Hi all!

This year I came out as asexual, I am also very much in love and happily married. After 10 years of my relationship I was finally able to articulate my sexuality to my partner.

I do truly enjoy being intimate with my partner and having a strong romantic bond but I have never experienced sexual/physical attraction before. I just don’t experience sexuality the same way everyone else does. He was completely understanding and happy that I was able to express myself. Things couldn’t have gone better! 😊

A lot of my family and friends don’t really understand my sexuality or acknowledge the validity of asexuality, but as long as I know and accept myself I know I will be okay.

Anyone else navigating a hyper sexual world as an asexual and learning to accept themselves? What have you learned along the way? How do you deal with ignorance in the face of your sexuality?
