Just a small section of the asexual groups on Fetlife! Many ace people are a part of the kink community because kink is not always about sex! Kink can provide ways to play and be physically intimate without sex, which can be liberating!
the aro & ace space network! a network for people under the ace and/or aro spectrum to talk and get to know other people like us, to share a safe space, and to defy the discourse so commonly pinned against us in the general community!
how to join:
be anywhere on the aro spectrum, ace spectrum, or both.
reblog this post - it would help us to boost and gain more wonderful members - or simply like or just leave it if you are in the closet.
and fill in this simple typeformjust to give us a better idea of who you are, and for organisation purposes.
there is no limit or close date for becoming a member of this network.
asexuals before realizing they’re ace: isn’t it weird how we call people “hot” when we just mean, like, pretty? it makes it sound like you actually feel hot when you see them. which isn’t a thing. anyway
ok i am absolutely losing it over the sheer number of people who found out what hot means from this post
Man, this is like the time my therapist explained that watching characters with “chemistry” is supposed to make you feel aroused. Who knew, right?
I’m sorry what?
I thought it was supposed to make you intrigued like any other plot device
happy ace visibility day! reminder to everyone on the ace spectrum that people can see us today and we need to be more careful when committing any potential crimes we may or may not be doing. thank you, this has been a psa
I want to say that such a big youtuber coming out as aroace is such a step forward in representation in general of course, but also specifically by using the rainbow flag and only ever portraying those two identities as unquestionably being part of the LGBTQ+ community in her video, a huge step forward for the general opinion to properly consider us part of the community since it’s unfortunately a “debate”. She really reaffirmed our belonging in the community and that is so impactful.
Hi, ace-spec friends! A friend of mine is doing a really cool research project on asexuality, but needs to conduct interviews with ace-spec people for that to work! If you’d like to participate or learn more please drop me a line and I’ll pass along contact info. Interviews can be done over the internet, or in person if you’re near Eau Claire, WI.
Is someone maintaining an up-to-date bibliography of papers (etc.) about asexuality? The one at Asexual Explorations stopped being updated a couple of years ago, and I don’t know if someone else picked it up and ran with it.
I am worried. I am worried about what it will mean to live on my own. I am worried that I have nothing in particular that I want to do with my life. I am worried that I am going to go to back to school to find purpose, and find too late what it is I really want to do. I am worried about what relationships will mean in my future as an arospec asexual person who craves companionship. I am worried that my cat allergies will continue to worsen. I am worried that I will never find something I love to do. I am worried that I will once again get an ingrown toenail so severe it will require minor surgery. I am worried that so many people I know are in such a similar place. I hope that we’ll all be ok.
I’m starting a series of first-hand ace stories, and I want to hear from you! This third wave of the #AceStories series will focus of Neurodivergent aces and their personal stories regarding both being a part of the ace community and how that intersects with their neuro-diversity.
Submit your stories via my submit box or post on your own blog and tag them #NeurodivergentAceStories and #AceStories
Asexuality is not some exceptionally rare, impossible thing. Even using the common 1% estimate (which many people think is low), that’s 3.2 million Americans. If you met someone who said “Hey, I’m from Chicago”, you wouldn’t tell them that you didn’t believe them, because people from Chicago are only about 1% of the population. “You’re really from New York or California. Statistically, that’s far more likely.“ That would be ridiculous.
We need more blogs to follow! We’re interested in midwestern, agender, asexual, and aromantic-centric blogs, but are open to anything lgbtqia+ positive, body positive, or otherwise inspirational! :) Thanks so much!
