Jaden is hated by Republicans for this video here. Many freaked out over it. While LGBt is a-political and an LGBT-Agenda is not-real and made-up, an anti-lgbt-agenda is sadly real though. Aka Hate. I mean, i dont wanna make some yt-content political, lol, but it is what it is: We do have in america an anti-lgbt-group... and its called... republicans...

Same!

Me too

Same as well

I am not but I support you and everyone here in this comment

@@jtuniverse7711 what?

I would not call that asexual. It is just more of she did not find the right person until then.

@@jamesraihl4697 There's a whole asexuality spectrum. Check that out. You'll understand what they are saying.

@@jamesraihl4697 she doesnt experience sexual attraction, but she has sex. you can have sex without feeling the attraction. asexual.

@@musicnerd2418 yes she might be a grey ace

Yeah! I'm aroace and I feel the same way about it. Partnered sex is not off the table, but it's just so very unlikely I'll ever actually encounter the circumstances where that was likely going to happen. And that doesn't bother me. Just like skydiving, I could live my whole life without ever experiencing partnered sex and I would be content with that.

@@Kotifilosofi I seriously had to have the argument with a sex-repulsed ace that you can have sex with your partner willingly and still be ace. It was so foreign to them that you could equal sex to, say, watching a movie together. Even if you might not particularly want to watch that particular movie, you could still do it to make your partner happy, without it being, as they put it "coercion". I was honestly a bit shocked.

@@Sigart yeah. Or you could actually even prefer the activity itself for the physical pleasure, and still be ace. You could try it to explore yourself, or whatever other reason. People can have consensual sex without being attracted to each others. To suggest otherwise is rather aphobic.

I'm part of the romance/smex indifference side of aroace, which means I'm really "meh" about the two attractions. Like there are days when I seem to think I'm favorable towards the idea of romance and smex, but in comes in the averse side of it coming in like "stop thinking that" lol. It honestly makes writing romance and erotica stories interesting with the whole push and pull feeling that ends up in a take a break for the characters until the next time.

Exactly, to a lot of people (ace or not) sex is like cuddling with more action

Wow where are you from? My parents were like no girls till you get a job😂

@@bullymaguire5838 I from Ohio. Nothing major, but my parents never pressured me to date or do anything like that. I also wasn't allowed to get a job until I graduated. I didn't get my first job until I was 19.

I feel this so much! 😂 my parents never pressured me to date (I think my dad would’ve been happy if I never dated anyone XD) but my family outside my parents were always like: do you have a boyfriend??? No one ever assumed I was gay (probably just cause I did briefly date two guys in high school) but now that I’m in my mid 20s and don’t have anyone, it’s all they ask 😂 I’m just wondering what ever happened to “how are you”.

This feeling.. I know it. I learned to ride bike before bicycle. when you hit the accelerator over 40 , your heart says "Calm down I can't handle it. I want speed but I'm not familiar with the fastness and motion." The thing is we want a person who can talk with us and spend enough time. so we can be open with them. we don't want to share ourselves with unfamiliar one. we are afraid that they may not care or leave us with our heart open , and this is understandable feeling. people shift their attention too fast these days. we introverts are like heavy protein ,we take time to digest , people want the chocolate and ice-cream. I was a fat boy till 18. I'm straight and was always interested in girls ,but never talked to any, coz I knew there's no chance they'll be interested in me. So I trained a mind muscle to push people away from my heart, a survival mechanism to not to get hurt. truth is bitter. did boxing for 3 year , got fit. and I know that girls find me interesting now. I'm 23 now. But I am kinda afraid to rush. I have two ways:- 1. I should learn the bicycle again. to fall again and again. and get familiar with the usual speed (meaning usual dating, applying tricks etc. learning everything like others from start ) will I be able to handle that now ? that's the question . 2. I should collect the money and buy a car . (means I find a mature person who know about life and not just jumping around with Harmons.) Will I find that person ? that's the question. Both needs further exploration . But either way. I acknowledge the fact that I'll be fine with myself and possibly with others. I learned many other things during this time. learned to I understand humans.

It's ok, this makes total sense to me.

Same lol

You are not insane,you are valid

nah you are just ret...ed

I watched this a while before I realised I was aroace (i thought when i first watched it, you haven’t experienced love yet but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen,) but in my experience at school I didn’t understand that romance was real because I thought it was a game kids liked to play on each other. One time, my friend tried to set me up with a guy and i skipped school the next day because i was humiliated that people were talking about us. I didn’t understand that she was trying to make me feel happy, i thought she was taking a joke too far. I really did handle the situation poorly, but it was fifth grade 😂 I told myself countless times that I’d accept romantic relationships were real once i entered middle school, then high school, and although in high school i finally “accepted” it was real, being everywhere, i still didn’t feel or understand it so I just dismissed it. Personally, romance was never pushed on me. Any time anybody asked if i had a crush, i just said no, and no one asked further questions. Now, i can’t even remember what it was that made me realise, but even though I’ve never pressured myself into love it feels good knowing I’m aroace because it means there are other people with similar experiences.

I love that thinking your bi and/or pan or in my case, even poly seems to be a trait we all share as aro and/or ace spec people, cause one of my closest friends is arospec and he also spent a Long while thinking he was poly bi like me. The way I rationalised it was more I feel nothing for all genders equally...so I guess I'm likely to be attracted to every gender? The poly came into play cause I Knew I was asexual, sex-repulsed and all that so I was like, I guess if I wanna be in a relationship I can be in one with multiple people so that whoever my partner/s end up being, they can fulfil their emotional and sexual needs without me having to be involved. I now realise that I was clinging to romance because it's so hyped up by all the media and I never really experienced any romantic feelings and would be super uncomfortable with being in any sort of romantic or sexual relationship. Jaiden's video came in time to give me that extra push into accepting the aromantic aspect of my identity, seeing her talk so positively and somewhat openly about it really helped me figure things out and come to terms with being aroace.

i... i think im realising something too

Thank you!!! exactly my experience. lol compulsive heterosexuality am I right, took me 14 years to figure it out. Definitely remember trying to "choose a male crush". Not aroace, but a lesbian though a lot of share experiences

Humanity has reached peak when a 5-6 yr child realize he is feeling gay.

@@max55436 Jaby literally said he knew he was straight when he was 5-6 as well, but I don't see you complaining about that.

@@max55436 you’re just homophobic lmao

@@max55436 dude, most boys have crushes on girls since they were very young. But I was a boy who had on crushes on boys since I was very young, not girls. Why is one okay but the other is not, even though they're both pretty much the same?

I knew I was Ace in middle school which isn't that young but it's still pretty young. Everyone was talking about crushes and I just didn't see the point 😅

I have always had a girl crush on Selena Gomez and still do. But I don't see her in a romantic light. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am definitely straight.

wow what a serious problem

@@gearjams6263 Yeah 😂

@@gearjams6263 it really is you haven't been through any of this We, the ppl living in rural areas are literally FORCED into marriages and sex saying it's normal and tge lack of education doesn't help at all

Alloromantic, or...?

@@gearjams6263 It definitely is. I'm glad u understand that 🙂

I didn't figure out I'm ace until last year at 35 thanks to the way I was raised. education varies a LOT

Unfortunately, nope. Although that night explain at least a small fraction of why kids these days are borderline mentally "deficient."

Sir you are a one lucky bastard

What school taught asexuality?

I'm 25. I know noone, not in my age, not younger than me, nor older and in my parents age that got taught about this in school. If you did then good fo you! You were really lucky. But no, most schools dont teach it. In sweden when i was in high school we at most learned about hetero- homo and bi. And that was it.

Same here.

Exactly. The difference is that for her it's literally like a business deal to think about starting a relationship; no emotions, no motivation based on the said emotions, just the facts side of it. When I still thought I'll have to start dating like everyone else, I did the same thing. And no-one seemed like a good enough deal over the cons they had 😆

@@Kotifilosofi For me, I went with it under the thought "eventually I'll find someone I like", without actively searching out a relationship. Thanks to Jaiden's video it got me really thinking I probably was aroace. And now I'm proud to say I am.

A best friend relationship is usually like... you remain two individuals that are just really close. If you want to buy a pool, you can, they only get a say if you give them one. Your lives are basically in parallel. There aren't any real expectations of you living together, moving in together, etc. either. A partner can and preferably SHOULD be one of your best friends as well as your partner. If the romantic or sexual aspects weren't there, they should still be someone you care about and want to spend time with and enjoy the company of. But more is expected of you as a partner. As the partner, you are the expected go to if they get sick. As the partner, you are the expected go to if they are acting weird with people to ask them what is up and check on them. As the partner, there is a stronger expectation for you to keep them in check if they act rude or say something insensitive to other people but also to DEFEND them if other people act toxic/rude to them. A romantic relationship is like, you are both individuals but you are also a team that agreed to work together, to engage in particular romantic and/or sexual actions, divide responsibilities and make an enjoyable fun life together or possibly even raise a family. You're CHOOSING to shape your lives together as an entwined unit over all with individual branches off for when you do stuff with friends, family or on your own. It is MUCH harder to walk away from than a friendship because often you share finances, share living spaces, and may have things you share together such as children or furniture or pets that can't always be neatly divided. There can be blurred lines as different people have DIFFERENT BOUNDARIES. Some best friends will cuddle or share a bed or stuff because they are platonic and trust each other or they might share a house, kids or even pets. But this is rare. Usually the line is drawn at sharing an apartment or cuddling but may go into sharing a bed with friends you really trust. It usually doesn't go further than that in terms of intimacy or sharing stuff for best friends. A partner isn't ALWAYS a FRIEND or the person closest to you though. If you meet them at a bar or cafe or something, you may ask them out or have sexual relations with them based on attraction. Then your relationship builds based on what you know about them or may disintegrate when you learn they are say, a Neo-Nazi or they hate cats. There isn't always the FOUNDATION of a friendship underneath a romantic relationship or the closeness of one. A 2 week boyfriend, most people would toss if made to choose between them and a 10 year best friend. Usually you hope to build to a point where they are your closest person if you meet in such a way.

@@ss.surprise That...that just sounds completely alien to me. Why would you get together with someone simply because of how they look? That...I know people are different, but that just sounds...bad.

That's not it. "AroAce is where you aren't into the romantic stuff at all. Or feel much of anything regarding fun times. ALLOACE is where you like the romance but don't like the fun times.

@@TheRibottoStudios Allo describes people who are neither aromantic or asexual. And then you can add it to one of them to show you are just asexual or just aromantic (since people tend to lump them together).

oh i realize except for me its for memories. im a writer so i visualize everything i create but when it comes to memories they are hazy at best. like i can see someone and go "they look familiar" but i cant tell where from. or if i think of someone i know, i cant clearly visualize them. rather its my family members or an ex

Yup, very much comparable in the department of "Wait, the rest of you aren't exagerating and being metaphorical?!"

i relate to that. like yea i kinda wanna be in a relationship but do i actually feel those things? no. but being aromantic is a big spectrum and this is definitely part of it!

You can 100% be aro/ace and still enjoy romance as a conecpt, youre just not romantically attracted to people yourself. Theres a microlabel for it too, Aegoromantic.

Unfortunately, a lot of people want things overly simple. Everything fitting into a neat little box to easily identify. Especially when it comes to aspects of sexual nature.

Functioning disorder vs healthy. Please don't confuse the two

There have been sexless people forever. And I don't really think any culture has ever made a big deal about it like they have against gay or trans people. So.....you don't want to have sex or be in a relationship. It's pretty meh.

@@blackalien6873 ...You realize that there's also a lot of shit done to aroace people in an effort to "fix" them, right? And if youre only one but not the other, navigating relationships can be hell, and people can get REALLY nasty about it. I wouldnt say its as bad as how trans and gay people are treated, but saying that no one makes a big deal about it is plain wrong. Im both, and the amount of people who started accusing me of being mentally disturbed and needing "fixing", including via r4pe is absolutely abysmal.

@@blackalien6873 There actually has been. Asexualism was actually considered a mental illness for the longest time. Amd the thing about there being asexual people forever, it's the same with gay and trans people. Most ancient cultures were actually okay with gay people, particularly the Greeks and Romans. It was only once Christianity became such a big thing that people really became against homosexuality.

I'm still dancing around graysexual/romantic and asexual/romantic. I thought I found myself.. but I probably really am aroace? Well.. one way or another it's still a spectrum.. the confusion was most likely made from me thinking I felt romantic and sexual attraction once.. but it was all just aesthetic... and now I'm more and more repulsed...? idk 😂😂 I'm glad you found yourself, tho!

I wasn’t Demi, until a few years ago when I realised I just couldn’t have a physical relationship unless I connect to that person on a deeper level. I was just bisexual till then. Now I’m Demi-bisexual. I love sex, but I need to feel that connection before I jump into it or else it’s just weird for me. 😌✋

You guys are Normal!! Stop categorising and making yourself weird.

@@Valkyrie1941 nothing is "weird" Abt it lol

How did you discover you were demi and not ace? Were you sex repulsed before, are you demiromantic as well? Was it a shock, did it feel like 'losing' your identity bc you seemed completely ace or were there grey / demi signs all along?
