Ahem *puts on best "ok people listen up" tone*
Good Omens (and everyone else) fandom! It seems we have regressed a bit....somehow? On the definition of Asexual! Let's clear this up!
Yes the actual literal meaning of the term: A=no sexual =....sex....well but actually no, which is the point of the post
Dictionary definition is why we are here!
Asexual: a person who experiences no sexual feelings or desires, or who is not sexually attracted to anyone.
Note the last line please!
Asexuality is a spectrum.
On one side you have: I cannot become sexually aroused by anything, and in some cases I do not want to
And on the other you (might) have: Literally any other stimulation other than A Face will do just fine!
Asexuals can be turned on by: the written word, a comic, a scene in a movie/show/porn/irl/etc, physical contact, etc!
There is a difference between attraction and desire! Allosexuals usually have that lumped into one thing, to them there (usually) isn't one without the other! If you're attracted to someone it means your body is uh...also good to go. For a lot of asexual people you can be attracted to someone, but your body's just off reading a book or something
Asexual people have crushes, fall in love, comment on how aesthetically pleasing someone is! But they probably don't want to jump their bones like right now (or possibly ever! Depends where you fall on the spectrum!)
You might say: no but! You're talking about demisexual people!
Maybe! Probably not! Demi is just a place way to one side of the spectrum. Where, after getting to know someone really well, you may actually look at them one day and go...."oh shit! Hi down there when'd you wake up??" Your attraction and desire have fused for this person/s...congrats!
An asexual person may never ever want to have sex with their partner. This is fine! But it needs to be discussed between everyone near the start of a relationship. And people need to acknowledge that "once you've found The One everything will click!" is pretty deeply internalized. Be sure you truly understand that that's not (necessarily) the case before commiting to a relationship
An asexual person may absolutely want to (awesome!), but have a hard time getting things moving (put down the damn book there are things to do!!) In which case it's good for all parties to see if they can figure out what sorts of things do turn you on, (as long as you're both willing and able), and how to approach letting your partner/s know they'd like to initiate fun times. (Without it coming across as awkward or pushy!) This makes for a healthy relationship!
"I'm doing this only to please my partner" is not healthy! It's also a really condescending thing to say about all asexual people! Please stop!!
And yeah an asexual person may indeed realize they're demi after starting a relationship! Neat!
Sexuality is like gender. It's all made up because we like labels! Your bits know what they want, when they want it! (Your brain ofc has the final say, I'm very well aware that bits go way off the rails sometimes, that's an entire other post lol)
Other people do not get to dictate how you feel, and like gender it can take a while to realize what your orientation may be. And that label can change so many times over the course of your life!!
Love who you love, have sex with who you (and they) want to have sex with, or don't!! But stop telling other people what they are and are not, simply because your definition or experience is different from theirs
(Please let me know if I've left out something crucial or gotten something horridly wrong! My research is personal/others experience + tumblr explanations + a google search here and there. Please do not come in my replies/comments/inbox telling me the whole post is wrong.....that's petty)

How can I be homophobic?
Johnny: Dad, are you homophobic?
Marcus, just trying to cook dinner: *sighs* Number one, you’re gay.
Marcus, points to Nooshy on the couch: Number two, I have a lesbian child.
Nooshy: *waves*
Marcus, gesturing at a family photo: And number three, your uncle’s bisexual and your mom was omnisexual. How can I be homophobic lad? Please, tell me.
Johnny, holding up his hands defensively: Just making sure!
Marcus, shaking his head: Sometimes Johns, I worry about you.

You can’t be Christian and a ‘bisexual’ you disgusting sin riddled mutt. Repent and fix yourself or you will NEVER see the light of Heaven. Pig.
If you actually read my profile you will see that I'm not bisexual, I'm bambi bi. Or I guess it's called squirrel bi according to some? Which means "biromantic" not "bisexual." And right next to that it currently says that I'm ace, though it's said demi in the past because I'm hoping that I'm actually demisexual and will actually fall in love with a Yah-fearing man and will desire to have sex within marriage. You obviously do not understand at all what I am communicating, but I will explain it once again.
Straight up: I am a VIRGIN. I've only been kissed a couple of times and it grosses me out. However, a fellow Christian, who is Chinese and female, was friends with me in Japan and she would hold my hand, walk arm in arm with me, lean on me when we sat together, etc. This is called "skin sisters" in Korean. There is nothing sexual involved. These are socially acceptable ways for girls to be affectionate with one another that part of the world. Get your mind out of the gutter, perv.
If you actually read the Bible, you will discover that we are all sinners. Also portrayed and encouraged: John leaning his head against Jesus' breast during the Last Supper, greeting people with a holy kiss, etc.
I've already repented, repeatedly, of any sins that the Lord has seen fit to convict me of. However, showing platonic affection towards males and females alike does not seem sinful to me. Do you have a verse to back up your accusations?
TLDR: you don't have the right to judge me, my Heavenly Father is aware of my heart's condition, you aren't.
