A Masturbating Ace: Or, Why Sex Toys, Porn, and My...
outlawroad:
I’ve been providing myself with orgasms for about 10 years or so. Maybe 11. In that course of time, my use of pornographic materials has progressed from dirty stories to pornographic pictures to porn films, with some porn audio thrown in there for good measure, and I continue to use a combination of all of those in order to provoke physical arousal whenever I have a sexual urge....

aceslutshamers:
Hey. Same anon who made the DW comparison. Just going to say this loud and clear: I AM NOT TRYING TO SUGGEST THAT ASEXUALITY IS AS TRIVIAL AS NOT LIKING A TV SHOW. The similarity is NOT how much it affects your life, it’s the concept of basing a community around a shared disinterest rather than a shared interest - and I’m not saying that can’t ever be valid! I’m just commenting...

Asexual Awareness Week 2011!

Asexual Awareness Week is an international campaign to promote awareness about asexuality. Some of the things you can expect are a series of guest blogs, an asexual community wide demographic survey, and screenings of documentary (A)sexual.
There will be screenings of (A)sexual throughout the month. I am probably attending the one in...

Sexual Attraction vs. Libido
greenchestnuts:
This afternoon there was a post on Feministe that linked to this Ask A Queer Chick article where the letter-writer is wondering if her boyfriend could be gay or asexual, since he never gets her off when they have sex.
While I was glad to see the ace visibility, I was startled by the conflation of “maybe he is asexual” with “but even if he doesn’t have a libido you do,”...

On the topic of Aces and Asexuality
imithly:
Hi. I’d like to introduce myself to you all, at least the people I know will see this and then react. My name is Imithly, and I am a lesbian. Oh shit, that’s right I am GAY. But that’s not the amazing part, no, the amazing part is what I’m going to say in the next.
A good friend of mine, is asexual, and every day I get onto tumblr and watch people rag on aces. She’s a tough girl, and...

I can't go to the forums at AVEN at school because...
teachthecontroversy:
1. It’s a completely harmless site.
2. You think a school would be open to “sex education.” I didn’t realize that was viewed as a bad thing.
3. My school is so stupid.
wait, what the hell?
You can’t go onto the site at school….because it’s considered sex education? Isn’t education kind of the POINT of schools? I agree, your school def. has their...

now i am conflicted on the homophobic-ace meme
floormasterofanxiety:
as i think that some of the stuff there relates to valid criticisms of the ace community (which i’m not really involved in, despite being asexual), such as slut-shaming, and the blog-runner is apparently on the ace spectrum, so idk, that makes it more legit to me, but i’m not sure what the point of it is?
because i think that there should be discussion within the asexual...

Just FYI: the earliest AVEN appears in the Wayback Machine is 6/1/2002. And at that time, just barely having added a forum, here is the asexuality theory page where the triangle comes from.
So, I guess someone could have called the less than 100 people on AVEN at the time in between when it…
I still don’t like it. *shrug* Theangryaxis is right;...

An Asexual on Sex
redbeardace:
A quick note before I begin: To all the asexuals out there: It’s okay to be a virgin and it’s fine to not be a virgin. It’s okay to be curious about sex and it’s fine to not be interested in it at all. It’s okay to enjoy sex and it’s fine to dislike it. It’s okay to not want to experience sexual pleasure and it’s fine if you want to orgasm by yourself or with someone else. It’s okay...

"Don't you all hate sex?"
redbeardace:
All asexual people think the same way about sex, right? Don’t you all hate sex?
Not at all, actually. The opinions on sex among asexuals are just as wide and varied as the opinions of non-asexuals on sex. Some like it, some hate it, and some don’t care at all. Asexuality is only the lack of sexual attraction. Beyond that, anything goes.
Well, how do you feel about sex?

Question of the Day
ashoftomorrow:
Why is asexuality considered a legitimate sexual orientation but hypersexuality is considered a mental disorder?
Long Answer:
hm, ok so there are going to be several parts to this answer.
First, about the relationship between hypersexuality and asexuality:
First of all, orientation is usually used to describe the gender[s] one is attracted to, and has no bearing on how...

Survey of Tumblr Queer Community →

queerfeministatheist:
I created this survey to do a really bare, basic demography of the queer community. Please reblog.
Possibly should have included religion but… can only do ten questions apparently!
Might have also been interesting to see how many people in the kink/BDSM community there are. Ffffff
I can’t fill in the survey because if I put text in the...

Dear person who graffitied 'ASEXUALS PARTY...
raggedybearcat:
Seriously, I was all lethargic and sick and drawn and I went through the Graffiti Tunnel and was vaguely reading stuff as I went because I’d noticed quite a lot of happy queer stuff in there this morning and it jumped out at me and said “HI YOU EXIST :D” in big green letters. Really cheered me up, so thank you good sir/madam/otherwise identifying <3
I DEMAND PICTURES!

Asexy Fic I Know About
