Asexuality Exists: Things That Are Not Asexuality →
redbeardace: (Cross posted over on AsexualityArchive: http://www.asexualityarchive.com/things-that-are-not-asexuality/) Asexuality is a sexual orientation where a person does not experience sexual attraction. That’s all it is. However, since asexuality isn’t well known, it’s often confused with similar (and sometimes not even remotely similar) concepts. Because of this, it’s important to point...

No Regret.: I got to explain asexuality to a... →
kaycaroline: One of my friends insisted that most asexuality was caused by “sexual trauma” and I insisted it wasn’t. Our conversation carried on to the elevator. Woman next to us: Did you say asexuality? Me: Yeah, I have a friend who’s asexual. Her: You mean like celibacy? Me: No, it’s not really a choice.

Me: So I’m writing a half asexual/lesbian love story. Friend: That’s so gay. {Pause} Except it’s not.      It got me thinking about how very much more complicated romance stories can get in the modern era, where non hetero-normative relationships are so much more widely discussed. We have Heterosexual relationships, homosexual relationships, bisexual , pansexual, transsexual,...

Asexual porn movie
asexualaxolotl: And in the part where the lead actress in her slinky negligee asks him if he’d like to come into the kitchen for coffee afterwards, she actually does make a pot of coffee and asks him about his wife and kids. It’s lovely.

Yes
“To help differentiate, if sex is a necessary expression of love, then prostitutes are the most loving people in the world.” -unknown author Yes. This is a great and simple comparison to give sexuals that think that you can’t express love properly without sex.

When I come out as panromantic to my parents....
Me: Mom, Dad, asexuals are a lot like the people from Avatar.
Mom and Dad:
Me: See, the aromantics are like non-benders.
Mom and Dad:
Me: And the straightforward heteroromantics are like earthbenders.
Mom and Dad:
Me: Then the free, peaceful homoromantics are airbenders.
Me: The adaptable demiromantics are waterbenders.
Me: And the dynamic biromantics are firebenders.
Mom and Dad:
Me:
Mom and Dad: Well, which one are you?
Me: I'm the effing Avatar.

I feel the same
brighteyesvanderde: One of the best things about coming to terms with my asexuality is that I no longer feel the need to compensate for my small tracts of land by wearing uncomfortable push up bras all the time. It’s not like I’m trying to impress anybody with my sexiness anymore. It’s brilliant.

30 Day Asexuality Challenge finished
18. Tell us a funny joke about asexuality.
 Um… I stole this from elsewhere. Not good at the joke thing. Why are asexuals bad at mathematics? They don’t multiply 19. What do relationships mean to you?
 Being with someone who I can feel intimate with, without ever going beyond what I’m comfortable with, compromise and cuddling. 20. Tell us about your partner(s). If you are not in a...

A part of a discussion about asexuality, which...
Person 1: What is the most ridiculous thing you have ever had to explain to a superior at your job?
Person 2: Asexuality to my manager. She asked me if we had a 'club'. So confused.
Person 3: And that's why I don't discuss that shit at work. Last time I literally got asked if it was like being a jellyfish.
Person 4: "It's just like being a jellyfish! I have a polyp stage and a medusa stage, and I reproduce by creating clones of myself! Also, I have tentacles."
Person 5: TIL the Japanese love "asexual" porn.
Person 6: Asexual porn.
That would be really something.
Person 7: "We could totally have intercourse right now!"
"Indeed we could!"
"But let's not."

So I had the talk with my dad...
Recently I ended up having the “I’m asexual” talk with my father. Twice. I had been throwing hints for awhile by that point. Watching vids about it where he could hear and such but I had never outright said anything before. I wasn’t sure how he would take it and really how do you bring that up with a parent? The Answer: He took it surprisingly well. Not that I realized...
