This isn’t strictly asexuality related (although it could be if you like), but I know I have at least a couple of followers who might be interested. (At least, I desperately hope so.)
I have my exams in two weeks, and in preparation for that I’d like to spend reading week doing as much translation practice as possible. So, if there’s anything you’d like translated either...

I don’t think that repulsed aces need to be cured for the sake of the community or even at all.
What I do think is that some people use their repulsion as an excuse to say “eww, this is gross” when they probably would not have been as sex-negative in the first place without that repulsion. I’m not saying that this is true of...

I made a quick post last night about what repulsion/aversion is not, but my initial intention was to write a post about what aversion is. I’ve tried to think of a way that I could, you know, introduce my personal experience and then broaden it out, or try and weave together several people’s…
As always on this subject, I fully agree. The discussion was held on the...

What Aversion Means
I made a quick post last night about what repulsion/aversion is not, but my initial intention was to write a post about what aversion is. I’ve tried to think of a way that I could, you know, introduce my personal experience and then broaden it out, or try and weave together several people’s writing on the subject, but there is a problem with either of those strategies in that neither...

A Response to Slightlymetaphysical →
Reblogging again for germaneness.
Guys, I am but a humble observer of my bit of the ace community, but I feel comfortable asserting that the people who claim to throw up when they think about boobs or whatever are still in the detox phase. They are also making their comments on the internets, land of hyperbole. And even if they weren’t, tell me you have never heard of or perhaps yourself...

Since the people in ace tags who clearly have no idea what repulsion/aversion is seem not to be going away, let me help you out with a quick little PSA:
Aversion =/= Fear of Sex
There is nothing for a psychiatrist to fix.
Look, dudes, you need to STOP the “aversive people should get themselves fixed” thing RIGHT NOW. Stop “worrying” for us. Stop asking...
I wrote a response to the whole anti-sex/repulsion thing going on, but it was kind of really angry, so I don’t think I’m going to post it. Especially because it boils down to: tumblr, I expected better of you. :/

question about asexuality

Hello :D
The common definition in use for asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction. Sexual desire doesn’t really come into it. So people who don’t want to have sex, or who are afraid to, or lack a sex drive for some reason are not necessarily asexual, no. Those people are only asexual if they don’t experience...

Respect
There seems to be something going on in the asexuality tag that I can’t find the source. Since I don’t know all the particulars of the discussion, I don’t want to jump into their discussion, but I do have something to say about the topic, and I think it ties into something else I’ve seen floating around recently.
There seems to be a question of whether or not asking after...

aversive asexual erasure: maybe it's just me?
sidneyia:
I’ve been extremely indecisive over writing this post because I feel like maybe I’m just paranoid or imagining all this. It seems like, whenever I see a definition or a discussion of asexuality, there is a lot of effort to point out that “many asexuals enjoy sex!” or “many asexuals compromise and agree to have sex to please their partners!” or even “many asexuals identify as...

In the next week or couple of weeks, I’ll be posting a poll to get an informal idea of how people feel about various alternatives to “non-ace-spectrum” as a descriptor for people who are not on the asexual spectrum— are not asexual, grey-asexual, or demisexual. This poll will be open to everybody.
For that to happen, I want to compile as exhaustive of...
