"That's your choice."
cleatora:
No, mom. This is not my choice. Do you think I choose to be asexual? Sometimes, it would be nice to feel sexual attraction towards another person. But I don’t. And that’s not a choice.
I know they try, but damn! My family is really ignorant. I love them, but they just can’t wrap their head around this concept. Like, is it really so hard to do even a LITTLE research before you start...
Anonymous asked: A little over a year ago, I ended up with a nasty infection in one of my fallopian tubes. The doctors assumed it was from unsafe sex. I explained that I was a virgin, and they treated me like a liar. It wasn't until they went to perform the surgery that they saw that I was telling the truth (I never got an apology). The gynecologist kept telling me to see her when I was ready for sex, and...
Ace Predictions for 2012 →
Good ace articles?
anthean:
Hello to my ace followers (and anyone else who might run across this post)!
A friend of mine is interested in reading more about asexuality/demisexuality/grey-asexuality, and asked me to send him my favorite articles, blogs, etc. While I have quite a lot of links saved up, I’ve been less active in the ace community lately, so I don’t really know what’s been discussed recently and where...
Anonymous asked: I was hoping to get an opinion on this... I've recently come to terms with my asexuality. I've also recently come to the full realization that I really hate being called a "woman." I'm not a man, and I refer to myself as female, but I don't like other people explicitly calling me a woman (and I never have). I've always acted more masculine, but never mentally...
Fact:
toneyspeaksloud:
All asexuals are incapable of emitting sexual pheremones. This genetic trait has instead been swapped with a more shocking abnormality. When you rub an asexual’s tummy, their glads begin to secrete a much different chemical, one that smells very similar to their favourite flavour of cake.
Some asexuals, who thoroughly enjoy many different kinds of cake, smell differently at...

i need to brain wash myself that no one will ever love me. Boys are just full of disappointments.

However, demisexuals and grey-asexuals can only sniff out cake in a 15-mile radius.

‘You’re asexual you don’t want a boyfriend.’ You arrogant little shit. Just because I’m asexual doesn’t mean that I can’t love people.

Problems with sex drive/sexual frustration
gay-for-nygard:
Hi, this is pretty TMI but I’m stuck for ideas.
Basically recently I have been getting a high sex drive, but for various reasons I am unable to have sex with my boyfriend or masturbate. These are out of the question; I don’t feel comfortable doing either. It’s pretty bad- I’ve been wanting to self harm over it, and it’s been triggering depression. My questions are

asexyhipster:
I’ve started a personal tumblr full of my art, ramblings, tinychat stuff, and things I find funny. I figured I might as well make one to help keep asexyhipster a bit more focused on hipster ace macros. Feel free to check it out. If you ask me a question there, I’ll draw a derpy sketch as a response. :)

Aromantics and Romantic Traditions?
aromanticaardvark:
Just a question to all of you, how do you feel about mostly romantic-exclusive traditions? For example, kissing under the mistletoe (since it is Christmas after all) or kissing at midnight on New Year’s. Do you take part in these traditions? Do these traditions annoy you or do you just not pay attention to them? Valentine’s Day is another, too.
I’m asking since I was thinking...
Did you know this about asexuality? →
beautifuljohn:
OVERVIEW
An asexual is someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy, which people choose, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are. Asexuality does not make our lives any worse or any better, we just face a different set of challenges than most sexual people. There is considerable diversity among the asexual community; each asexual person experiences...
