Explain

I usually think my sexuality is fairly straight forward, despite it taking me a while to figure it out. Thing is, whenever I say I’m asexual, I’m always met with confused stares.

“So.. You don’t like anyone?”

“You don’t want sex?”

“What about kids?”

“How does being asexual even work?”

“Are you sure you don’t want to have sex?”

“How do you know you won’t like it?”

“At least try it!”

It gets exhausting after a while and I hate the question. But, I have friends who support me and help with this. Explaining it to my Mom was extremely hard, especially since she didn’t really understand what I meant. I decided to let her believe what she wanted and wait until I was more ready.

I am asexual biromantic. I may not be sexually attracted to anyone, but that doesn’t mean I can't care for somebody. It’s not something, I like to explain, but I should. So, in the future, other aces don’t have to.
