“Some asexuals have sex/have sexual attraction” yeah and some aces would rather rip your dick off and feed it to you roasted / make you smooth as a fucking barbie doll but you don’t talk about them do you?

Can romance and sex just stop existing now. Can we as a society move on.

Me: Clearly describes to someone that I am sex-repulsed and aroace.

That person: Proceeds to hit on me in a very sexual way and ask me to sleep with both them and their partner.

Me: .... :|

Honestly everyone give it up for repulsed aces/aros. Yall get so much shit for having boundaries and its frustrating to watch. You're all getting sent complimentary gift baskets

If I ever make a book it's going to be so painfully aromantic and asexual that any allos reading will die from a heart attack because of the lack of romance and sex

I am so deeply tired of being infantilised for being asexual. I am not a child with no understand of what sex is. I don't stick my tongue out and go "yuckie!!" Like a toddler at the thought of it. is some basic respect too much to ask for

Hey... Hey if you say you support aspec people that means you also need to respect repulsed aspecs. Non-partnering aspecs. Loveless aspecs. Platonic aspecs. Other a-attraction aspecs. Old aspecs. Young aspecs. Aspecs who use labels you don't understand. Non-sam aspecs. Traumatized aspecs. Dysphoric aspecs.

You cannot only support part of the community. It's either all of us or none of us. You can't play favorites because one kind of aspec makes you feel more comfortable than others.

When I first heard the word asexual over a decade ago, as a teenager dealing with the twin manifestations of compulsory sexuality that are purity culture and hookup culture, it was a weight off of my back. It was a light in the darkness that said you do not ever have to compromise on this boundary. Not now, not later, not ever. You can live a life where your body only belongs to you and no one else can tell you what to do with it.

This is the most important thing we can fight for, in my opinion. A world where everyone can do whatever they want with their own bodies forever— including never have sex.

There is no sexual freedom without indefinite refusal. Those who choose indefinite refusal are not your enemy. You only stand to gain from recognizing and fighting for us.

Why can’t we have a campy musical about an aroace person figuring out what they are, complete with a running gag where they constantly almost throw up when sex is mentioned

for the millionth time, sex repulsion (aversion) is the PERSONAL feeling of ick when discussing, seeing, or thinking about sex

sex negativity is shaming OTHER people for their sex lives, kinks, and/or sexual history

stop saying sex repulsion/aversion when you mean sex negative and stop saying sex negative when you mean repulsion/aversion! thanks!!

Had a bit of a "community heartbreak" last week, yet another one in a life-long series (though it'd been a while), so I malfunctioned for some days, took exactly one painkiller, and then finally tried to make sense of stuff that hurt me over the years and that I kept being clueless to for a ridiculous amount of time, so that maybe, hopefully, it could save some people in cases similar to mine some confusion and hurt

Being aroace is very important to me because I am in a world and society where romance and sex is valued so highly and those who do not participate in it are losers, boring and all sorts of other insults.

can we just all collectively agree that it is okay for aroace characters not to date or have sex if they clearly show no interest in it or repulsion?

can we respect that and not ship them?

or are yall too deep into amatonormativity…???

When ur on the asexual spectrum and you want to read fanfiction with fluff but have to scroll past the smut

me currently:

“i want people to have crushes on me so badly because i thrive on external validation and im super insecure so i really really want people to have crushes on me”

also me, being aroace and sex/romance-repulsed (if someone has a crush on me):

“pleasepleasepleaseplease nobody have a crush on me and ESPECIALLY DONT TELL ME because then i have to reject you and i hate rejecting people and then i’ll probably have to come out to avoid hurting anyone because i overthink everything ahahahha”
