For the purposes of this post "Straight Edge" means no alcohol, tobacco or recreational drugs. Some definitions take it farther than that, but I just mean the basic one.

But yeah, I'm in my late 20s and have never really seriously partaken myself due to lack of interest. The only times I can recall are accidentally taking a drink of someone's Bloody Mary when I was a kid (Which I still remember was spicy as fuck decades later btw), and getting some 2nd-hand pot smoke at a friend's house once.

If you do, I don't judge, just try to be careful/not overindulge is all I'd say.

      that’s literally directly exclusionary to aromantic people

      ...someone personally choosing not to have casual sex or only have sex within marriage is not exclusionary of aromantic people.

      If they moralize that standard towards others though, then yeah, they're shitty.

          A person who is demi, allo, and ace often tends not to have random hook ups either. That personal identity isn't exclusionary because people do not owe anyone sex.

          There is a big difference between "I am personally choosing to do something" and "I believe everyone should have to do something".

          Maybe I'm misunderstanding you idk
