happy #AceWeek everyone!
ace people are everywhere! and we come in many different flavours
some of us go by grey-ace, or demisexual, or many other a-spec sexualities that fall under the asexual umbrella
being asexual is a lack of sexual attraction, whether it's always or sometimes
personality, I'm ace. I experience no sexual attraction
but, I am sex favourable. meaning, yeah, I'll do it if it's offered to me and I'm attracted to the person (in other ways than sexual), or if I want to please a partner. it's less about me and more about them
"I don't plan for sex, sex just happens to me" is something I've said before. and can be attested to. this one time I packed all my toys and was ready to meet my friends,
and then I slept through my alarm, and them calling me.
the night before and day after, tho, I was totally unprepared
other asexual people might be:
sex-neutral. they're more meh about sex than me, but not totally opposed to it
and there's sex-repulsed. this is when an asexual person really really doesn't like sex, in fact, it repulses them
and no matter what flavour of asexual, we're all valid in our sexualities
it is not a moral failing to not have sex
it is not a moral failing to reject sex
it is not a moral failing to want to have a relationship with no sex
there's a lot of stigma around asexual people, and i hope a little education helps dispel some of that
some of your friends are probably ace, you should just be kind to ace people? we do actually have it kinda hard. we are actually oppressed.
if you're mean to asexuals I will be mean to you 🔪
