Re: My jerkass opinion

[pantswarrior]

I'm ace and... I kinda feel the same way, honestly. After I came out as ace, suddenly like five of my friends declared they were also asexual, and although I can believe it in a couple of them (we tended to agree on certain stuff, hahah)... I have been a little skeptical about some of the others, and think they may have fallen into the celibacy = asexuality mistake.

But then I have people I've known for years who, because I am a Christian and also in a same-sex relationship, have apparently said behind my back that I'm just saying I'm an asexual because I'm afraid I'll go to hell if I'm a lesbian. *rolls eyes* So I'm pretty sure that what other people think about someone else's declared sexuality really doesn't matter, and what other people declare as their sexuality really shouldn't matter to anyone except someone who may (or may not) be a potential sex partner.

So in summary, oh well. Not my problem.

I obviously don't know your friends, but maybe they came out after because they were encouraged by your coming out? You know, felt safer after you broke the silence, so to speak. It's pretty common.

Yeah, it's possible, just it seems kind of unlikely in ALL of their cases. Statistically and anecdotally speaking.

But then again, through most of my early online life I kept winding up in communities made up mostly of LGBT folks and was like "wtf, how does this happen when I'm straight?" only to finally realize that I wasn't straight, so it happens. XD

I don't know. I was really confused as a teen, and went by 'celibate'. It never felt right, though, because celibacy is a chose you make, and I never had anything to abstain from, you know? The second I found out about Asexuality, I identified with it right away, since it was 100% what I had been feeling all of my life.

Re: My jerkass opinion

Funny you should mention that - I went by "celibate" too because I didn't know about asexuality, and I thought I was just like everyone else and they were just exaggerating about how haaaaaaaard it was to not have sex, oh noes, so terrible and difficult! Also exaggerating about "everyone masturbates, and does so regularly". So I thought it fit me just fine.

Until in my mid-20s I finally realized they weren't exaggerating and went "WTF" at myself until I happened across AVEN.
