I think I am asexual

I always figured I couldn't be "ace" because asexual people do not experience sexual attraction. But recently I discovered that a lot of ace people enjoy erotic fanfic and that sort of thing. As long as it's someone else, not them. I think that's me.

I sometimes find myself wishing I was in a sexual relationship. In theory. But any time anyone expresses interest, I immediately shut down and feel extremely uncomfortable. I tell myself things like, "I wouldn't want to subject another person to my body." But if I'm honest, I think that's me projecting my own feelings onto someone else.

2024 EDIT: I have come to think this label doesn't really fit me. I don't think it was wrong to try it on for a time. Everything I said here are still issues I struggle with. But I am slowly learning to work past them. Some days are better than others.

@Glassysky You could have gone without posting that. It’s exhausting for most women to receive messages like the yours

With what you said, you remind me of one of these guys. Tone deaf and I could see you commenting something like this to someone if they were genuinely struggling:

@Sorceress
This isn't a help & support site, but a niche fetish site.

If im trolling or having a little fun, whats the harm on a site like this?

I havent personally messaged anyone here to be rude or something, I comment on open posts.

@Glassysky How do you know this isn't a help and support site? Did someone appoint you some special all-knowing power?

What's the harm? Even asking that question tells anyone all they need to know about you.

I've had my fill. I have you on ignore.

So yeah, come back at me. I'll quietly laugh in your face and know you have zero worth to humanity.

@Ontheroad Gramps, you too old to be chasing pussy at this age. Take it easy.

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@Glassysky @Sorceress I mean, she's not wrong. But if you're going to be an edgelord, just make sure you don't start whining about how unfair the world is to you when you inevitably fall off that edge.

Glassysky · 22-25, M

@ShadowSister my comment was not a [i]rude[/i] but endearing one.

Im not a edgelord or whatever, like I said this is a niche fetish site, sometimes I make humerous comments

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@Glassysky I read your comment charitably, it's why I responded how I did. But let just point this out:

You: "Gramps, you too old to be chasing pussy at this age. Take it easy."
Also you: "Im not a edgelord or whatever"

I mean, if that's not edgelord humor, I don't know what is. But like, all good. I'm not here to argue. You do you, dude. Just keep in mind that not everyone finds that brand of humor endearing.

Glassysky · 22-25, M

@ShadowSister Is humour on a niche fetish site like this that vulgar?
I think my behaviour is in line with the nature of this site

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@Glassysky You keep calling it a "niche fetish site." I'm not on the fetish side of SW. Those folks are definitely here, but there are others. I mean, I wasn't a fan of your comment, but that doesn't mean I got my panties all up in a bundle either.

Glassysky · 22-25, M

@ShadowSister Thats because this is what it primarily is though. I understand that, but Im just saying my behaviour isnt abnormal given the nature of this platform.

Nevertheless, I do apolagize to you for the comment.

ShadowSister · 46-50, F

@Glassysky Thank you, I appreciate that. All good. I wasn't mad or anything. I wouldn't have even said anything if @Sorceress hadn't spoken up.
