[Reposting because I can’t see comments or votes on the other instance] Is anyone else ace but wants kids? (lemmy.ml)

I’m an asexual woman with a boyfriend. Although I don’t particularly like sex, I kind of would like to start a family with him and have kids with him.

I know I could just adopt, but I have no idea if I really have the money for that.

I am aware that me and my boyfriend alone would be considered family, but I also like the idea of getting to raise kids, what they’ll look/act like, being a Mom, etc.

I feel indifferent on the subject of having kids. When I'll get older, I'll volunteer for adoption, but that's as far as I'll go. Though for me, it has more to do with gender dysphoria than anything else.

That makes a lot of sense. I might have (not gender dysphoria but) body dysmorphia and that’s why.
