The truth about asexuality

So many people have told me "You can't be asexual, you're too sex positive!" or "You just haven't found the right person!"

So let's get one thing straight. ASEXUAL PEOPLE CAN HAVE SEX AND ENJOY IT.

There are so many people who think that asexuality includes no sex ever and that can be true for some people!

But those are sex repulsed ace people.

I'm a sex favorable ace which means I enjoy having sex. It feels good, it makes my partner happy and it's a way I show my s/o affection. But there's a plethora of reasons other ace people may have sex!

... Read moreAsexuality is often misunderstood, leading to stereotypes and misconceptions. It’s essential to recognize that asexuality exists on a spectrum and encompasses various identities. For some, asexuality means they have little to no interest in sexual activities, often referred to as sex-repulsed. However, many people identify as sex-favorable, meaning they may enjoy sex for emotional connection, physical pleasure, or the happiness it brings their partners. Moreover, asexuality is an umbrella term that includes numerous microlabels, each representing unique experiences and feelings regarding sexuality and intimacy. For instance, some asexual people may engage in sexual relationships due to societal pressure or relationship dynamics, while others are indifferent and may not prioritize sexual interactions. Understanding asexuality involves dismantling preconceived notions and recognizing the legitimacy of each individual's feelings. By engaging in conversations and educating ourselves, we can foster a more inclusive environment that respects and validates all sexual orientations and identities. Ultimately, navigating asexuality is a personal journey, with each individual's experience being valid and deserving of respect. Open dialogue and shared experiences can help demystify asexuality, thereby contributing to a richer understanding of human sexuality as a whole.
