Honestly, it's exhausting, but necessary. Here's my ace story, because we all have different one, and they all matter. Because it's confusing as all hell to go through.
Hugs and cuddles and companionship and pecks on the forehead/cheeks: that's all I really want from a relationship.
In my case I do enjoy masturbation, but when it comes to actually involving another person... nope. I'd rather not. There are a thousand more interesting things to do that don't involve sex.
Thank you for sharing this, so great to read- my experience is similar in a lot of ways- although I was 45 before a therapist suggested I was asexual. That was my fourth therapist, after six years in total of therapy- looking back I am amazed that it took soooo long for that option to even be placed on the table! There’s a long way to go in terms of getting awareness out there. I’d have been so much happier if I’d known/accepted I was ace years ago, I can only hope others can come to that awareness younger than I did.
Really interesting to learn about your experience with asexuality. I feel that there is too much pressure on sex from society and you should be able to do whatever makes you happy and use your body however you want. Thank you for sharing ❤️ 🤗

This is so similar to my story, just add on religion and the confusion of purity culture. Always happy to talk to others.
