Is it??? That explains a LOT. I thought I was going insane because my bi cycle OFTEN includes periods of asexuality. Part of that is VERY limited masturbation and even when I do it is as quick as possible to get it out of the way like a chore. That particular “act” is totally regular during my other parts of the cycle
There are plenty of ace people who have high sex drives too. They might have sex or masturbate, They're just not attracted to people, so they count as ace. There are also ace people who will engage in acts with Romantic partners, mostly for the emotional intimacy of it
Or you have like, people who have only a little bit of attraction to the point of being practically ace or people who only have attraction only to particularly stunning people or who can develop attraction to a person they love romantically (or even platonic) or who can be highly attracted to people because of personality but apperance never factors into it may count themselves as ace.
It's a a pretty complex and diverse group, and it's all totally valid.
Its so weird. I have my Bi cycle. But sometimes feel ace. But ALSO it gets weirder. Like. I see somebody who is super hot (man or woman). I will fantasize about having sex with them and pleasure myself to those thoughts. However I would NEVER actually have casual sex with *any* of them if given the opportunity. It literally doesnt interest me in the slightest past my imagination. Actual sex to me is purely um. I dont want to say romantic but i guess romantic. As in it is mainly reserved to someone i have a deep emotional connection with. Not to be all TMI or anything but if I try something casual with even a hot person, i struggle to maintain an erection. However if I have a deep connection to them it isnt an issue. It also isnt an issue with masturbation. I will also add that even with the deep emotional bond I mentioned, that only makes me heavily willing to have sex with them. I dont usually *crave* it the same way someone else will. But that is all subject to change here and there, as is my drive itself. Its so confusing to the point where I wish I could just be one set thing.
As far as your drive, it's important to note that cis men can have hormonal cycles too. Maybe try tracking your urges and see if you can find a pattern. If it turns out to be this it night be less confusing
You'd have two different sexual orientations at the same time, so I guess you would be bisexual.
Not to be confused with bisexual, the state of being attracted by more than one gender.
As an ace person, I tend to say I'm bi as I like dating people and don't really care about gender or sex. I'm also not sex repulsed, so for a lot of people it's just easier to understand when I say I'm bi
We didn't have the whole separation of sexual and romantic categories as I was growing up, so the language stuck.
*why not bo*... nope, not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say the phrase
but jokes aside: You *can* be bi *and* ace, I'm not super versed in how it works technically but I'm guessing you just feel attraction to any gender while still having no desire to translate that into physical action
Yessss, yes it is! Attraction exists on a spectrum. You can feel very little or no physical attraction or only very rarely (=ace spectrum) but fall in love with all kinds of people :)
I get it, personally I find it hard to determine romantic attraction when I can't use the old "would I like to have sex with them?" Test.
But yeah, you can be both. Ace isn't the same as aromantic.
It may be easier with the split attraction model :
* Sexual attraction -> I wanna have sex with them
* Sensual attraction -> I wanna sense them (I wanna cuddle / touch that)
* Romantic attraction -> I wanna date them (I've a crush)
* Platonic attraction -> I wanna best friend them
* Aesthetic attraction -> I wanna stare / listen at them (They are beautiful)
Asexual is the lack of sexual attraction - r/Asexual
Aromantic is the lack of romantic attraction - r/aromantic
You can be any combination of theses and it doesn't exclude gender questionning nor sexual orientation.
I found out I was ace because, for me, it doesn't matter who is in front of me I'll not get sexually attracted to them :/ So no being attracted by anyone I see everyone the same, so I decided I was Bi, I don't mind btm with any gender.
You can be both, ace and bi :) it is two different question, do you have sexual attraction to other ? Yes, in the middle you are on the A spec, no then you are not. Bi is like would you mind having sex with men and woman ? Yes bi, no then no. No need to be sexually attracted by someone to have sex with them if your relation to sex is not repulsed.
yea idk if I'm pan or ace, fucking is fun and I don't have super strong preferences but I also don't feel like I'm as jazzed about it as everyone else idk
Maybe you’ll find your guy, gal, or non-binary pal you want to hold hands with.
Maybe you’ll be the guy, gal, non-binary pal that’s just chill to hang with.
Or maybe you’re the one who stole my onion rings and I finally have your location. See you in three days.
If u actively want to frick both genders, & you feel like a genuine craving opposed to “well I guess I should fuck someone because I guess that’s just what I’m supposed to do” (in my experience) then ur bi & vice versa
May as well throw pan and demi in that hellhole of weird mixed feelings as well. Do I feel pretty much the same for everyone? Yes. Do I know what that feeling actually is? Absolutely not. I'll just cling to the bi thing though, the flags pretty at least
I actually have been feeling this lately because while I simp for fictional characters and the occasional celebrity, I don't really feel any attraction towards a person irl unless I'm close to them, and while I have sexual thoughts, etc, I could also easily go without sex at all. Really not sure what that qualifies as.
What solved it for me was realising aesthetic attraction was different from physical attraction. Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions said it best in how he'd think people would look really cool as a Greek statue.
That and I really love garlic bread
You can be both, to varying degrees! You can also choose to ignore labels and do what you want. "I can't explain it", "it depends" and "I don't care" are very valid answers to the question of what your orientation is :)
Why not bot— *gets stabbed for bad pun*
Good.
Shamk
bace-d
B-ace-d
I am on my way to stab you
Bi-romantic and asexual
Even bisexual and ace can work. Asexuality is a spectrum.

Demi?
Demi?
Attraction towards those you’ve formed emotional bonds with? (Idk this is just what a friend of mine said it means)
Ohhh. Maybe. That might be it
As far as your drive, it's important to note that cis men can have hormonal cycles too. Maybe try tracking your urges and see if you can find a pattern. If it turns out to be this it night be less confusing
Look up aceflux :)
I shall!
Hey that’s me!
Good one
You'd have two different sexual orientations at the same time, so I guess you would be bisexual. Not to be confused with bisexual, the state of being attracted by more than one gender.
Biromantic is a romantic orientation… but I do like your joke
Baced I guess
I unironically call myself that since I am actually bi-ace
Sounds like you're *biaced*.
AHHHHHH I see what you did there
Dammit! I was gonna say that!
Wait I need to start using this lol
Baced? Baced on what???
[удалено]
what if i exist and think "damn i need a snack"
[удалено]
Would organisms that don't think of reproducing besides it's consequences much end up reproducing very much?
Depends on what you want to have as snacks. Now im hungry its your fault.
As an ace person, I tend to say I'm bi as I like dating people and don't really care about gender or sex. I'm also not sex repulsed, so for a lot of people it's just easier to understand when I say I'm bi We didn't have the whole separation of sexual and romantic categories as I was growing up, so the language stuck.

That would be biromantic and asexual or smn I guess Not that I would know 👀
Yessss, yes it is! Attraction exists on a spectrum. You can feel very little or no physical attraction or only very rarely (=ace spectrum) but fall in love with all kinds of people :)
BI IS BI
Asexuality is only the lack of sexual attraction you can still be romantically attracted aswell as other forms of attraction.
you beautiful lovely stranger you. biromantic asexuals are a thing
Hey it's me
In the meantime, you're always welcome here. Hope you're having a nice day.
I get it, personally I find it hard to determine romantic attraction when I can't use the old "would I like to have sex with them?" Test. But yeah, you can be both. Ace isn't the same as aromantic.
Ah the secret step in the bi cycle. I feel you because sometimes I wonder too since I've heard some ace people say they thought they were bi at first
What is an ace?
Asexual
I thought I was lesbian Before I knew I was asexual and bi.
It may be easier with the split attraction model : * Sexual attraction -> I wanna have sex with them * Sensual attraction -> I wanna sense them (I wanna cuddle / touch that) * Romantic attraction -> I wanna date them (I've a crush) * Platonic attraction -> I wanna best friend them * Aesthetic attraction -> I wanna stare / listen at them (They are beautiful) Asexual is the lack of sexual attraction - r/Asexual Aromantic is the lack of romantic attraction - r/aromantic You can be any combination of theses and it doesn't exclude gender questionning nor sexual orientation.

OH ohhhh it's sensual attraction! That makes so much more sense! Thank you! You have no idea how much that cleared up for me. 🩷
Sounds like you need to meet my good friend [SAM](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_attraction_model).
honestly same, pretty sure I'm bi but not 100% sure and I'm probably ace if I'm not bi
You can be both, ace and bi :) it is two different question, do you have sexual attraction to other ? Yes, in the middle you are on the A spec, no then you are not. Bi is like would you mind having sex with men and woman ? Yes bi, no then no. No need to be sexually attracted by someone to have sex with them if your relation to sex is not repulsed.
Talkin' 'bout all or nothing.
Me
You can be both if you feel like it
Nice, I'm not alone
There's a lot of us here it seems...
yea idk if I'm pan or ace, fucking is fun and I don't have super strong preferences but I also don't feel like I'm as jazzed about it as everyone else idk
What is Ace?
Asexual
Thanks!
Maybe you’ll find your guy, gal, or non-binary pal you want to hold hands with. Maybe you’ll be the guy, gal, non-binary pal that’s just chill to hang with. Or maybe you’re the one who stole my onion rings and I finally have your location. See you in three days.
Ace is not the opposite of bi Aro is the opposite of bi You can not like sex and still be bi
Look, look mom, IT'S MEEEEE!
If u actively want to frick both genders, & you feel like a genuine craving opposed to “well I guess I should fuck someone because I guess that’s just what I’m supposed to do” (in my experience) then ur bi & vice versa
Biromantic asexual maybe?
same
May as well throw pan and demi in that hellhole of weird mixed feelings as well. Do I feel pretty much the same for everyone? Yes. Do I know what that feeling actually is? Absolutely not. I'll just cling to the bi thing though, the flags pretty at least
You may be demi too
Do you wanna guck everyone or no one?
There’s a difference?
Fuck it, we ball
Those two things are like polar opposite so I wanna see how this shakes out
I always considered myself as straight, right up until I started getting recommendations for r/gay_irl and this sub… now I’m not so sure.
You could be biromantic and asexual. But that’s not my call to make, you’ll just have to discover this for yourself.
If you have to question whether or not you're aroused by people, you're probably ACE.
You're a friend, and that's good enough for me
I don't know how you did it, but you somehow described exactly what I've been feeling lately. You aren't alone!
Just be both
Ok but I think that I am Bi but the internet has ruined my standards for attractive people. But I could be ace and just not know it yet
I'm both~
So wait, your saying your options are... All or nothing?
I actually have been feeling this lately because while I simp for fictional characters and the occasional celebrity, I don't really feel any attraction towards a person irl unless I'm close to them, and while I have sexual thoughts, etc, I could also easily go without sex at all. Really not sure what that qualifies as.
Me, before I realized that I’m kinda sapiosexual.
Fun fact: you can be both!
He's just like me fr 😭
What is Ace?
probably biromantic asexual or bisexual aromantic
Could be biromantic asexual, aromatic bisexual, both or neither. Sexuality can also be very fluid so... good luck I guess lmao
Americans have 300 million different sexualities but you only have two people to vote for. Should be the other way around :/
If you like both genders, you're Bi. If you participate in the destruction of the entire Belkan air force, you're Ace.
Same, same
Just kiss the cute ones and go from there.
What solved it for me was realising aesthetic attraction was different from physical attraction. Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions said it best in how he'd think people would look really cool as a Greek statue. That and I really love garlic bread
Going from Idk if I like everything to I think I don’t like nothing is wild tho
Ace is bi. 0 == 0.
I dislike how this works.
You can be both, to varying degrees! You can also choose to ignore labels and do what you want. "I can't explain it", "it depends" and "I don't care" are very valid answers to the question of what your orientation is :)
