Older asexuals
I often read the ace subs, and I noticed that they are mostly frequented by people in their twenties and thirties and even teenagers. So
I asked myself « what about the older aces? » The few articles I read about asexuality seem to show it like a generational thing (another way to rise up young people against older ones).
Are there any 40, 50,60 years old ace people and beyond here ? Do you know some? If so, I’d like to hear their stories and having other points of view. I’m 27 myself, which is not old and I only found out about asexuality when I was 25 or 26, thanks to the internet.
As far as I’m concerned, I have a close friend who is the dad I wish I had (I had a lousy genitor growing up, I don’t speak to him anymore). He’s a 65 yrs old white man. He recently told me that he would have prefered to stay virgin and have no trouble. That sex is not a big deal, it’s a thing that not really interested him and that he would have liked to never marry or even date. I thought this was one of the coolest things he ever said. It’s so refreshing and amazing. He also told me earlier that he doesn’t like sex scenes in movies. It’s great to feel so understood, he’s one of the only people around me who knows I’m ace (even though I don’t say that word)
Anyway, I’d like to hear stories and experiences of older ace people. For me it’s not a trend but something which always existed but no one talked about until recently.
