If Sex without Love exists
then why can't people understand
Love without Sex exists too?
Well, I am an Asexual too

[aayushi]

Coming out in India as an asexual biromantic takes a lot of courage, more power to her!

[Beeep]

When you realise a daily soap actress is capable of speaking such great words!!!

[rashmit]

She came out in India, she works in an industry where "it" is the happy ending. We need her strength to make a better world. Ma'am, your courage speaks to me beyond sexualities and spectrums. I will look up to you in my every weak moment. You have earned yourself a fan for life. Thank you.

[sutanukaadhya]

Oh God this is so comforting. The same story everywhere.."you have not found the right one yet" Glad she spoke for us asexuals

I m asexual n so is my partner... we love each other a lot... 15 years of marriage now... n we eve adopted a beautiful baby.... so believe me guys ... love is really beautiful (more than sex)...u can love evh other without being physically intimate... its difficult for some ppl to accept .. cos we were advised to go therapy/counseling n what not... no one understood n still don't...but its ok... we r happy n strong in our God bless all.

Asexuality is perhaps the only thing that is worse for men than women. A woman without sexual urges is somehow, sometimes looked at as a "pure and virtuous" person.
An asexual man is often labelled as "impotent"!

[dakshgarg]

She can become an awesome poet . Thanks for the likes I didn't expected that .

[shreenandandas]

There are women like her in India who get forcefully married because....they're women, then have to oblige to have sex against their sexual orientation and choice because...they're married and marriage in India is a certificate to have sex, they face marital rapes and they can't speak about it because....how can a husband rape his wife right? My heart goes out to such women, not everyone gets to express it, so I encourage every girl out there who knows someone from her circle who can't speak for herself to encourage her to do so.

[harshithsadhana]

there are many couples in this world who are Asexual & Romantic.

[stardust]

OK a lot of people in the comment section do not have any idea about this issue. Asexual people fall in love, have romantic feelings for their partner, but they do not have sexual desire, like either they are not comfortable doing it or they do not feel pleasure of doing it. But that doesn't mean they do not have any sex, a lot of people do it for their partners or when they need a child, but the frequency is less. They are like LGBT, they are born with it and its not a disease. Also do not misunderstand it with celibacy, celibacy is a personal choice that people make, they still feel sexual desire..

[PIYUSHGUPTA-jgyw]

Take a second to praise her speaking skills. Real excitement towards the idea you believe makes you confident.

[manjusangwan]

I don't understand this thing that on one hand, our parents don't want us to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, (and having sex before marriage is
And on 2nd hand, they choose some random stranger for us and expect us to literally have sex with that person as soon as possible and give them grandchild.

[AnirudhJas]

Very well said! She was empathetic throughout, didn't offend anyone, spoke with clarity and had a good poetic touch. Great!😊

[aastha]

I'm not an asexual but its beyond me why people shame others for being asexual... they aren't harming anyone. Mind your own business and stop telling people that they just haven't found the right one

[bengomabengomi]

My sister confessed that she is asexual, she doesn’t feel sexual urges. Till now We haven’t said anything to our mom because I don’t know how will she feel, or how will she accept the situation.

[sumitadas]

Nice way to get introduce to "Asexuality" I didn't knew it existed.. Thank you Sriti...

[dhritishukla]

Haven’t done it yet but I think that being asexual would be the best feeling in this world . With no sexual desires just love .

[fellieru]

As a demisexual I'm just so thankful to her that she is opening asexuality for so many Indian people.

[somirishabh]

This is the world we desire for! The genuine freedom to choose what i want and never judged.
