Asexual to Bi/demisexual

Deleted User

I never really adhered to heterosexual norms, I don't identify with LGBT either, I don't ever intend to have kids or conventional marriage, and I always valued personality and intelligence, interests, curiousity, kindness and introspection above physical attraction.

Though I still enjoy physical aspects from an aesthetic perspective and imagination I hold a small yearning for real, tangible emotional connection.

If there were networks or opportunities where this could be explored that would still seem too good to be true.

  • Okay hey so I don’t have much in terms of resources, but I can tell you you’re not alone. I have friends/family that are ace, bi, demi, polyamorous, etc. I even know a polyamorous asexual, as weird as that sounds. They’re out there. I’m just not sure how to find them, I’ve just been lucky to have landed in some social circles where non-heterosexuality is not seen as taboo.

    That I can totally relate with, as I’m not strictly speaking hetero either, but that might be the place to look for connections similar to your experience. My personal recommendation? Try going to some LGBTQ+ events as an “Ally.” Mask as an ally for a while, because allies are welcome in that community. Then as you become more comfortable and make some good connections, maybe consider unmasking as what you really are.
