Ace Secrets
[Text: I feel like I don’t belong in any sexuality-based community. For a while it’s been easy enough to pass myself off as asexual, but the truth bewilders me: it is true that I am overwhelmingly more romantically attracted to guys than girls, I’ve never doubted this. But though my sex drive is not considerable, all of the sexual attraction I experience is focused entirely on girls. Heteroromantic and homosexual. I mean, what? Granted, I could be considered functionally asexual, since for personality reasons I am unlikely to have sex with someone to whom I am not romantically attracted, but it still feels like I’m a liar when I try to surround myself with the asexual community. And fitting in as plain ole straight, gay or bi? Forget about it. There’s always a lie somewhere in there. I’ve never even heard of anyone else with this orientation, only ever seen it discussed speculatively on AVEN. I’ve tried to cram my identity into a more common category but it just doesn’t fit. Has anyone else made this work?]
