Do you like NY? I can't wait until I retire so I can move out of the DC area, but we do have good music venues and food.

The origin of my sexuality is a bit muddled. I've always been repulsed at the idea of seeing a man naked (even uncomfortable around other women, despite having been taken to many nudist locations as a child). I don't know if I feel this way because it's how I was born, or because at the age of four, I experienced some things that would, once I grew up and fully understood what had happened, cause me to develop PTSD. I don't know if my asexuality is organic or induced, all I know is that the idea of seeing a disrobed male in any capacity at this point in my life fills me with severe anxiety and fear.


Your aversion to sexuality,is based on your childhood experiences.

The cure,face your fears and the anxiety and fear will lose it's grip.

Fear,Anxiety,blocks the chakras,namely the root chakra(groin).

One may feel numb and or have a overactive sex drive and or none at all.

Ongoing stomach upsets in the 2nd and 3rd chakras.

Tensions headaches,mostly on one side,due to living solely in the head and operating either from the masculine(left) and or feminine(right) .

Etc etc,due to being unbalanced and living in a state of fear.

One tends to live in a state of avoidance.

Hence people lose there ability to feel.

I'm not, but a long-time friend of mine is. She's awesome.

My romantic orientation recently changed. It is now aromantic, making me aro-ace.

I identify as ace, but I'm lesbian romantic. I've never been in a relationship though I have a huge crush on a girl I'm talking with on Tumblr, but I'm not interested in sexual stuff. I ideally just would love someone to be with in a romantic sense.

I'm definitely ace, and I *think* I'm aro. I've thought I had crushes in the past (rarely), but I can't recall ever wanting to do anything romantic, except as part of a script ("you are dating, therefore you do x" - not that I ever dated anyone). They've always been the way they're described here - What's a body to do (Spiritual Friendship) - than anything that would be described as romance.

Yet I only really thought about the possibility of being aromantic after watching Frozen 2 a week ago. Funny how things work.

I know I posted before to say that I am aromantic and asexual (although I have come to the realization that perhaps I amdeveloping what would be classified as romantic feelings toward a good friend, which if I am, would mean I’m actually demi-romantic, I think). I’ve realized that I’m also agender (though I accept and am not unhappy that my physical body is female). But what I really wanted to add is that as all of these things, I do not feel like a part of the LGBT+ community because that typically centers around non-standard sexuality/gender identity, not a complete lack of either, which is what I feel like is true for me. I know that technically I could be, but I don’t feel like I’d fit in at all.

I'm pretty sure I'm a homoromantic asexual.

Provincetown and Northamton Massachusetts and Brattleboro and Burlington Vermont are super LGBTQ and ACE friendly.

Yeah I've been to P-Town, but when I was there, they were more geared towards LBGTQ, than ace/aro, but then that was in the 1990's

I don't think there is any city or area in existence that gears towards ACE/ARO.It's still largely unknown,and most people associate voluntary celibacy with religious zeal and spiritual piety and don't understand some people don't feel sexual or romantic attraction.The LGBT umbrella is the only real option at this point,if you know a place in the world that's into ACE/ARO specifically then please do enlighten us.
