Asexuality - Blog Posts

never ever ever gets old

God i heard about that. I have not yet had the pleasure of watching that episode but I already know it’s gonna hurt my ace little soul…😬

I always forget about the House asexuality episode... they went through the intersex episode, realized how bad they fucked the intersex episode, went back and did another intersex episode, and then decided House needed to disprove asexuality. In 2012.

The woman wasnt even House's patient!

I'm so fascinated (respectfully) by people who experience sexual attraction.

That's wild, you were just going about your business one day and what? The puberty fairy gave you an intense desire to kiss some thighs? You looked around and saw a bum and were like 'nothing would bring me greater pleasure than to grab that bum' It sounds made up.

Anyone else with this aroace experience?

I know the aroace community is not a monolith. I know we all have very diverse experiences. But I was thinking about how so many aroace folks had the "I think I'm bi or pan" moment because they felt the same/nothing for all genders.

I had the "I think I'm bi" moment too. But for me it was because I DID feel something for different genders. I felt incredibly strong tertiary attraction to boys and girls (this was 10 years ago and I was queer-sheltered so I had yet to meet an out nonbinary person), and bi felt like the right descriptor. I didn't have to "fake" crushes like so many aroaces. I just confused my squishes for crushes and blended in.

Even after I realized I'm aromantic asexual, bi still feels part of my identity. I relate to a lot of the bi experience. I feel strongly for several different genders, but I'm attracted to them differently. The way I'm attracted to guys is totally different than how I'm attracted to girls and nonbinary folks.

This is why the term "bi-oriented aroace" means so much to me. It describes my experiences with tertiary attraction perfectly.

Happy Ace Week!!! 🖤🤍💜

REblog if you are Asexual, support Asexuals, or spend most of your time actually thinking about Superheroes.

i used to think the term 'rearranging your guts' was a threat, like if you dont do xyz ill cut you open and smash your insides. very asexual of me

“sex/love is what makes us human!” people when then realize other animals do the same:

I love how intricate asexuality can be. No sex at all? Sure! Just want to watch? Brilliant! Only comfortable with topping? You go girl! Only rarely feel aroused and when you do it's very touch and go? Wonderful! Kinky but not in a sex way? Coolio! Queerness is full of nuance and people are complicated and things never live in a vacuum!!
