Pride Month as an Asexual
Dear readers,
This month is the time we celebrate different types of love! and so are the asexual folks. I've discovered that I'm ace since I was in middle school. I never understand the appeal of hookup culture or sex in general. I'm actually repulsed by the thought of it. Sometimes my brain will dismiss my sexuality by saying, 'Oh, Twinky, you're just being a prude,' or when I would become uncomfortable with sexual jokes, it would say, 'It's just a joke! Don't take it seriously'
AND it can also be isolating to be surrounded by allosexuals. I sometimes feel like the odd one who doesn't enjoy sex and the jokes surrounding it.
But as I grow more asexual friends, I feel much more confident in myself. The fact that I'm not alone in this makes me feel somewhat loved.
I'm lucky to have a boyfriend who accepts my asexuality and doesn't pressure me at all. If you ever feel invalidated for your asexuality, it helps a lot to have a supporting community or friends to help you out. I'm forever grateful for this site called AceSpace where I met all of my ace friends. The community feels so welcoming and cozy. I could just write about what happened on the forum, and there'll be nice people.
I love all of my friends, and God bless you all, my dear readers.
Sincerely,
Twinky Winky
