Dating as an Asexual

by Alex

with Elyse

≠ Many of us are different in one way or another, so we try to fit into the social mold. Whether it is being asexual, or a preference like not drinking or doing drugs, playing video games, or anything else that makes us different, dealing with a world where we’re different has its challenges 🛑

In this episode, Elyse shares her experience as an asexual woman 🙅‍♀️ From her early teens pretending to have crushes, to struggling to communicate with people and partners who couldn’t understand or accept her the way she is. Because the pressures come not only from partners who (supposedly) care about you. They can also come from strangers who think they know better 🤨

💁 Whether you’re asexual, you know someone who is, or you feel like parts of you don’t fit with society in general, this episode will hopefully help you. Many of us have experienced social pressures trying to force us into other people’s molds. But that doesn’t mean that we have to disrespect our boundaries just to accommodate 🚧
