Is it normal that my parents are completely fine with me being asexual?

78% Normal
13 Comments

back then, i've always thought myself a late bloomer.
i'm 20 now (seems young and old at the same time)
i've never felt myself being attracted to anyone before, maybe admiration; the respect-kind.
never been in a romantic relationship, or physical.

i have finally categorized myself as an asexual. i am not entirely sure if my mother is aware that i am asexual or not, she never questions me about boys (or girls) though few old friends and relatives would ask that bloody annoying question "you've got a boyfriend already? :D' with the dumb smug smile.

maybe my mom knows, maybe she doesn't; but she sure as hell doesn't seem to give a batshit about it. i'm fine not being asked, but you know... i just got to know.

    It's none of their business what sexuality you are

    I think that it's great that your parents are fine with your sexuality!

    It's the same concept, what kind of issue it is, is irrelevant. You are letting stupid humans sway your view on other individuals.

    And since your thought processes are so corrupt I thought choosing a topic equally foul to compare you to was appropriate.

    Although, I can easily see you fail to understand your error. So I'll give up before it gets heated. Good day to you.

      hmm... is it not wrong wanting to know if something is normal or not?
      what is this 'error' you are referring to? the fact that i found no will to romance someone?
      maybe IT IS the same concept, as how homosexuals or whatever might be feeling but really, my question is "IS IT NORMAL for a parent to not be questioning me? "
      but thank you for commenting. :)

        That comment was a reply to someone else, it seems they deleted their comments. Not directed toward you at all, so I hope you didn't get offended.

    You're lucky; I've considered the possibility of being asexual. I've had crushes but don't think about sex. But I'm not sure my parents would approve, they've wanted grandchildren for a long time.

    I think it's AMAZING if your parents are okay with that. It's hard for other people with a different sexuality because everyone else feels sexual attraction to others of our species. Asexuals are the odd ones out, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. My sister is asexual and I feel so hard for her.

    Our parents, especially my mom, struggle with the idea. My mom has tried to influence her to be more attractive or keep her mind open to find a man someday. But she won't, she's happy on her own and isn't attracted to men or women. As long as you're happy and comfortable with yourself that's all that matters. And, it is hard for other people to relate to you since we don't have any idea what you feel or experience.

    I would say it's better for her to behave how she is than scorn you or try to change you.

    Most people claiming to be asexual tend to not be asexual, so I am not in belief of what you claim.

      right. i might. maybe? maybe not? i am unsure of it myself since you state that. so i'd probably label myself as "sexuality undefined." maybe that be for the best. :I

      With your logic, "Most people say they're Christian, but really they don't behave like a Christian should. So anyone who claims to be Christian is a liar!"

      ^See how silly that is?

        Not at all the same. Asexuality is a biological issue, religion is a belief issue.

        That's like comparing fire to water, simply because they are elements, you believe they are similar.
