i find it weird when radfems dismiss asexuality or blanket label it trauma. like granted it's probably rare, but it isn't impossible or any less natural than sexual attraction. if it's possible for a lesbian to have no sexual attraction to a man despite being a "mature woman of mating age" and vice versa for gay men (without any trauma involved), i think being attracted to neither is just as normal.

lesbians aren't attracted to only women because they're traumatized by men but because they simply aren't attracted to men. it is heteronormative to insist that sexual attraction is only ever about procreation and not for things like pleasure, stress relief or bonding.

there's no need to pathologize asexuality when there's nothing wrong with it.

A month later:

[isabellascarlett1]

80% of Asexuals have experienced sexual violence.

50% of Aces aren’t out to doctors & 20% say being out negatively impacted their care.

Only 25% of Aces are out to friends.

10% of Aces have been offered conversion therapy.

Ace Week may be over, but advocacy must continue.

THIS IS OUR LAND

[herbirdglitter]

ok send help. I found this reddit post with a bunch of links to a ton of really cool articles on asexuality and resources and that kind of thing (X) but OH MY GOD. I���M DYING. One of them was a link to an article on what sexual attraction actually feels like (X) and NOOOOOO JUST NOOOOO PEOPLE ARE JUST WALKING AROUND LIKE THIS??? Y’ALL ARE CRAZY

Edit: for fucks sake, stop being so mean in the comments. I know what I said but people who experience sexual attraction are not crazy, nor are they gross. I was merely trying to illustrate how foreign these feelings are to me. Trust me, I understand what you’re saying, I don’t have a sex drive and I’m sex repulsed, but try and be decent human beings PLEASE. The allos are lovely. Sex is beautiful. I’m beautiful. Which wasn’t really up for debate but it’s worth mentioning

Walk a Mile in Our Shoes (ACE Version)

Hi, we’re asexuals.

Our childhood years? They’re pretty much like everyone else’s. We play, dream, and exist with the same carefree abandon. The distinction starts in our early teens, when the world suddenly splits into who you like and what you want. At first, we blend in. Some of us develop crushes like everyone else—on boys, on girls, on anyone really. Some of us don’t have “crushes” exactly, but there’s still a pull—aesthetic admiration, platonic fondness, or a soft fascination with someone’s presence. Straight aces, gay aces, bi and pan aces, demi aces—there’s no one way to be us. But here’s the kicker: for many of us, those feelings don’t come with a spark of sexual attraction. Or if it’s there, it’s faint, like the radio’s turned down too low to hear.

It’s subtle at first. The conversations with friends about how “hot” someone is seem a little offbeat, like a melody you can’t quite follow. Your peers are giggling over magazine cutouts and rating celebrities, and you’re thinking, I mean, they’re pretty...but so is the moon, and I don’t want to kiss that either. The realization creeps in slowly: the thing everyone else is buzzing about? You don’t feel it. Some of us try to fake it, playing along with the script everyone else seems to know by heart. Others stare into the abyss of “Why don’t I feel the way they do?” and come out the other side knowing something’s different. Maybe it’s that we’re disconnected from that part of ourselves entirely, or maybe we feel it only faintly, or only after a deep emotional bond (shoutout to demisexuals).

Here’s the thing—being ace isn’t about what we don’t feel. It’s about what we do. We love fiercely. We thrive in hugs, cuddles, forehead kisses, and holding hands. We crave intimacy, just not the kind that the world insists is the endgame for every relationship. And sure, we can fall head-over-heels for someone, but we also fall a thousand times harder for our favorite fictional characters. You think you love your angst-ridden, scarred, morally grey anti-hero? Try being ace and turning that into a full-blown religion. That’s devotion.

The hardest part isn’t the feelings—or lack of them. It’s the doubt. Am I broken? Am I enough? The world has a habit of making us feel invisible, like our identity is too quiet to matter, like the lack of sexual attraction somehow invalidates the depth of our love. To my fellow aces: you are valid. Your identity is valid. Even if the world screams otherwise. Even when you doubt yourself a thousand times a day. We get it. We’ve been there. You are enough, exactly as you are.

And to everyone else—lesbians, gays, bi folks, pan folks, trans people, queers, aromantics, demisexuals—you are all valid too. This world wasn’t built to celebrate our differences, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth celebrating. So here’s to us, in all our vibrant, messy, beautiful identities. Add your voice to the chorus. Reblog this post. Write something for your identity. Let’s make a little noise for the quiet ones.

I was listening to Epic the Musical again and was thinking that all Asexuals should be allowed a pet liar like Athena and then I realised that's just owning a cat

[beingaroace]

I think asexual Batman would make more sense. Pretending to be playboy, going on dates without having interest in any girl because that's what billionaire guys are supposed to be! But in real, he's very Asexual!

[alex-221-0]

Hey! Alot of people are confused on asexuality, so let me do my best to explain as well as I can.

Asexuality is actually a spectrum. While they feel little to no sexual attraction to a person, they can still feel sexual pleasure, and enjoy doing the deed.

Asexuals are capable of feeling romantic attraction towards a person. Alot of people don't know the difference, so let me explain using incorrect quotes: "Wanna fuck?" "No!" "Oki, wanna hold hands and get one smoothie with two straws?" "Hhhhhell yes."

That said, Asexuals can also be Aromantic. This is where the term "AroAce" comes in! Its where an individual does not experience sexual, nor romantic attraction. This does not mean they don't love anyone. Love is a spectrum, as well, after all.

While an AroAce person typically doesn't find sexual or romantic attraction to a person, they can still enjoy having sex and getting one smoothie with two straws with the homie. It also does not mean they can't have a partner! They won't love them any less.
