You are not alone. I don’t know your specific situation but my asexuality is like a roller-coaster; some days I’m proud and comfortable and other days I feel ashamed and broken. My family is difficult. Only one person in my family, my cousin, knows I’m asexual. I have a deep fear of ever telling anyone else. I don’t talk much at family gatherings so I hear everything they say, nothing I’ve heard lends me to believe they would be supportive. The three friends I’ve told, had no idea how to react so they didn’t. It makes me feel very lonely. 

Does anyone else know what it’s like to be  an asexual? Does anyone know how frustrating it is? please tell me I’m not alone, please tell me someone understands what I’m going through, my pain.

Bachelorette Party

My friend is getting married, and I’m a bridesmaid. Now I face my newest pressing fear. The Bachelorette Party. I am dreading this thing. I am not sex repulsed, more of a sex neutral, but still not a fan. And this party is going to be awful. Mostly because of the Thing. Penises. Lots and lots of penises. There will be cakes, straws, confetti, banners, games, fake ones, and (of all horrors) real ones. 

I feel like I only have two options. Play along, pretend I’m interested and having fun, or decline the penis themed objects and food and be a buzz kill (story of my life). The last thing I want to happen is to be strong armed into explaining my orientation. I know these women; add booze to any occasion and they will nag at me until I give in and ‘enjoy it’ or explain myself.

The bride knows I am asexual, but the rest of the bridal party doesn’t know. I don’t have a particularly good relationship with a few of the bridesmaids and in simple terms: I NEVER want to talk about it with them.

I’m still getting the hang of this place. I’m nothing fancy. sorry I deleted then remade a different account. I don’t know what I’m doing yet. yeah, sorry
