More Words!
greenchestnuts:
Last night nethdugan coined the term “zesexual” as part of the “what to call people who aren’t on the asexual spectrum” debate. I like zesexual for several reasons:
1.) it is phonetically distinct from and in contrast with asexual. They sound good together: asexual and zesexual (pronounced, in my head, as Z-sexual, but that’s just in my head).
2.) “ze” is not a prefix with a...

Help? I’m looking for mentions of asexuality in scholarly discourse, particularly within feminism if possible. They don’t have to be accurate or positive portrayals either.

Hey, have you ever had sex with a tree? Well, I really think you should try it. I mean, you can’t be sure you’re not a dendrophile unless you’ve tried it. You just haven’t met the right tree yet.
No, you can know you don’t want sex with someone without being forced to have sex first.

mayorchub-deactivated20120511 asked: us. Really, it's no different from a person who dislikes a type of food, or a kind of fabric. People who don't wear sweaters aren't going to freeze to death, and people who are asexual aren't going to die of loneliness. Your preferences are not you as a person. They are part of you, but they are not your entire identity. So thank you for reminding us of that.
mayorchub-deactivated20120511 asked: I really appriciate this blog. It's very comforting, to just see little things on my dash every now and then that remind me--and probably a lot of others, that there is no one way to live your life, in any aspect. That it's okay not to feel a certain way, or to want to share yourself with other people differently than most. Or if you don't want to share yourself at all. I consider...
Anonymous asked: *too nervous to ask non-anon* If you...if you have thoughts of wanting to kiss people (not french-kissing), but are seriously uncomfortable with doing anything else...or being touched, really, does that make you asexual? Half-ace? Or are you just touch-phobic? I mean, I can hug people, but not really cuddle, so...

Dispelling Common Myths on Asexuality
1. Asexuality is just another word for celibacy. This is not the case. Celibacy is practiced by a person who generally does feel sexual attraction to others but refrains from sexual activity (often for religious or moral reasons but not always.) Asexuals are people who genuinely have no interest in any sexual activity with another person, regardless of circumstance.
2. Asexuality doesn’t...
