i don’t have anyone to ask this so i’ll ask it here. if i like watching vids like these but don’t think i’d like to be the one in sexual situations like these does it mean i can be on ace spectrum? but sometimes i think i’d wanna be the one helping future partner out but just i wouldn’t like to receive any of sexual treatment from them myself…..

the ace spectrum is really broad - i think the main thing to keep in mind is the difference between sexual attraction and sexual drive because being ace spec just means that you dont always or dont at all experience sexual attraction but you may still have aesthetic attraction to someone and really like the way they look - many ace spec people also still have sexual drive and still masturbate or enjoy watching porn and that can be totally healthy

keeping an open mind and allowing yourself to just be genuine to your own feelings will make your future relationships a lot more healthy too its all about communicating with your future partners and finding what works best for you both

genuinely a label like ace or ace spec can be so comforting to relate with but remember that as people we are constantly changing and you might feel differently in the future and thats just another part of the adventure of meeting people and evolving as a person too so dont feel like once youre ace youre saying goodbye to something forever - i use to consider myself ace spec and maybe i still am to a degree but its okay to feel somewhere in the middle too
