How to tell someone you're asexual:

"I'm asexual" ❌️

This is boring and not everyone will get what you mean

My blood line shall end at me" 👍

This makes you seem super cool and makes your point well

"The blood of my ancestors will cease when I eternally rest for I have no intention to breed" ✅️

Makes you seem Shakespeare-esque and articulates your point well 🧐

PSA

Feeling sexual attraction for someone and wanting to have sex with someone are actually two completely different but very similar feelings, and don't let any allosexuals (for whom this feeling is largely the same and very difficult for them to differentiate) tell you any different.

As an asexual (I identify as greysexual), I rarely feel sexual attraction even to my husband, but I want to have sex with him because he is awesome 🥰.

I'm still ace and it's still completely valid.

Sometimes I think I'm not actually AroAce, and then someone asks me if I have a partner/implies I might be pregnant and my instantaneous response is:

Oh, god no. Please stop. Nope, nope, n-o. Gross

coming out as asexual is way harder than it should be - because the majority people still have no idea what asexuality is. plus it is very different for each person.

I always struggled with coming out - I still do! - and I thought it was because I’m too protective of my inner peace. which in a way is true, only when I used to think I was bi, or gay, I thought “when the time is right I’ll just tell people and be done with it”. guess what! every time I have considered coming out as ace I freak out because I will have to ✨explain✨.

my point is, I wish people knew about asexuality, and I’m not just talking about cishet people but also the lgbtq+ community. it would just be so much easier.

and of course, it would take the fucking shame away, because it’s time. (but that’s a whole other discussion).

What is Asexuality?

An intro to asexuality! A quick intro to what the term means and some pop culture sources for if you want to explore more! Plus a short interview with my friend Heather, (she/her) on her experience and advice as an asexual person. Thank you Heather! 💖

It's important to remember that like any other sexual orientation, it's a spectrum and each person's experience is unique and one account doe not represent all accounts. As mentioned, asexuality is an umbrella term and some people may use it as just one of many descriptors for their sexuality! If you're unsure you can politely ask someone, but they do not owe you an explanation or a deep-dive into their sexuality. Why not check out one of the recommended books above or Yasmin Benoit's movement #thisiswhatsexuallookslike

If you have any more pop culture mentions or resources on asexuality, why not drop them in the comments! 👀

"Why am I horny?"

*looks at calendar*

*period is due in a few days*

*hormones are going crazy*

*(all women's bodies are different, this is just how mine is)*

"Ah, that makes sense."

I love my best friend. But, also: stop. telling me. about your sex life, please.

I don't need to know the details of your kinks and what you do/don't have consent for, and I don't want to.

The Sex Stances

Hello, y’all! I know it been a few months since I’ve really posted anything substantial, but I’m back! School and other extracurriculars just made it tough to balance posting information content while juggling that and still trying to pursue my hobbies. With that introduction out of the way, I’m going be talking about the sex stances today!

Sex stance refers to your own, personal opinions and feelings towards sex. This is not to be confused with one’s political stance which I have discussed in a post of mine about the difference between sex-favorable and sex-positive. This can include one’s feelings about, sex, certain sexual activities, and simply sex as a concept. While these stances are used primarily by those on the asexual spectrum, they are not limited to them and can be used regardless of sexuality. The romantic equivalent is romance stances which follow the same pattern.

There are many common sex stances, the first of which I’ll be covering is sex-favorable.

Now, I have talked about sex-favorability before in the post I linked above. I will still outline it here, but you can check out that other post if you really want to dig into to the difference between sex-favorable and sex-positive.

Sex-favorable is a term that describes someone who is favorable to the concept of sexual interaction or enjoys sex. People who are sex favorable may enjoy sexual content, enjoy sex or other sexual acts or seek out sexual relationships, whether that be they like the intimacy sex provides in a romantic relationship or they like the sensation.

Sex-indifferent describes someone who doesn’t have strong feelings towards sex or the concept of sexual interaction. Individuals who are sex-indifferent feel neither favorable or repulsed by sex or the idea of it but may engage in sexual activities for their partner, reproductive reasons, economic reasons, and many more reasons.

Sex-repulsed is a stance that describes someone who is repulsed by the act of sex or the concept of sexual interaction. Sexual activity may be uncomfortable, uninteresting, or generally undesirable to those who are sex-repulsed. However, this is not the same as lacking a sexual drive or libido or being asexual.

Sex-averse is similar to sex-repulsed, although it is not without its differences. Sex-averse individuals may be uncomfortable or disinterested with the idea of personally engaging in sexual activities, but they feel differently about sex when it does not involve themselves. For instance, someone who is sex-averse may be okay with sexual jokes, consuming sexual media, and the discussion of sexual topics.

I am sex-ambivalent and have made a post about the sex-ambivalent stance. That post goes into more detail than I will here. In that post I also contrast sex-ambivalent with sex-oscillating, another stance I will discuss later in this post. I will be providing more of a general overview in this post.

Sex-ambivalent is a stance that describes someone who has complicated or mixed feelings towards the concept of sex or sexual interaction. Someone who is sex-ambivalent may not fit neatly into the other categories discussed above (favorable, indifferent, repulsed, averse) for many reasons. An individual feelings towards sexual interaction may change depending on the situation, depending on the specific sexual acts, or because their feelings are confusing or unidentifiable. There are many more reason why someone may identify as sex-ambivalent. Again you can check out my other post for a more in-depth explanation.

Sex-oscillating describes someone who’s stance towards sex changes over time. Individual may find their feelings towards sex change frequently or infrequently. From my understanding, the key component that distinguishes sex-oscillating from sex-ambivalent is the fact that time is the variable involved.

Lastly, we have sex-drained which describes individuals who feel repulsed by the idea of sex because of trauma or exhaustion. Those who feel drained for reasons outside of trauma may identify with sex-repulsed.

We finally made it to the end! I plan on making a post going over the political positions on sex pretty soon, so be in the lookout for that! I hope you learned something today!

another post for the sex-repulsed aces!! if you are uncomfortable talking about anything sexual, whether it be jokes or sexual advances from others/your partner(s) or even consuming sexual media, it’s okay that you’re uncomfortable with it! it doesn’t mean that you need to be fixed or force yourself into uncomfortable situations! it doesn’t mean that you’re not worth any interaction or love that you may have been given had you put yourself in those uncomfortable situations. you can be uncomfortable, you can tell others it makes you uncomfortable. you can set boundaries.

being uncomfortable talking about sex in any capacity does not make you childish. it does not make you a prude or a tease, it doesn’t make you immature. it doesn’t mean you’re not competent or that you’re unaware. you don’t need to provide a carefully crafted excuse to not talk about these things. if you are too tired or don’t have the energy to engage with sexual things (conversations, media, etc) then that’s okay! and if you only say things like that so you don’t have to say that you just truly do not want to talk about those things, then please know that you *can* say that. you can say “I’m uncomfortable talking about this, can we please change the subject” or “hey, I’d appreciate a heads up if you want to talk to me about this.” people who really care about you will listen.

you can set boundaries. you deserve to communicate, to be more comfortable and to be heard. you are not worth less because you are sex-repulsed. you are an aware, competent person. you are intelligent and your hobbies and interests matter. what makes you comfortable matters. you deserve as much love and support and comfort as anyone else.
