Ohh I think there are no words to descrive how happy I feel everytime I see that you updated something, even more if is about this guys that you, my dearest author, make me adore. Thank you very much <3
I giggled so much at this~ XD
This page is a great example of why I couldn’t be in a mixed sexuality relationship. I am a very sexual/affectionate person, and I would be afraid that being involved with an asexual person would lead to a constant state of the lady version of blue balls for me. Even in an open situation where I would have those needs met elsewhere, the fact that I couldn’t have them met with the one I want would be like torture. I totally respect the couples who could make this work. They are stronger people than I am.
I couldn’t agree more. In my case, even when my normally-very-sexual fiancé turns down my advances (usually when he’s stressed), I feel hurt even though I intellectually understand why the rejection is happening. It’s especially bad when we have a few false-starts, like Anwar and Chris had here. Part of it is sexual frustration, but part of it is just missing the intimacy… and then I feel ashamed of being selfish, of wanting anything that anyone else doesn’t already want to give me.Then I end up hiding my feelings because I don’t want to impose. I mean, it’s not exactly a turn on to have a girl nag you for not having sex with you… especially if other methods of seduction have failed. So after a day of feeling that way, I finally break down, ‘fess up, and start crying. And that’s with a guy whose sex drive *usually* equals my own. (Thankfully that’s only happened twice with this guy, and it shouldn’t be an issue anymore now that he knows how much the repeated false-starts bother me.) I don’t think I could go without sex in a relationship, even if I had FWBs on the side. I absolutely respect and admire people who choose to have that kind of relationship though. Anything that makes people feel happy a nd loved is a win in my book :)
I’m glad I’m not the only one, Andrea. My boyfriend doesn’t like sex for the sake of sex, he only does it to show affection. Whereas I have sex to show I love him, but also because I just like having it. It can be quite frustrating sometimes to negotiate this–but we both try to accommodate each other. I generally find the longer I go without sex, the less I want it. Maybe it’s just sex withdrawal :)
And I echo the sentiments above: respect to those who make mixed sexuality relationships work!
I can recognize the situation in the comic too. I’m not as interested in sex as I have been before and can sometimes effect my husband but I still can give him pleasure, without even wanting myself. I love him with all my heart but I just don’t feel like it as much as I used too, that’s all.
Lots of good points from the other repliers! If I could add my two bits, it’s that sex never seemed to be an issue for me and my former lover. Even though I’m asexual, I don’t mind having sex. What’s important for me is touch, so we had a happy balance where I could touch her as much as I wanted, and she had as much sex with me that she wanted.
This video by Dr. Doe of Sexplanations actually illustrates this very well:

I can relate a lot also, even if my boyfriend isn’t asexual. He just has issues with sex/sexuality and isn’t that much interested (since it’s not often when the “pro” win on the “con” for him to have sex) so I fear a lot moments of “rejection”. And well, I fear also moments when I’m turned on when he’s actually not.
Loved the pun lmao xD
hrrrrrk. hairpulling+neck kisses, yes I can TOTALLY see why Chris is Really Turned On by this–fffffffuck, it’s hot. Just, the look on his face in the first panel. *chewing on my fingers* Chris isn’t even my type, Tab, I am SO angry at you rn.
I concur with this statement SO MUCH
I really appreciate how you’re writing this. Love love love. Especially Chris being so freaking responsible, or at least trying to be. It gives me warm fuzzy feelings. I do feel bad for Anwar and I am hoping for lots of happies to make up for previous stress and bullshit and asshattery… Great job with the comic, Tab. I’ve been following you since Nay and Amber’s story way back then (Teletha was my forum name I think, though I may have changed it to Pickleweasel). Anyway. Keep on rocking!
It’s also great how Anwar tries to be communicative here, too, immediately trying to figure out if it makes him uncomfortable or is a trigger of some kind.
I like sensuality. My former lover and I used to cuddle on the couch and watch anime. I enjoyed stroking her skin and petting her hair… but apparently this was a turn-on for her.
