Ask Aunt Lori - Asexuality
Dear Aunt Lori,
A lot of my friends are talking about having sex or wanting to have sex; a lot of them talk about not wanting to go to college a virgin. I have crushes and like to go on dates and kiss people, but I don't think about or want to have sex. I keep thinking that I'll want to when I'm older, but I still don't want to.
Is there something wrong with me? Am I broken? Should I get my hormones tested?

Ask Aunt Lori - privacy & handling gossip
"Aunt Lori,
I have an "invisible disability" and my family tells people about it without asking me first. I'm not ashamed of myself, but people's biases make it difficult for me when people learn about my disability. People often stop seeing me for my abilities and just see me as only my invisible disability. How do I handle this?
