@cali @taedryn yes, this. I had a (bad) therapist who was like 'omg you're missing out on this amazing experience, you should try to get in (quite literal) touch with that side of yourself!' but if I only listened to myself, it didn't feel like I was missing out on anything, it was actually people like her who pushed me into feeling bad about it and like I was defective?!

@alicemcalicepants @cali Absolutely. Being ace is not being broken. That's one of the big positives I've gotten out of it, is finally understanding that I don't have to mask this thing where I just don't care much about sex. The validation that this is actually pretty common, and not a big deal, has been very helpful for me. I hope you are able to get the same benefit out of it.
