I HATE SEX May 12, 2021 at 12:05AM

Oof, I regret feeling self-righteous about not ~being tempted by immortal thoughts~ as a teenager. All those youth lessons on purity must've been hard on the allos May 12, 2021 at 12:04AM

Yes! Also, I'd just love our version of "What your drink choice says about you" then. Like...I just learned that in gay bars, the choice of your drink apparently says something about your sexual preferences/sex life, so wtf would it be in ace format? "Water" -you are an ace that likes water "Beer" -you are an ace that likes beer "weird from of beer" - you secretly wish garlic bread existed as a drink "Tea" -you REALLY are into cuddling. Even if it's just with your cat. Or dog. Or rabbit from outer space. "Idk cola?" - you are someone that really never drinks May 12, 2021 at 12:04AM

That asexuals hate sex and/or we don't/can't have it. May 12, 2021 at 12:04AM

I used to love taking those ridiculous buzzfeed quizzes like "What kind of ice cream are you?" and "Which Disney prince is your soulmate?" but always struggled with the questions about what my ideal partner/date would be like. May 12, 2021 at 12:00AM

I didn't even know asexuality was a thing until my mid-20's. I have Asperger Syndrome, so I just assumed my lack of physical attraction was just part of my long list of strange, quirky behavior. May 11, 2021 at 11:59PM

Asexual is shortened to ace Graysexual is shortened to grace Asexual spectrum is shortened to ace-spec I think that you can call yourself ace if you want, but everyone will assume that you're plain asexual. May 11, 2021 at 11:59PM

It’s not that I don’t want a relationship because I do ,but thank you for the validation anyways. May 11, 2021 at 11:52PM

I think all of the microlabels fall under grey, but I may be wrong. However I will say that Demi is such a large label that some consider it it’s own separate label, though I still think it’s under grey. May 11, 2021 at 11:52PM

What I've heard is that the black ring is for anyone on the acespec and then a white with it symbolizes being aromatic. I don't know if there are any other colours, but black is definitely for all of us May 11, 2021 at 11:50PM

I really appreciate your reply, thx. May 11, 2021 at 11:50PM

If you feel only partially asexual you can use greysexual May 11, 2021 at 11:49PM

You can still feel romantic attraction while being asexual. Meaning you can like doing all the things you just described and even have a partner and still be 100% asexual. May 11, 2021 at 11:49PM

if you want to do a full deep-dive into the SW novels and comics, I could PM you a "best of" list. ..and The Dark Nest , which contains said orgies, will not be on that list. May 11, 2021 at 11:48PM

I have a question if that's okay. Where do aegosexuals/romantics, reciprosexuals/romantics, akoisexuals/romantics, etc fall in these categories? Do they make up grey ace, or are they separate from all three? May 11, 2021 at 11:48PM

Well I read that the ICD-11 was going to be published in 2022 but I'm not sure. Still, yeah I hope they update that part. May 11, 2021 at 11:47PM

As everyone should! May 11, 2021 at 11:41PM

I think we have updated to ICD-11 now? So hopefully the info is less outdated there. May 11, 2021 at 11:41PM

The Asexual dragon has a friend <3 May 11, 2021 at 11:41PM

Thank you that’s a good idea. I’ll consider it. I know I don’t have to label things but I makes me feel more comfortable personally. Like I belong but not boxed in, in a way not that if you don’t label yourself you don’t belong. Thank you again I haven’t thought about that May 11, 2021 at 11:40PM

Pan ace girl gang!! May 11, 2021 at 11:38PM

Wot about..... Cake?....... Pls pls pls May 11, 2021 at 11:33PM

Hi OP, labels can sometimes be overwhelming or be too much for some people and othertimes be great for others. I'd suggest you could be biromantic asexual, based on what you said. If that isn't accurate to you, that's fine, just thought I'd put the idea out there and see if that feels more comfortable to you. Either way you're valid!! May 11, 2021 at 11:31PM
