YEEAAAH BUDDY. It's Asexual Awareness week! Ya better damn well believe I had to wip something up for my fellow aces and try to help out a little with makin these legendary beings more visible! (even if it's a little harder to get into mischief that way~)
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to either sex/gender. We just don't feel the need to get rompy and ravage somebody, just doesn't happen! This doesn't mean some of us don't feel romantic (to love) or sensual (appreciate physical beauty) attraction though!
We aren't broken. We are who we are, and there is no shame in that!
I've watched as asexuality has become more and more recognized, and it is such a relieving thing to see. Maybe, hopefully, some day soon....asexuals can state where they stand without being met with blank, confused stares everywhere. I'm sure that day will come.
This is our week! Our time to shine lads, lasses and everybody in between!

<3 Aha you're wonderful darling! Even though i'm a Demisexual people still give me weird looks (ex. the one time I explained this to a guy who liked me and he asked if I got raped in order to make me that way and was totally insensitive about it) I can't wait for that day to come though it will be historic.. least to us <3
Right? :D Aaah I get that dumb question too. "Were you sexually abused to make you that way? Did you get tested? That can't be right...." It is very rude and insensitive, I don't know why people think it's an open door to ask questions NOBODY would ask under normal circumstances.
Yeah a lot of guys to asexual gals ask some really annoying questions like that. It's like they expected that they had some chance at sex, and you are shutting down that thought.
Being male I mostly just get, "You sure you're not just gay but in denial?"
The worst that I get though are actually comments from ladies who are interested, and when I decline and explain, they give me the; "You've just never been with someone who's as good as me, I'll change you."
I'm fine with people asking questions, personally, it's the people who refuse to accept it who bother me.

Since my arrival here I came across a lot of people with different sexual orientations - and I don't talk about fetishes but just how people deal with others. I'm glad to have found all these differences and to see that it's easier to tell its own orientation with years passing :)
All right, Asexual awareness!!
I read your last journal. I am asexual too. I am lucky because my gender is Male so I have it quite a bit easier than Females when it comes to appearing "sexless." There is way too much societal pressure to look or act in certain "accepted" ways and to fulfill specific gender roles. Thankfully the internet has allowed people to completely express their individuality and to connect with others who feel the same way, even if they feel restrained or frustrated outside.
Live your life the way YOU want to. Good luck!

Everything with a Kingdom Hearts necklace will get my awareness!
Seriously though, I'm glad asexuality is getting more recognition lately as well. I'm not sure how I stand yet, but hearing everyone tell me that "sex is the best thing ever bruh" is getting pretty tiring regardless.

I didn't know that this was a thing, but I suppose it's cool that it is.
I personally think that people's reactions to my telling them that I am asexual in real like (only when relevant, of course) is kind of funny.
I like teaching people though, and so don't mind explaining it to them. Most folk tend to be pretty alright about it, they just don't understand it personally, which I in turn can understand to some degree.
Either way, it's cool that we asexual folk have an awareness thing. o 3o

I'm like half asexual half somewhat-sexual if thats even a thing, but I think that's just very low labido and very low sexual attraction.
I guess I'm one to say that I dont quite believe in asexuality because there are so many aspects to it all that it seems rather stubborn? to just say "well im asexual because what i did or didnt do didnt work for me" but that can go for any sexuality. I find that there are too many grey areas to define yourself as a single thing, but maybe I view sexuality that way that it clouds me judgment on other people's interests.
I do love the information on http://www.asexuality.org/
I just find it curious/fascinating that, just like depression, some people are wired to do the opposite of what nature intended.

Well I think that is a little harsh, but I mean ay it's your opinion!
It's not so much as stubborn as it is just how some people are wired. Saying there is no such thing as asexuality is like saything there is no such thing as sexuality in general.
I dunno, not sure what to tell ya there. If somebody doesn't feel sexual attraction to anything they just....don't.

I will readily admit that I am greatly confused by asexuality. I take it to mean precisely what it says on the tin: The complete lack of sexual drive; the absence of arousal. The thing is, I've met a great number of people who identify as asexual over the years and every one of them has some form of alternative sexual outlet in his or her life. Maybe they have a kink, maybe they're strictly observational in their sexuality, but sex always seems to remain a part of their lives.
I think a lot of this comes down to a difference in perception of what actually constitutes sexuality and that's fine, but I've always worried that a number of my friends in the furry community might be wearing the label as a defense rather than an identity. It's something that I fret about frequently, but I never really ask questions for fear of poking a sore spot.

Oh dear, no that is not what I meant x'D
Many asexuals still have a libido and can get aroused. Not all of them have an absence of arousal. Fetishes, the need for sexual relief somehow, experiencing being 'turned on' are all common in the community.
I just mean they don't feel that way for SOMEBODY. They can have sexual interests! But, say, how straight people can look at somebody of the opposite gender and think,"Yeah....I'd fuck them." They experience sexual attraction, while asexual's just never feel the need to be that way with someone.
I hope this makes sense ^^''

I too have one question but it's even more personal. So, maybe you don't answer or answer in a way that is more comfortable?
If arousal and all that exists. If it 'can happen'. Is that arousal projected on to 'something' in a way? Like, any picture. Object. Music. Anything? Instead of a person?
And what about masturbation? To get relief? Do they or you?

Situations and such can exist for asexuals yes. And many do masturbate for relief. Fetishes are also very much a thing. They just aren't attracted to the PERSON. So while some asexuals will have sex for different reasons others just plain won't. Each person is individual for their own likes and dislikes. Only thing that makes you not asexual is being sexually attracted to someone. That is really all there is to it.
However to clear ANY possible questions someone may ask, masturbating doesn't mean you want or will have sex.

Thank you, this is what I thought it'd be like, most of it. I may know someone like that, but for some reason that person is struggling to live with it. Because I think they think something is wrong with them, while there isn't. Trying to find someone to be with, but not having any interest in the slightest in who. Just someone so the parents stop messing with the private life.
Never understood asexuality
I've always reacted the same way to anyone telling me their sexuality: "Okay cool, so do you want to talk about it or?"
Never really gave a crap, I will only complain when you shove it in my face and I mean actually shove it in. Unless of course when someone is being harassed for it.
That aside in borderlands fashion:
Hello Badass...
I love the hoodie!!!

I'm Ace and proud. It really is wonderful to know that what I've been feeling all my life is a real thing. I get so sad/annoyed at people that try to say it isn't real just because they don't understand it. Bro, if you don't like or understand it, just ignore it and move on, no need to make someone else feel bad. You do you and I'll do me. Life is much happier that way. Awesome image and I'm glad that you spread awareness. I'll have to do something the next time this rolls around. :D
