One great thing about being a Christian aroace is that Valentine's Day will not exist to me this year due to it being the same day as Ash Wednesday. I can't be bothered by romance when I'm worshipping the Lord.

I want to get married and have kids one day, hopefully soon, but like . . . I don't necessarily think I want to be/will ever be truly "in love" with someone. I've always envisioned getting married to a kind and honest man, going on adventures together, being silly with each other, having a great time as best friends, but I never really thought about being romantically in love with this fantasy guy. I want someone who I'll be excited to walk through life with and who'll be excited to walk through life with me, too, going through major milestones together and cherishing each other, but like, literally as ultimate best friends. That's always been all I want.

And listen, I don't even care if this person is asexual or not. Sex, like romance, has never been something that caught my interest or was a big desire for me. It's nice for others, but like, I really just want some cuddles and hand holding, even in public, and best friends can do that. Maybe some kisses as a way to further show love for each other, but platonically. If they happen to not be interested in sex except for reproductive purposes, too, then great, but if they do like sex then that's fine, too--go out and have a good time while I stay in and read, just don't bring any diseases back for when we try for babies, ya know?

Just. A queerplatonic relationship that leads to marriage and kids with a good fellow Christian guy that makes every other person who sees us go, "Aw! A wonderfully in love couple!" but we're over here laughing like "Nah mate, this is my ULTIMATE BEST FRIEND and I love them SO FUCKING MUCH but like, no romo." Ya know?

Does . . . does this make any sense to anyone else??

#historians would say we were in love but actually we were just ultimate best friends #valentines day really got me thinking about love and romance and being in love and i'm like . . . nah #i'm good fam lmfao #just give me that ultimate bestie that i can go to church with get married to and have kids with and i will be more than happy #with cuddles and hand holding and kisses but PLATONICALLY #i cannot stress that enough #aromantic #aro #asexual #ace #aroace #aroace christian #aromantic christian #asexual christian #queer #queer christian #marriage #queerplatonic #qpr

I’m new to this, but are there asexuals out there who feel like discovering their aceness actually bifurcated their identity more than united it? I know this probably has to do with being asexual but not aromantic, but I’m still struggling.

I’m nearly 29. I still long to fall in love and feel butterflies. I don’t have a great desire for sex, but I don’t think (?) I’m averse to it.

But in spite of the desire to fall in love and be married, I finally reached the conclusion that in the last nearly three decades, I have never felt those feelings for people. I haven’t dated a lot of guys, but I also haven’t lived under a rock. So now I’m trying to figure out how to move forward with dating in the future.

When I chalked up not feeling attraction to trauma related to my parents’ failed marriage or (what I assumed were) abnormally high standards for men, at least it felt like “You just have some more healing to do” or “You just need to meet the right one” truly were good explanations.

But I have sufficiently healed from my past trauma. 

And my standards aren’t too high, in general ... but the standard I was using to determine whether a guy was worth continuing to date was feeling butterflies (i.e., when I walk away from being with him, does it feel different from being with my regular friends?).

I never felt that feeling. And now I realize that I probably can’t expect to. 

So ... when I still want to fall in love and be married, what do I do? Do I just have to assume that butterflies can’t be a part of the criteria I use to determine if someone is worth dating? Do I just have to look at someone and say “you don’t seem any more unique than any other person, and I don’t really have a desire to see you naked, but I guess I’ll date/marry you anyway?”

I feel the butterflies when I think about my ships and read fanfic. I’ve just always hoped falling in love for real would feel at least a little similar.

Just like Christ (Original rap by Bunga Mercutio)

They said i couldn’t do it

That i was a scaredy fru-it

Just a Foolish Ambassador of Christ

Little did They know

I was making Plans, Letters an Outrage to Nonbelievers

Like L with all the Prunes in His tummy

Was gonna Change the WorLd not a Bigot Appeaser

Fallen comrades fake Friends none of it will get in My Way

Cuz like Christ i rose on the Third day

Cuz like Christ i rose on the Third day

NOTHING can stand in Bunga’s Way

Cuz like Christ i rose on the Third day

Caretaker to the Cubs when Murrs vaginx tires out

Caretaker to the Murr when the vaginx got gout

Caretaker to the QUEERS when the support runs out.

At the Attorneys stand like Atticus and Bonk doing whats Right 

Saying whats Right

Never fear, Never doubt

Cuz like Christ i rose on the Third day

Cuz like Christ i rose on the Third day

Just like Christ.

Psalms 95:6

“Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker”

* courtesy of the Bible app

This image was pre-made and I love it for two reasons:

ace colors!

the reminder that God created us and He deserves our praise

He’s our maker. He has made us exactly how He intended; there are no mistakes. When God creates something, He includes very unique features for a reason. That’s not to say we’re perfect (obviously not), but our asexuality doesn’t have to be seen as a mistake or a curse. I truly don’t believe it’s the result of sin, so let’s start seeing it as a gift and a blessing instead.

In 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:7, Paul said, “But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.” Paul, a guy who literally travelled and talked with Jesus himself, is showing us the plus side of being single. But singleness isn’t the same thing as asexuality. Let’s see what else Paul says later on in this chapter:

“I want you to be free from the concerns (or pressures) of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him. But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband. I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.”

‭‭~ 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:32-35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I love this verse because it allows everyone to serve God while also pointing out the simple truth that unmarried people (often single) do not have to worry about pleasing their partner. Maybe this doesn’t relate directly to asexuality, but I believe God has called me to be single until further notice. Unless I meet someone He wants me to spend the rest of my life with, I do not plan on getting married or having kids. This is a huge departure from my childhood dreams, but I’m honestly okay with it. Looking back, I only wanted those things because I didn’t know there were any other options. Now that I do, I see God showing me all I can do to serve Him during my “free time”. Besides, I’m a teacher, so my students are my kids. All 70-something of them. So I really do feel like I get to be a mom, older sister, and crazy cool aunt all at once. And that makes me want to bow down and worship.

You know what? I want a whole post for this:

Sex Repulsion is not the same thing as, or an excuse for, Sex Negativity

non-negotiable!

I am a sex-repulsed asexual. This means that I am uncomfortable and repulsed by the idea of engaging in sexual acts. This does not mean that I have an excuse to be repulsed by other people's sexual attraction or the right to police how other people engage in or express sexual acts or attraction.

Young queer people need to learn the difference between sex repulsion and sex negativity, and actively work to unlearn sex-negative attitudes. Asexuality, even sex-repulsed asexuality, is and should be fully compatible with sex positivity.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of other people feeling sexual attraction or engaging in sexual acts that do not involve you in any way, that is not sex repulsion it is the cultural Christianity and you need to seriously work on that.

#we as asexual people have got to have a talk about this because the shit i have been seeing is NOT okay #asexuality #sex positivity #this is largely intracommunity allo people can engage w/ it but don't be clowns #original post #500 #1k #PLEASE STOP TAGGING THIS AS 'CULTS' YOU CAN CRITIQUE A RELIGION W/O CALLING IT A CULT I AM BITING YOU #this barely even mentions Christianity like someone does not need to be in a cult to be sex negative. and also not all religions are cults #please be normal #other than that y'all have actually been very normal abt this one so far thank you #2k #5k

Anytime someone from church asks about my relationship status, I tell them to go read 1 Corinthians 7 and then get back to me.

I got pregnant, Virgin Mary style. And I wasn't allowed to abort it because the asexual reproduction in humans is so rare and Christians all over the globe thought the baby was the second Jesus.

Jesus: If there is only one lesson that you take away from my teachings, let it be to love all people of the earth unconditionally.

Modern Evangelicals: …Unless of course they’re BIPOC, right?

Jesus: I’m sorry, what?

Modern Evangelicals: Or if they identify as anything other than straight or cis?

Jesus: Wait, no, that’s not what I-

Modern Evangelicals: Or, worst of all, if they have a different opinion than us, or they try to question our way of thinking, or if they dare to challenge the corrupt leaders that we blindly worship, or if they-

Jesus: No, no, no! STOP IT! The whole freaking point of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is that you love and respect people regardless of their differences, because at the end of the day you have to realize that they are a human being just like you, made in my father’s image, and loved dearly by my father. So when you hate that person, you might as well shout out that you hate me and my father, the very people you claim to worship and love with all your heart! Is this starting to make sense now?

Modern Evangelicals: …

Jesus: …

Modern Evangelicals: …

Jesus: …

Modern Evangelicals: Fuck off hippie.

Jesus: Well, I tried.
