when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.

Asexual/aromantic allyship when an aspec person has a unique relationship with another person that isn't just being friends or dating

eroticism of the machine this, eroticism of the machine that. what about the AROMANTICISM of the machine. what about the electric comfort of looking at a beautiful turbine engine and knowing that it is just like you. what about the urge to cut open your chest to prove your heart is made of wires and your ribs are made of steel. what about that

I say typeface instead of font so everyone knows I don’t have sex and will never ever ever have sex ever

having a ponder about being aromantic and the kinds of friendships or qprs I might want to have

here's the thing. "ace people can still have sex" and "aro people can still be in relationships" are objectively true statements. this is because people can do whatever the fuck they want forever regardless of their label/orientation. however some of you have GOT to get your shit together and stop using those statements to undermine larger conversations about aspec identity. following up "ace people don't owe you sex in a relationship" with "ace people can still have sex in a relationship though!" is not fucking helpful! yes it's true. yes it's a reality for many people. however if we used our fucking brains for a second and thought about how following up "people don't have to conform to societal expectation" with "but people can still conform!! don't worry they can still conform!!!!" is counterproductive and very frustrating for a lot of people then we could get back to the actual point which is not "aspec people can still have sex/be in relationships" but "aspec people can do whatever they want with their relationships and their bodies". which they can, by the way. they can do whatever they want forever. and you should give them 200 dollars every time you see them for dealing with this shit

It’s okay to not want to have sex ever. It’s okay to never even try it.

look me in the eyes. you are aware some asexual people have sex, right. you are aware some asexuals aren’t sex repulsed. you do not need to baby asexuals and act like the slightest mention of anything sexual will cause them to die of a heart attack 

valentine’s day more like wednesday

Okay but shoutout to alloromantic ppl who are aro allies

Y’all are the best, i really appreciate you standing with us, making the effort to understand

I appreciate each and every one of u

happy aro month! abolish relationship hierarchies stay hydrated and be kind to urself and others. most of all be very very aro 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️

there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward

LOVE when people are like, you're not special, that can also apply to closeted lesbians etc etc when you're describing an aromantic experience, as if it's a gotcha moment. You're right!!!! It can!!!! And guess what? We as a community have more in common than we don't, and that should be celebrated, not used as a basis to dismiss one groups experiences and elevate anothers

AROMANTIC PEOPLE I CARE FOR YOU IN A WAY THAT MIGHT BE CALLED LOVE BUT SUPERSEDES IT IN EVERY WAY 🖤🖤🖤

No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.
