I want a relationship that feels like home...

[sugar-capone]

I will never be able to recommend platonic love enough. I spend years trying to find the right romantic connection not fully noticing that I had built a beautiful life for myself with two platonic soulmates that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Just know that there is more than one kind of love in this world and it’s valid to choose a different kind of path.

what do you mean I have high standards? I just a want a companion who is expressive, communicative, and who understands my dramatic behavior. Is that too much to ask?

Ace-Spec Fears and Dreams

I am a person who experiences a notably low sex drive. It's not nonexistent, it's still there. But it varies from the social norm and causes me to look at relationships as an adult quite differently. In technical terms, I call myself 'demisexual' to be specific, and 'asexual' when speaking more broadly.

(I would suggest researching those two words and 'umbrella terms' if you are confused.)

Because of my asexuality, I often worry that I will not get the romance of my dreams. Not only because I lack the words to describe it but also because I don't trust that there is anyone to match it. This isn't the same as an unrealistic fantasy boyfriend, or dreaming of your celebrity crush. While I can relate to those, I am talking about the crushing fear that no one will be willing to show and receive intimacy the way that I am available to give and receive it.

What if no one is willing to date me without the sex? Sexuality fluctuates, if mine is so low alone, will it be gone with a partner? What if rises? What happens when I have a partner and then I change? Dramatic, but I think this can be related to by many.

But I love that in this new and expanding world of queer stories, that I get to hear/see/read more and more about intimacy of all different forms. Of emotional intimacy with family, and spiritual intimacy with your friends, of choosing to live with someone who loves you in ways you can feel, no matter how understandable to the outside eye.

I feel hope that I too will find the dedication, determination, and intimacy in a partner who will feel equally fulfilled and supported in what we share.

To my ace (and aro) spec peers, cheers to finding life and love in whatever way we need it.

For five season and one reunion movie Hayden Rorke appears as Dr. Alfred Bellows on the popular 1960s sitcom “I Dream of Jeannie”. In the show Bellows was NASA’s resident psychiatrist who tried to discover astronaut Tony Nelson’s secret. But he failed time and again.

But Rorke had a secret of his own that could have ruined his career… he was gay.

Rorke’s life as an actor spanned 42 years, starting with an uncredited role in “This is the Army”, a wartime musical comedy starring Ronald Reagan.

Rorke met his life partner Justus Addiss in 1953 on the set movie “Project Moonbase” where he played a supporting role. Addiss was the assistant to the producer.

Both eventually migrated from B Pictures to work on television. Most of Roake’s 151 credits on IMDb are for guest performances on TV episodes (and 129 episodes of “Jeannie”). Addiss became a director, working on over 40 different series including 3 episodes of the “Twilight Zone”, 10 episodes of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, 2 episodes of “Lost in Space” and 39 episodes of “Schlitz Playhouse” (including 4 episodes featuring Rorke).

Like many other closeted actors of his era, Rorke kept his sexlife a secret, yet quietly lived with Addiss for 26 years. Roake and Addiss would often host dinner parties for the “I Dream of Jeannie” cast at their home in Studio City. In a later interview Barbara Eden explained that the cast and Rorke’s close friends knew he was “unashamedly gay".

Addis died from lung cancer in 1979. Rorke died 8 years later from a cancer of his plasma cells.
