A very Happy Valentine's Day to any ace, aro, aroace, gray, demi, cupio, abro, quio, placio, akoi, fray and everyone else on the asexual/aromantic spectrum reading this!

Maybe we don't love in the "normal" way, but we're not lonely or broken or cold unfeeling robots. We still love in our own way and are worthy of love!

“Demisexual? Asexual? that’s not real you just want attention!”

You’re right. I do want attention. I want to educate you about the asexual spectrum.

I want you to pay attention to aces when we talk about our experiences.

I want you to accept us.

I want people to listen and learn about us and themselves.

I want asexuality to be commonly understood and accepted.

I want people to find the words that describe their experiences instead of going through their lives feeling broken when nothings wrong.

I want people at pride to not sneer at people with asexual flags.

I want queer advocacy groups to remember we exist every day, not just during ace week or pride month. I want you to listen to our struggles and help us create a world where we can struggle less.

I want to say “I’m demisexual” and have people not only know what that means, but accept it. I want you to learn about experiences outside of your own.

I want to plant the seeds of an ace affirming garden that the next generation will get to see.

I want an end to conversion therapy, to HSDD being a medical diagnosis, to medications being prescribed or denied because we experience little to no sexual attraction. I want doctors to not look at us with pity when we say “I’m ace, I don’t have sex.”

I want therapists to accept us and not blame our orientation on trauma.

I want to not have to educate every medical professional on what my orientation is, and assure them that I don’t need it fixed. I want them to not see us as lacking or broken.

I want you to see our experiences as different, not as lacking or broken or less than.

I want an end to corrective rape as a way to “fix” someone that’s ace.

I want people who are ace to not feel like they have to have sex because it’s there and expected from their partner.

I want young aces to have good lives. I want old aces to understand their past relationships. I want parents to accept their kids when they say “mom, I’m asexual/demisexual/aegosexual/aroace/etc.”

I want aces who have had and enjoyed sex to feel just as at home as aces who are sex repulsed.

I want aces to not have to give a Ted Talk on the first date about their orientation and the spectrum of sex repulsed to sex favorable and where they fall on it.

I want you to understand that libido and sexual attraction can be separate.

I want you to understand that asexuality is a spectrum, and experiencing rare/limited sexual attraction or having sex doesn’t mean we’re not ace anymore.

I want you to stop equating asexuality with virginity, celibacy, and abstinence.

I want you to understand the difference between sexual action and sexual attraction. I want you to understand we can have romantic attraction without sexual attraction.

I want you to understand that we may have neither romantic nor sexual attraction and that doesn’t mean we’re mentally ill or inhuman.

I want you to understand there’s nothing wrong with us, that we don’t need fixing, that we don’t feel like we’re missing out because of our orientation, but rather because you don’t accept us.

I want you to understand, and accept what you don’t understand anyway.

Of course I want your attention. Thought that was pretty obvious.

So, I was thinking about the Disastrous Life of Saiki K. and the dynamic between Saiki and Teruhashi. And I just think it’s interesting. How out of all the characters in the manga/anime, Teruhashi is only ever romantically interested in the one guy who she knows isn’t romantically interested in her. And it’s implied that the reason Teruhashi developed a crush on Saiki in the first place is because of his lack of interest in her, not in spite of said lack of interest.

It’s almost as though she only feels romantic attraction when she knows it won’t be reciprocated. What a neat character trait!

Haha anyways, for completely unrelated reasons, here’s a picture of Teruhashi in front of a pretty orange-y colour palette :)

Aroace pride flags x Lavender Haze

So I talked about how the gorgeous hunk in the Lavender Haze video, Laith Ashley, is actually out as ace, but I've been analyzing the video for other things to share:

First are hints of the aroace pride flag:

Since we've seen the aroace flag throughout the Midnights album rollout as well as in the Anti-Hero video, it was interesting to see it back again. We had a lot of ace flag coloring too. Like. A lot.

It's worth noting that while koi are also in Taylor's Tennessee home (which sounds amazing), there is also a microlabel on the ace and aro spectrums called akoisexual and axoiromantic. I've talked a lot about the term lithromantic on here, especially in relation to Red TV, and akoiromantic is another name for lithromantic.

Last thought is...This video gives strong Alice in Wonderland vibes what with her nod to the caterpillar blowing smoke rings. As my sister noted to me...what sticks with her is that the caterpillar says "WHO are YOU?" with great disdain and this video feels like someone trying to escape who they are to adapt to live in a world they don't quite fit in. Interestingly enough there is another microlabel, alicosexual, meaning you don't know where you fit in on the ace spectrum.

I also think there's some things that remind me of the "ace spike" microlabel, but that's for another post!

Thanks for reading and liking! This takes a lot of time so I appreciate it.

Peace and love 💕

🖤💜🤍 this is acelor where we document every time Taylor has looked like the asexual flag (black, grey, white, and purple stripes) or aromantic flag (green, black, grey, white) 🤍💚🖤

LITWICK

A Lithosexual Pokémon. Also known as an Akoisexual Pokémon, Litwick does not feel compelled to seek out physical relationships. Litwick may experience sexual attraction but does not want it reciprocated. Its flame is usually out, leading some to believe that when the feeling is returned Litwick will finally light it. Others believe that when its light is shined Litwick begins to drain life force. Its flame acts as a guide but in reality leads those that see it into the Ghost World. Life energy is what fuels this Pokémon. The younger its target, the brighter its flame will burn. However Litwick have no ill intent and only react to protect and look after themselves. They are also willing to be the guide to the spirit world when needed. If a Litwick is around a sick child, know that the child is in proper hands and Litwick will be with them to the end. *Fun Fact: The shiny variant has a black flame candle.

Dex+ Entries: Arodactyl. Anorith. Talonframe. Venomoth. Bichu. Tranquil. Cinderace. Ledian. Pantump. Nonbuneary. Bilotic. Zacian. Cyndaqueer. Dedemi. Chespin. Masquoirain. Hitmontran. Pansage.

Lithosexual / Akoisexual stuff

Today, I finally thought up the phrase: distance from physical reality.

Honestly, I've never met any other ace who ID'd as litho/akoi, but from a couple of anology (with pie and cereals) that I've come across, it sounds like the ace spectrum microlabel that fits me the most.

I never experience sexual attraction, the thought of having sex in real life makes me uncomfortable. I'm a virgin, but that might be because people just aren't that open about sex here, so I never really got trouble for staying virgin in my third decade of living. But!

I do fantasize a lot. But I don't fantasize myself in the way I look like in real life. I have a persona, and that's how I imagine myself in my fantasies. It's kinda like: imagine you can create an avatar to represent your person in an mmorpg. That's the figure I use in my fantasy. It's like imagining a doujin or hentai scene featuring your mmorpg avatar. So said, not every fantasy I have are realistic—in fact, lot of them are unrealistic and idealized. I feel like lots of those fantasies focus more in the crystallisation or essence of... something, about sex. Like the feelings, or the meaning of sex as a symbolism.

So, I finally formulated a definition in my head: that Litho/Akoisexual is like, only experiencing "sexual" attraction when the subject and object of attraction are distanced from physical reality. Like, we could like sex, but not on the tangible, physical plane lol

Idk, though. Does anyone here know where the term comes from? I've only ever encountered them in some infographic/listing, it seems to be quite a rare type

Note

is there a label for when you experience sexual attraction to someone, but as you get to know the person it goes away briefly but slowly returns? because i have a thing where i'll look at someone and i'll think they're attractive until i learn who they are after which point i'll stop feeling anything for them out of either guilt or disgust and then as i get to know them more i slowly start thinking about them more. is there a term for this?

Howdy! Mod Amaranth here

So I can't think of any one label that encompasses that entire experience (maybe Paris or one of the followers could add on if they do?), but fraysexual is the sexual attraction only to people you don't know/don't know well. Akoisexual/lithosexual (both mean the same thing) is when you experience sexual attraction, but don't want it to be reciprocated, and in some cases (a bit like yours, but not really?), your attraction can fade if these feelings are reciprocated.

As for the attraction coming back, demisexual is when you (usually only) experience sexual attraction after an emotional bond is formed.

It's possible you're somehow a combination of some of those labels, however contradictory that might be. You can identify however you want, though, so don't let anyone stop you from identifying as fraysexual and demisexual if you think that works for you!

Overall, though, gray a, or graysexual, is the catch-all term for just about every acespec experience, save for not experiencing sexual attraction and being allo. And of course, being unlabeled is always an option!

Hope this helps! <3

[ID: Three different pride flags, each with three versions. All have five horizontal stripes, with the colors listed in order from top to bottom. The first and last flag in each set is labeled with black text across the center stripe, with a blank version of the flag in between. The black stripes are in these versions extremely dark grey. The first flag is labeled, "Lithrose" and "Akoirose", and is red, orange, yellow, white, and black. The second flag is labeled "Lithsexual" and "Akoisexual" and is orange, pale orange, yellow, black, and ace purple. The third flag is labeled, "Lithromantic" and "akoiromantic", and is red-pink, pale orange, yellow, black, and aro green. End ID.]

Okay another offering for the community at large because I only just realized that the lithromantic / akoiromantic and lithsexual / akoisexual flags are the exact same thing.

I was really worried for a second I'd been calling the flag by the wrong name for years now, but, no...it's just one flag for both of them going by different names.

I don't remember how old the original flag is but I'm gonna just assume it's older than when the split attraction model started becoming more well-known...

anyways. To help clarify:

Lithrose / Akoirose: Where you feel attracted to someone but don't want it to be reciprocated, or you might stop feeling attracted once it is returned.

Lithsexual / Akoisexual: Where you feel sexually attracted to someone but don't want it to be reciprocated, or you might stop feeling attracted once it is returned.

Lithromantic / Akoiromantic: Where you feel romantically attracted to someone but don't want it to be reciprocated, or you might stop feeling attracted once it is returned.

=======

Please feel free to use the new pride flags here for literally anything you would use a pride flag for, no credit needed. Icons, headers, moodboards, redbubble designs, literally whatever you want. As far as I am concerned they're public domain.

(I use extremely dark grey in place of 100% solid black for the pride designs I make so they're visible against black backgrounds, and these were made on the templates I use for those, but you can obviously use 100% black if you want!)

The header versions of these will go in a reblog since they won't all be able to fit on this post.

(As a note, I usually refer to these with the prefix lith- rather than akoi- because that's easier for me to spell properly with my dyslexia, not because I have anything against the prefix akoi-)

this is a question asked during the SWAP-200 measure (Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure), used to assess personality disorders. what interests me is that this is the description of an asexual spectrum sexuality, lithosexual: someone who initially feels attraction towards someone, but loses that attraction once the feelings are reciprocated.

my question is, is there a higher incidence of lithosexual folks who also have personality disorders? if you have a PD and are litho, or have any insights, please let me know!
