"Asexuals can still have sex" does not mean that asexuals can begrudgingly put their sex repulsion aside and force themselves to please their partner. It means that because asexuality is simply defined as a spectrum of little to no sexual attraction and one's sexuality consists of many different factors other than attraction, such as sex drive and emotional connection, there are individuals on the asexual spectrum who can and do enjoy having sex even though they lack sexual attraction.

she said she's been single for years and couldn't be happier. she told me that she has so much more freedom and independence. she can finally travel and live her life.

My best friend at college said it best I think:

"Sometimes I think I want a boyfriend, but then I realize. No. I really just want a hug. And then I go and find you and I get a hug and then I don't want a boyfriend anymore."

Like. Bro. Sometimes my friends just need a hug without having to worry about anything else. And I'm so glad that I'm capable of giving it to them.

It's because I deposited $470 in my bank account with accumulated bills in November, before I even applied to Welfare, to pay for first months rent. They're counting it as "income", unfortunately, and telling my caseworker that it was accumulated over time didn't matter because it was deposited at once.

I cannot afford to miss rent. My sister is depending on me. It's due on January 1st, in 5 days. I feel so horrible about it.

Please, please. If you can spare anything at all. I do not have well-off friends or family that can help me.
