I have come to a conclusion
emerald-ace:
Asexuality is complicated.
No, strike that. People are complicated.
It seems to me, based on things that keep popping up on my dash, that the ace community isn’t particularly good on including everybody. I think that, particularly when trying to do visibility work and Asexuality 101, we tend to make generalizations that inevitably leave someone out, which is why we have people...

So I found this page on Facebook.
Click here.
I think it’s disgusting and it needs to get shut down. Not only is this sexist but it advocates violence towards women. This is NOT okay!
Please report this page, thankyou!

demisexuality:
So I was just thinking to myself…
Sex just seems really bizarre. I mean, I’m demisexual and all but jeez, sex is just so weird to me. And I hope this doesn’t offend anyone and no, I’m not trying to put anyone who has sex down or slut-shame, but to me, sex looks kind of stupid. Like, okay, so people get naked and cling to each other and roll around and stick various...

Anti on sex. (or lacktherof)
hush-hush-antitime:
I just want to clear a few things up.
I don’t want to fuck.
I am asexual.
Asexual does not mean I reproduce like a fruit fly.
It does not mean I hate people for finding me attractive, or complimenting me in a friendly way.
Just because I don’t want sex, doesn’t mean I can’t love someone.
Wanting to look cute in pictures is not the same as wanting guys to send you creepy...
Another note on being repulsed
aceadmiral:
There are lots of things in this world I do not like, to varying levels. Asparagus. People who don’t use their turn signals. Spiders. Toothpaste of any flavor other than green. And many, many more. Nobody’s suggesting I go to a therapist and checked over my burning hatred of tomatoes. Why should sex be any different?
Especially because, no one takes issue when I say “I hate...

Men, Aces and Tumblr
introvertactivism:
Men on Tumblr, especially the ones who are aces, are really annoying and act like they know everything. They condescend to women very often and act like everyone else should be grateful that they’re so enlightened. I’m not sure why that is :(
I’m sorry you feel that way, so far in my time here I haven’t come across any condescending ace males, I suppose it...

demisexuality:
I saw a post somewhere several months ago about asexuality, and how whenever someone of the asexual spectrum brings up a personal quality or issue, this is always used by those who don’t believe the person is asexual/in asexuality to cite a “cause” for the person’s orientation.
Note: extreme sarcasm ahead and this may contain triggers as it is written in the snarky,...

If you think you might be Asexual:
If you are unsure whether or not you may be asexual, and are curious to know what sex is like without having to actually try it with someone, there are a number of ways this can be accomplished. Sex is an assault on nearly all of the senses, and can be simulated thusly:
Sound: This can be approximated by repeatedly inserting a cucumber into a jar of mayonnaise.
Smell: For this, you will need...

nextstepcake:
So, I’ve been thinking about making some kinds of ace visibility materials - something along the lines of those kinds of pamphlets you see sometimes that are like “Bisexuality - what you should know”, or like “coming out as gay or lesbian” or whatever. Basic info on asexuality.
Agreed on the ‘what asexuality is not’ section.

I decided to re-post this for reblogging purposes and my own personal reference. It’s my commentary on aceadmiral’s post regarding taking a sexual identity word, such as “lesbian,” to describe oneself on account of one’s romantic/emotional orientation.

I think it’s really important for all aces who feel this way [“my romantic orientation does not make me straight/gay/lesbian/bi”]...

qwyzm:
Total Summary: Films (and the world at large) are incredibly heteronormative, cisnormative, and gender reinforcing. We make assumptions about characters’ sex, gender, sexual interest and orientation, romantic interest and orientation without realising it, and we are perfectly content doing so. We should probably change that, or at least educate kids about what the media doesn’t show...

Reasons Why Being Alone Forever Is Awesome

1. I can dedicate myself wholeheartedly to my career without any distractions.
2. All the money I make is mine and I can do what I want with it.
3. I can easily practice staying centered and balanced without looking for outside input.
4. I have a good excuse to practice self-love all the time.
5. I get the whole bed to myself.

The Marriage Rights Argument
outlawroad:
aceadmiral:
So, a lot of the time when people make lists of stuff that happens to LGBT+ people what doesn’t happen to asexual people, marriage will get tacked on as a right that asexuals are not denied (specifically for being asexual, anyway). And it is true that there is no law that says “asexuals can’t get married because they’re asexual” anywhere in the world that I know of. But...

I’m tired of hearing how romantic demisexuality is. I was trying to explain it to my ex and he just says something to the effect of “That’s a really good way to be. People are too quick to drop-trou today anyways… I’m happy for you… Good choice.”
This. Is. Not. A. Choice.

Answering some questions!
introvertactivism:
WHAT DOES INTROVERSION HAVE TO DO WITH ASEXUALS?
Most of us are introverts! Our tendency towards introversion can often be related to our desire to not establish sexual relationships with random people or pursue casual hookups. They’re definitely interconnected and I’m sorry, I don’t really have the spoons to make the case today XD Can some of my asexies help me out?
