Out of curiosity, did anyone else here have trouble realizing their identity because they just... didn't get into situations where it would come into play? (For example, I was never around other people my age until I was in uni, so a lot of the "wait, I don't experience what other teenagers seem obsessed about" moments I've heard other aro and ace people describe just didn't happen to me at all.) I was homeschooled from the ages of 12-15, so yeah, I can certainly relate to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGGHEAD Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 anyone else ever feel like you were gonna get married because it seemed like the "right" thing to do like i wasn't even pressured into that it's just everything around me elevated those kinds of relationships so much that i just felt like i should do it i also decided that i would only have sex after marriage because i didn't really want sex either didn't even care that much, looking back... i just never considered that i simply might not want any of it lmao 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, I may be that as well hah. im omniaspec which means im on the aspec for every type of attraction but not strictly im pretty sure im strictly on aspec for every attraction [including platonic attraction] except for alterous since i rarely experience it but i still do [so i use the grayanalterous label as well] not feeling any attraction most of the time is pretty relaxing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallyTBD Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Anyone else think they’re sex indifferent because they’re like 14 but could be sex repulsed for all they know? Also, I don’t know about anyone else, but being ace was what let me realize that I’m aro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to use those as labels. In general I see them more as current-moment representations of comfort level. I, for example, am generally romance/sex averse, but sometimes I'm indifferent, and other times I'm repulsed. I use those words and their definitions to gauge if I'm okay with stuff that is going on/going to happen, and plan my actions accordingly. While using them as labels is undoubtedly useful to some people, don't feel any pressure to nail them down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come here to chat, to share your experiences, send memes, and plot your villainous schemes while the others are busy falling in love/having sex. With this, the alien invasion can truly begin, MWAHAHA! On a more serious note, a discussion about aromanticism in relation to asexuality made me realize we do not have a dedicated space to talk about our own experiences, so I'm making one! Feel free to talk about anything you want here. Aroallos and others are welcome as well! shoutout to aro ace agenders. yall really looked at past societal norms and just said "no" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wait, I thought you experienced sexual attraction, no? Or am I confusing it with something else. 1 hour ago, EGGHEAD said: or wait is it Kind of? It depends. Some people consider them both to be same; others, not so much. I think omni is like you don’t have a preference for a specific gender, while being attracted to all genders, while pan is having preferences for specific genders, while being attracted to all of the genders.
