Anonymous asked: re heteroromantic=straight. That whole debate makes me so uncomfortable, mostly b/c, from my experiences, 90% of the time the people calling heteroromantic aces "straight" are doing so to try and force the label onto them, or force them away from using a label they don't agree with (ex: the whole debate about whether heteroromantic aces count as "queer" or not). (Emphasis...

Anonymous asked: Do I count as straight? I'm a heteroromantic asexual, but as I understand it, straight supposedly only accounts for heterosexuals. I know it's a silly question, but it just popped into my head and I thought I'd ask.

Hey, just wanted to mention that it looks like six years ago Fox news had a perfectly civil discussion on asexuality. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmXXgRvotGM) This “Red Eye” is something of a satire show that runs late at night.
Doesn’t make it any less offensive and terrible, especially because it shows on the Fox “News” website and with their logo. But...

Anonymous asked: Fox News had a discussion about asexuality on one of their shows. Instead of having asexual identified people on the show, they chose to make fun of asexual spectrum people. There is a petition going on at Change. org called "Instead of talking about asexual people, talk to us!" and I was wondering if the followers of this blog could sign it and spread the word because we need as many...

(In case you forget, this was my last message I sent you: I’m sure I’m aromantic, but I don’t think I understand it enough at all so I’m confused. I’ve only ever ever felt lust and friendship for someone. I mean, romantic attraction is still just an ATTRACTION, right? So like, I watch romance movies and I wish I could have a romantic relationship with someone, and I...

It’s about what I would expect from then.
Added TW. They managed a lot for such a short clip.
I was just scrolling down from a post that made me smile and I don’t think I have ever felt a smile disappear so quickly when I read that.
If you are sensitive to this, I wouldn’t recommend watching, you guys, just whip out your bingo cards and black it out, basically.

genocidertogami asked: I don't know if I'm asexual because I have an attraction to fictional characters (though I've only ever wanted to have sex wih fictional characters, not real people), but I think.. I'm pretty sure the idea of minors having sex triggers me. I don't wanna slap "trigger" on just anything but.. it gives me a tightness in my throat, chest, and stomach, and it's...
