I had ever thought anyone was sexy and the only other person I could think of was me having a crush on my best female friend in middle school—-one of the few people I’ve ever been truely SEXUALLY attracted to.

I can tell when a person is “attractive” but I am not attracted to them. I only start to be attracted to someone after I’ve known them a while and start to get to know them well. I am just genuinely not attracted to people—-any person at all. Besides my boyfriend who is one of the closest people I have in my life. When I’m with him I become sexually turned on and he is the ONLY person that this happens with. I sometimes get wet before he’s erect >.<

Why am I not normal though? I’m not attracted to anyone besides the person I’m closest with? Am I just a good girlfriend or is it something more? I need help figuring this out before my brain explodes, so please, if anyone has similar feelings and reads this could you please help me?

So today I came out as Asexual to my LGBTQ+ group.

They were really accepting of it, pretty much everyone in the room had heard of asexuality in one way or another and at no point did anybody try to invalidate it. The leader of the group said she was willing to print out some Ace flags to stick on the walls and stuff.

It was seriously amazing, and for the people who hadn’t heard of it were really interested in knowing more. It’s times like this that I honestly think our community will be okay :3

Ace Awareness week

thechronicwanderer:

I’m doing a presentation about asexuality for Spectrum, my school’s LGBTQ group. I have a bullet-point list of things that I am going to talk about. If anyone has any suggestions on other topics I should include, or how to make it more interesting than me just rambling, that would be great.

• Basic definition of asexuality
• what it means to me to be asexual
• asexuality doesn’t equal celibacy
• Romantic attraction/ace spectrum
• issues that the ace and LGBTQ community both fight for (right to marry/adopt/etc.)
• issues that the ace and LGBTQ community both fight against (bullying, corrective rape, etc.)

I’ve considered adding a bit about what different religions say about asexuality. ANY feedback is super appreciated.
