Let's have asexual sex together!!
An OKCupid convo that started off pretty good!! But gradually got crappy. So…do most men just naturally think women are stupid? I have to wonder about this. I really do. I’ve had at least 5 conversations with guys on OKCupid who start with “Explain asexuality to me. Intriguing! Amazing! I’ve never heard of this! In fact, I think…wait…I know…just...

Asexual Survey Thingy
1. How do you define your asexuality?
Aromantic Self-Sexual Asexual Fetishist
2. Are you out? If so, has that caused you problems? What was coming out like for you?
I am. My parents are pretty supportive, but don’t really understand it. Actually, they just tell me it’s fine, but probably think it’s a phase. Many people at work spend all day explaining to me how I’m not...

Parents
My parents know I’m Asexual. I thought they understood it. This weekend, they called me heterosexual and when I said I wasn’t…they were shocked. I guess the idea of my being Asexual still seems more like a phase to them or just a flimsy label on top of heterosexuality? Either way, I asked how I could be hetero-SEXUAL when I’m asexual, lol.

This means asexual people never look at other human beings and experience an arousal…

Anxiety Issues
It pisses me off that if you have a history of anxiety or have had anxiety attacks or are generally an anxious person, the moment you say that you feel unwell people immediately dismiss it as, “It’s all in your head,” or “You’re just imagining it.” That is so fucking annoying! Not only does it just completely ignore or dismiss what you have said, but it could...

Ummm first of all “straight asexuality” as a term for aromantic. If anything, heteroromantic people use that. And by saying there is “straight” and “broad” asexuality you are making your peers who experience romantic attraction be on a different level than you. I understand aromantic erasure but it goes both ways. No romantic...

Two weeks ago I took the train from Leeds (where I study nursing) back to Cumbria (where I’m from). It’s my summer holidays, so I’d died my hair bright pink for going home. It’s 3 and a half hour long journey, so I had a couple of books with me and my Ipod charged full with Jurassic 5…

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…
