I agree 100% percent with you about this manga, I know it's only a stiry, but if someone says he's not interested in sex, he's not, let him understand himself first.
Off the topic, just like you, I identify myself as an asexual, but I do enjoy reading yaoi and smut, and when it comes to porn and asexuality it just depends on an individual, for example, I can watch porn and enjoy it, but it doesn't mean I actually want to have sex. And if something like this happend to me, oh I'd be so pissed an one friend short....
Thank you for your reply I think seeing a comrade made me feel a lot better about myself and my sexuality so thank you and honestly I already am one friend short due to some similar things though not that extreme just a rejection and fighting
Thank you for yor comments. I am also asexual and it helped me to know there is more people like me who feel the same as me.
Oh yeah I get you! It really piss me off too even tho I don’t think tamaki is asexual because for him. It’s more a trauma thing, people that loves you should be able to respect your boundaries. I really wanna trust this author because I really liked her other manga but for now...
As for the thing of liking yaoi as a ace person, it ‘s something I was asked a lot about in the past and people just did not get it (I’m aro ace btw) First being ace is a spectrum so even two ace people are different on that. Personally I know I enjoy reading yaoi and smut sometimes, because it makes me feel things I’m otherwise not capable of feeling irl (also some plot are great and some characters too) and even if I get in that “horny mood” I just don’t really feel the need of doing anything. I just like the feeling. And the beauty of it sometimes too (yeah, some sex scenes are work of art where you can really feel the affections between the two mains) And I sure as hell would hate if anyone would try to do something to me, especially a close friend (I once had one of my close friend who tried to date me. Just like Shii with tamaki here, he asked me to wait for a month before rejecting him definitely, a month where he tried to woo me. Luckily for me he was a good guy and always respected my boundaries but even stuff like his arm around my shoulders felt terrible and awkward af. I would have killed him if he pulled shit like shii)
Anyway, I got a little bit off road but just wanted to tell you you’re not weird for being ace and liking yaoi XD
thank you for this insight!!!
So I think I am asexual and that must be weird to hear from someone who reads yaoi manga and even I cant explain why I read it, for a long time I thought I read it because I was interested in it in a sexual way but then I tried to watch gay porn and didn’t feel the same interest. So I tried to watch bunch of different porn varying from straight to lesbian and I came to the conclusion that I had no interest in them. And kind of am in a dilemma. Anyway I decided that I was asexual because after watching and reading tons of stuff I decided that I was fine with seeing other people do it, but not be done to me. I wouldn’t want anyone to touch my lower or upper regions (once again I thought maybe it was because I never had a lover whom I trust but who knows) NOW this manga pisses me of so much because 1! Respect and consent! It is rape! If you think someone who is not curious about sex or at least not curious enough to try it themselves won’t just love having sex after you raped them. 2! You are betraying your friends trust! If I trusted my friend to hang out at his home and study or have fun this doesn’t give him or her the right to try something! Why would you destroy the trust your friend has on you?
