A question for all the asexual women…



As some of you already know, I am asexual. I have an aversion towards sex and romance in general. What I find frustrating living in a family full of straight people is by the time I go to high school, they’ll start asking if you want a boyfriend and/or get married. Like, it’s fine if they ask only once, but it pisses me off when they keep on asking even though I already made it clear that I don’t.


I don’t want to risk my life getting into a relationship I’m not ready for and catch their man cooties (aka STD’s). What is it with straight people and the obsession of getting married and having kids? Speaking of having kids, I will never understand why straight people claim they want children and then complain about how horrible children are. Like YOU CHOSE TO HAVE THEM, dipshit!


Now comes the question, do you still believe in man cooties (man germs/bacteria if you live outside the US)? Why or why not? Would love to hear your thoughts down below?
