I got mine in September. I'd kicked the can down the road for years but finally pulled the trigger largely because of Roe being overturned.
The only reason I haven't is because I'm ace, so nothing's happening until I intentionally attempt for kids
I’ll admit that I’d never considered your situation before and feel that I have learned quite a lot very suddenly. Thank you.
I only recently started to realize that myself actually. Even growing up with LGBT+ folks exploding in visibility, it was always in the direction of allosexual folks. I grew up being conditioned to believe whatever I felt about sex should be ignored and that I should seek it out.
What I've realized is that I'm not sex-adverse like I assumed ace folks would be, I just don't care or think about it. I also don't get the hype around sex. That's also a valid asexual outlook. Some day I do want to be a dad though, so I need the very same family planning resources that are currently being chipped away.
What I heard: you’re up to it if you’re in the mood but you’ll never go looking for it.
More like, I will have sex with romantic partners if they want it but I won't ever go asking them for sex. I'm completely disinterested in sex with strangers. I tried to dance around it because some folks find the discussion gross, but an additional aspect to being ace for me is that it doesn't feel much different from masturbating. I still have libido, so both of those are just ways of handling a natural part of being human
Sweet, thanks.
