An asexual is someone who experiences no sexual attraction. An aromantic asexual experiences no romantic attraction but a romantic asexual experiences romantic attraction. Aromantic asexuals don't want relationships while romantic asexuals want relationships.
I was always a very sexual girl who craves for relationships which is so annoying at times. I honestly envy asexuals so much.
1. I wouldn't need to worry about rejection
It's never a good feeling to be rejected because of your looks and/or personality.
2. I wouldn't need to worry about STDs or an unplanned pregnancy
STDs have been on the rise and it's like you just can't have sex with anyone. I'll never know. My boyfriend could probably cheat on me and then give me an STD. It has happened many times before in other people's relationships.
3. Domestic abuse won't ever happen
People who aren't going to be relationships don't face the possibility of facing this kind of abuse. But thank goodness, I'm not facing this kind of abuse right now.
4. I wouldn't have to worry about getting played
I wouldn't ever get used for sex.
5. No heartbreaks
No relationships = No heartbreaks
6. I wouldn't get left for someone else or get cheated on
Something like this could happen and it's not a good feeling to be in that situation. Betrayal is a horrible feeling. It would suck to know that I wasn't his first choice..
7. I wouldn't be called a slut
That term just wouldn't apply to me at all.
8. I wouldn't be called shallow because of my preferences
That term wouldn't apply to me because if I don't date then I wouldn't be having preferences.
9. There would be more time to myself
I wouldn't have to be so involved with another person and make sacrifices for them. My mind wouldn't think about sex and love. It would think about other important things.
10. No weddings
Weddings are expensive. My sister's wedding will cost thousands of dollars. I don't want a cheap wedding because that would hurt my ego and not having a wedding will hurt my ego too because it just shows that I settled with a man and had kids without having a wedding. If I was asexual, I would never have a wedding which means no added expense. Weddings are also stressful, so what's the point of weddings?
I know there will be at least one person who will try to claim that asexuality is not a valid sexual orientation which is very dismissive and ignorant because you are basically saying that a group of people don't exist and are not valid. Just because you don't believe in something, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist!
