Sex is more than fucking. The fucking is great but even medium term, there absolutely needs to be more. As others have mentioned it’s about a connection, intimacy, and feeling sexually desired.

The scheduled part is only something that would bother someone without kids. With kids, you either schedule sex or only have it very rarely.

Scheduled isn’t a dirty word, it just means you’re making time for someone you care about. I’ve found it’s nice to have a time to look forward to.

I have only surface level knowledge of ace folks, so pardon the question: is scheduled intimacy something you could look forward to and enjoy? With optional sex… knowing that the sex isn’t something you need.

If being intimate without sex isn’t enjoyable to you, it you don’t think you could make someone feel desired (at any level, since it’s obviously not going to be sexual desire!,) then I would suggest looking for other ace or ace-leaning folks.

Yes they absolutely do.

I didn’t even know how much until I analyzed data from multiple particulate sensors! But yeah I switched from having my hepa filter off at night to running 24/7. And this is with an extremely good whole house filter.

ymmv I suspect homes with ERVs/HRVs wouldn’t be as affected since they’re introducing outside air regularly. I don’t have one and wish I did.

Agreed, but not zero for Trump voters or non-voters.
