Aromantic- little to no romantic attraction.

Asexual- little to no sexual attraction.

You can be none, 1 or if you are like me- both! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!!!

Greyace means you sometimes are attracted to people, but it's hit or miss. Depends on the person, on you, how you get along, whether you feel a positive, understanding vibe. And like most asexuals, it can take a LONG time for any feelings to really catch fire. It means people who do have sex, just not terribly often, and with low intensity.

Aromantic- little to no romantic attraction. So this means that we either don't get crushes or you rarely get crushes. Maybe 2 or 3 times in their life (this is referred to as greyromantic) and is part of the aromantic spectrum! Asexuality is the same ideas but instead of crushes its more of a sexual desire that they don't have. I hope this explanation helps a bit

I’m ace but I don’t know how to come out to the people around me. I’m in high school and most people don’t talk about sexual attraction.

For most asexual / aromantic people; no. However, there is a type of asexuality called greyasexual or demisexual. This means that it's possible to gain a sexual attraction to someone that you've formed a very close bond to.

Hello! I'm a part of the LGBTQ community myself, and I was wondering how being ace/aro/aro-ace affects relationships with friends and family!

Hi, I haven't come out to my family yet but I'm out to almost everyone else who I know! Luckily my friends are all very supportive (my friends are all LGBTQ+ except for 1 and he's an ally) so it hasn't changed much! Hopefully it will stay that way. I also haven't haven't had problems with anyone I know that doesn't fit into friends or family. Just a few questions!

I'm A-sexual and I don't want all these extra labels. Can't I just be Ace without having to explain it more? I'm not attracted to anybody, sexually nor romantically. Ace pretty much says that without all the extras. I don't understand the need for all these little labels and boxes.

Most if not some aces probably feel “ace enough”. In my case I knew I was ace but my thinking did not match with it. A microlabel helped me to fit in. However asexual is pretty much enough of a label for coming out

Ok I'm questioning myself atm. I had sex before but didn't really enjoyed it (toxic relationship and he didn't care about what I told him about my likings). Now I'm single and I don't really wanna have sex or be touched in a romantic or sexual way in general. I'm not shy of touch with friends or casual hugging but once someone tries to hug, hold or stroke me I get extremely uncomfortable. But I do enjoy mastrubation sometimes. I'm confused!
