Re: Do you feel the need to tell anyone (especially family members) that you're asexual?

I don't think you have to tell anyone. But there are perfectly good reasons to.

I'll tell my family that I'm not interested in a relationship right now and am not sure if I ever will be

It's great that you can tell your family that and that works. But for most people, it doesn't. "Why?", "Why don't you want to be a in relationship?" follows, and will keep following until you give them a satisfactory reason.

It kind of seems like telling your family you're into S&M.

That's pretty insulting. Sexual orientation is not a kink, it is not a preference. It should not be a taboo or inherently sexualized topic.


But apparently this means I'm "being dishonest" and "hiding who I am" according to some people, which doesn't really make much sense to me.


I don't think you're being dishonest unless you're answering the question "Are you asexual?" with a "No" when you believe it's a "Yes".

And hell, even if you're not asexual, do you feel the need to tell your family what you are/aren't into sexually?

I'd have no problem telling them but I'm pretty sure they don't want to know. And that's probably wise on their part.
