      Hey, thanks… I didn’t know that was a thing that’s separate from asexual. I thought I was just Ace, but Aro-Ace is more accurate.

      Not sure it matters a whole lot. Haven’t given it much thought.

        Nope.

        I was straight for a long time (until I was 35). I think my brain chemistry changed through relationship and dating trauma. Seven years later and I continue to no longer feel attraction to anyone at all, ever.

        If I linked to the data showing that f/f couples have higher domestic violence than either m/f or m/m couples and then said ‘I keep asking “are lesbians okay”’, would you not think that a callous and insensitive thing to say, implying that it’s majority or typical behavior for lesbians?

      I enjoy working and making things. I find being intellectually stimulated almost as satisfying as being happy or anything else. You have absolutely no idea how much of a super power being an aromatic asexual would be for me. I’d be unstoppable, lol.

        I think I know what you’re getting at, I wouldn’t necessarily call myself asexual though, as I do watch… naughty things (I’m too lazy to look up rules, I’m not shy in that respect) I just waste a lot of time getting informed on politics instead, so no guarantees for more free time😉
