Ace Spectrum

fuckyeahasexual:

I will say to inform people who still don’t understand this. Asexuality has multiple side branches such as demisexual, graysexual, aro ace, panromantic, and various more. Some people just identify with asexuality as a whole while others identify with ace and a few other branches. Think of asexuality as a tree. So people who always say we don’t exist STOP CHOPPING DOWN OUR TREES.

I JUST HEARD THE BEST STORY ABOUT ASEXUALS EVER!!!

So my friends older brother (whose name is Adam) is asexual and is nineteen. He came out to his parents when he was fourteen, but this is how he did it. Adam: mum, dad, I asexual.

 Mum: no you’re not. You’re too young to know that yet.

 Dad: you just think that way, wait till you hit puberty

 Adam: fine then, do you have brown hair? 

Mum: ..yes? 

Adam: no you don’t, you just think that way. You’re too young to know that. Wait till you’ve hit middle age 

Mum: that’s not true I was born like this!! 

Adam: exactly, I was born asexual. 

Dad: ha! I bet you a hundred dollars that you will not be saying that when you’re eighteen 

Fast forward to his eighteenth birthday party. I was there and it was a really nice night, it finally got to the speeches. I watched Adam and he perks up one his father walks on. His father launches into a speech about him growing up, all the jokes and funny stories, one every year. When he gets when Adam was fourteen, Adam stood up and walked over to the mike. He leaned in and said, “Hey Dad, remember when I came out to you as asexual at fourteen?” His Dad laughs, “yes?” Adam then smiles and says, “I’m asexual.” His Dad then laughed and said, “You’re just saying that to get the money aren’t you?” quite a few of people there laughed, (Much to my anger.) Adam just smiled and said, “Alright, since that day, how many girlfriends have I had?” His dad replied, “None.” Adam continued with, “How many times have I brought someone home? how many times have I ever said anyone was sexy, or hot, or talked about wanting to have sex?” his dad, looking flustered, said, “None.” Adam replied. “Exactly, I have always been asexual, and you’ve always been too blind to see it.” By then, the entire room is silent. “That would be a hundred dollars,” Adam says. No one moves, then his sister and I both start clapping. 

Adam is good

I wish stuff like this existed when I was a kid

Dating While Asexual

fuckyeahasexual:

We’ve recently received an influx of asks for asexual dating advice, and it came to my attention that there’s not many how-tos on tackling the dating world as an asexual. There exists a couple of ‘how to date an asexual’ posts, but as far as we know, there’s not a lot of posts intended for the opposite party.

This is by no means a conclusive list of how-tos. Ideally, there should exist multiple resources for aces to consult. Sadly, that’s not the case. But my addition will contribute to what I hope will become a more helpful, more inclusive asexual resource world.

(Disclaimer; I’ve only been dating while openly asexual for about eight months. I’ve dated beforehand, but I identified as bisexual at the time. However, I’ve gathered up a few tips and tricks that I think could help those in need of some asexual guidance. If you have any questions, feel free to hit up fuckyeahasexual’s ask box. Or, if you want lesser ask traffic, you can hop over to my personal, millenniumfae.)

So, you wanna date while asexual! Good for you! No, seriously. It’s a brave decision, and one not lightly made. But maybe you’ve got a couple nagging doubts. Maybe you’ve never done this before. Maybe you wonder if you’ll ever be accepted for who you are. Maybe you worry about keeping yourself safe. These are all totally legit concerns, and you can address them.
