(A)sexual documentary on YouTube
redbeardace: I’d like to point out that although the documentary appears to be on YouTube a week early, that’s because someone pirated it. Which, of course, is so not cool.  It wasn’t made by some multi-billion dollar mega-corp who’s out to gouge you for every penny they can, after all. So I’m not watching it yet.  I’m waiting until it is officially and legitimately released next week and I...

Bwejshskjfhkjdshfklsdg. Welp y’know, as someone mentioned, I think I could get behind “allosaurus sex” as a new alternative  :P No no no. Not allosaurs. Tyrannosaurus sex! nah, that one’s...

see also the AVEN discussion here: http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?/topic/74569-autochorissexualism/ It’s very short - barely two pages - and at this level is mostly just suggesting this as an interesting topic for more exploration, but it’s still rather interesting.  Abstract: I present evidence that target-oriented paraphilias may occur in some who report no sexual...

Queer =/= LGB(t)
adecentworld: If you’re going to describe some shared unified experience or some theoretical framework as to why asexuals aren’t queer, at least try to recognize one of the members you do typically include in the acronym. That T? Yeah, queerness isn’t just about sexuality or love or romance. The vast majority of the cissexism I’ve faced has nothing to do with my asexuality, my aromanticism, or...

purple-power-ranger: There is significant debate over whether asexuality is a sexual orientation or not. It is most comparable to hypoactive sexual desire disorder(HSDD), in the sense that both imply a general lack of sexual attraction to anyone, but asexuality is generally not considered a disorder (such asanorgasmia, anhedonia, etc.) or a sexual dysfunction because asexuality does not...

Asexuality and WORLD PRIDE!
nethenclawpuff: Okay, so it’s World Pride this year, and I don’t know if any of you are going (you’re all welcome) the main organising of it is going on at AVEN and a group of us on Skype. I’m doing the placard stuff though there’s other fun stuff going on too. As such, there’s two threads going on at AVEN that I’m asking for help with. If you’re a member I’d love any aces or graces to...

Asexual awakening - new article from the Sydney... →
greenchestnuts: nextstepcake: Overall, a pretty decent article, although it does follow most of the usual “asexuality exists” tropes (with the sexless dolls, depressed looking couple, and nay-saying therapist who has probably never done any research on asexuality, etc.). But yeah, overall, it’s not bad at all. also, that first person interviewed is me, so….yeah….maybe I’m a bit biased. But...

LGBTQ connections →
littlepaperfrogs: So, what exactly do we do? The basic idea of LGBTQconnections is to provide people in need of a support with those willing to give it. Each person will individually be asigned a mentor who will provide them with support/information/whatever they might need from then on. Once assigned the mentor will immediately get in touch with their mentee. Here’s how to get started: To...

allosexism
andifimflyingsolo: harmonioussanctity: lunasspecto: Allosexism, therefore, refers to an ideology privileging people who are sexually attracted to other people, and prejudices arising from that ideology. So without touching the rest of this, I’m just going to come right out and ask, exactly how are homosexual people sexually privileged?  Before you can even begin to bandy about allosexism,...

I like the word allosexism
cupcakemichi: nextstepcake: cupcakemichi: And I’m pretty sure it makes sense. I think I’ll keep using it. Allosexism (n) - The attitude or bias that favours sexual people and relationships.

idontwearties: synergiclove: idontwearties: hiddenjumprope: Wooooooow AVEN After much deliberation the Admod Team has decided not to go ahead with an aromantic forum due to the fact that we do not want to seem like we are making one romantic orientation appear to be more important than any other. We encourage the aromantics in AVEN to make threads in the various forums as they see fit. ...

Internalized Homophobia and LGB Aces
greenchestnuts: I’m talking to someone about the Trevor Project’s treatment of asexuals (among other things), and she asked, “In terms of harm reduction for the greatest number of people does it do any significant harm for legitimately asexual LGB people to have the possibility of internalized homophobia be brought up (cuz I know it does a whole hell of a lot of harm to repressed LGB people for...
