Ayo the Sci Guys dropped an episode on aromanticism! It's mostly educational for those that aren't aware of it, it's premiering now!

[chronically-enthusiastic]

do you listen to the sci guys podcast?

I do!!! I started listening half a year, maybe a full year(?) ago, and I haven't missed an episode since!

I just watched the Sci Guys episode on asexuality and like gosh that was a weird experience to watch as an ace like I really hope they redo that with an ace on

And I saw this in the comment section too but it really was moreso of an allo's opinion on asexual stuff than an asexual video. Like honestly I think I've learned more about asexuality from Instagram infographics and they missed a few things like most notably, the Split Attraction Model. Which IDK if that's easier to find now than it was but they generally research a lot and they did cover another sexuality model and I feel like the SAM model has got to come up at some point if you're researching asexual attraction models

Like I really wanted to reach through the screen and explain things a few more than a few times which isn't really the experience I want to have when watching what's supposed to be a thorough almost 2 hour video on an intro to asexuality

And I know it's a year old but it was just a weird experience and a very good reason why we should talk more about asexuality. Cause that could've been a great conversation if an ace was involved I think and looking through their channel they didn't revisit it with an ace friend.

Still thinking about that time I sat down to watch a podcast episode (from the Sci Guys) about the science of prisons. I was ready to hear the same facts about how corrupt the justice system is and how bad solitary confinement is for mental health. The stuff I already knew.

And then they started talking about the mental effects (or lack thereof) of punishment.

And now, because of a single podcast episode, I’m forever wondering if we should even be punishing people when rehabilitation is the more effective and humane alternative.

Wtf man?

Heyyyy if you guys want to hear people talk about science and aromanticism for a while I think you'd like this video:

There's unfortunately not a lot of studies about us yet, but they talk about what there is and do some speculation of their own! It's very cool!

I'm really into science stuff and I'm curious the scientific reasons someone is aro or ace when so many people say the reason we are human is to have sex or romance? I don't believe that's true, I think we just..kinda exist. No purpose really

I never really understood the 'makes us human' argument. Animals have sex, and they do things like courtships and mate for life. So I'm not sure how any of that makes us unique or more human. (We are, one the other hand, the only animals that cook our own food.)

The science itself is interesting though. It seems like a number of factors play a role in determining sexual/romantic orientation and it seems to be a combination of nature and nurture. But there's also still a lot we simply don't know. I tend to agree with we're just existing though. We're just part of the natural diversity that is, and I think that's cool.

All the best!
