Hi everyone! It's been awfully quiet around here so I thought we could do a little discussion/get to know some people on this sub. So please join and answer and hopefully we can have some fun and discuss the joys of occasional sexual attraction!

1. Where are you from?
2. When did you "discover" your sexuality
3. What is the worst thing about being a Grey-Ace?
4. What is the best thing about being a Grey-Ace?
5. Do you have any pets?
6. How do you feel about informing family members about your sexuality?
7. If you had one piece of advice to give other asexuals regarding relationships what would it be.

I'll start! 1. I live in the United States. I'm currently in Colorado but I was raised in Iowa. 2. About a year ago my doctor mentioned I could be asexual. It took me a long time to process and research before I felt comfortable with the label and accepted myself. I came out to my husband in January. 3. The feeling like I can't come out to people because many people I talk to, don't seem to get that asexuality is a thing, let alone that I occasionally experience sexual attraction and have sex. It's like it's a 100% foreign topic or language to people. 4. Not being alone. Know that there are others who feel the same way and experience attraction like I do. 5. I have a corgi mix named Winnie Rose. She is one of the best decisions I made in my life. 6. I feel like my parents or other family members don't really need to know. At least that's where I'm at right now. It doesn't really effect them in anyway and I'm not going to leave my marriage because I don't always experience sexual attraction. I'm still very in love with my husband. Plus I didn't have a family who really talked about sex and sexuality that much, if at all. My mom talked to me about my period and called it the "cycle" and got noticeibly uncomfortable while talking about it. In fact, I can't even recall them giving me a sex talk. I know I'll talk to them about it one day, just not right now. 7. I would say to be honest right off the bat. Don't wait to tell the other person. Be open and honest and answer any questions they might have. Yes it might limit your dating pool, but do you really want to date someone who is not okay with sex being rare or off the table?
