I'm ace/aro, and I absolutely think you can. But I also think that most people will find it confusing and may assume you're not really ace, and that the judgy ones may make judgy comments about it. So if you wanna do it, I say hell yeah! But also, consider that it may not be worth it, depending on how much people's opinions about you and your sexuality effect you.

Personally, I've never wanted to fuck (kiss/pet/whatever) anyone. But I do have this sort of...vestigial capacity for crushes? Like, I crush the way a ten-year-old might crush. A celeb or character makes me feel really happy, and my psyche kind of makes grabby hands at them. But then if I actually try to imagine touching them, kissing them, going on a date with them, etc. my brain is like, "NO. WHY. HUH?"

So I could absolutely toss out some crushes I have. But I'm always frustratingly aware that to most people, talking about those feeling is going to seem to invalidate my stated sexuality (and I'm wary of doing that, because a fuckton of people don't even believe asexuality is real in the first place).

Oh hey, I’m still not entirely sure about my sexuality (and I’m 35 so, uh, call me slow) but this is always how I crush on people. Whether it’s “wow they’re so awesome” or “I wish I could hang out with them” or even “whoa they’re really aesthetically pleasing,” the minute I try to picture myself in a sexual situation with them, or anyone, my brain sounds some kind of internal BZZZZZZT! WRONG! buzzer.

I’m not sex repulsed or anything but my brain can more easily picture flying by flapping my arms than getting naked with someone. It feels weird, not in a good way, but also not in a scary way. As if everyone else walks on their feet and I try it and end up walking on my hands again. I don’t get how sex would work if I was involved. Idk.

I'm 31 and even though I've been IDing as ace since I was 15, I still find my sexuality pretty confusing. I go with ace because the bottom line is I don't want to get sexy with anyone. But I wouldn't really say I'm not a sexual person, I'd just say I don't want to be personally involved in any sexual activity with another person. So I totally get how someone could be 35 and not be entirely sure about their sexuality. :)

This is a great description and I'm the same way. Hell (TMI warning) I've even tried, occasionally, to imagine myself with an attractive character while getting off. But my brain just wants to change the channel. And if I don't change the channel, my brain just kind of turns the "me" in my mind into another character instead, so that I'm just imagining two characters together. Which also isn't really hot to me, unless they're the right characters, but even two random characters is still less "DOES NOT COMPUTE" than trying to imagine me with anyone.

*shrugs eternally*

Anyway, I'm really glad you replied to my comment. It's so comforting to talk to another ace/potentially-ace/similarly-oriented person and just kind of compare notes. :)

Hey there! I'm basically the same as you. I'm 30 and I don't go "ew sex" or anything, but I've ever had any and I'm... fine with that? I also rather read about/watch my ship fuck while masturbating than anything else. I've never imagined myself with my fav character or... any other person really (except kissing when I was a teenager, completely with backround music lmao).
