Asexuality Glossary
It’s this simple.
personal reminder: stop being so fucking hard on yourself
What is Asexuality?
Asexuality is a sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality, etc., but instead of being sexually attracted to men or women, asexual people are sexually attracted to no one. This doesn’t mean we all hate sex or avoid it, it just means we don’t find people sexually attractive.
What is the Asexuality Archive?
The Asexuality Archive is a collection of all things Ace. In these pages, I hope to provide a comprehensive and uncensored look into what asexuality is, what it means to us and how it shapes our lives. My intention is to provide information that is approachable and informative, whether or not you’re asexual.
Projects:
What is Asexuality?: A companion site, dedicated to providing information about asexuality in multiple formats, including pamphlets and slideshows.
Asexuality: A Brief Introduction: An informational book about what asexuality is, what it’s like to be asexual, and what people should know about asexuality.
An Asexual’s Guide To…: A series of in-depth posts on topics that are typically wondered about, but are rarely explored in ace circles.
The Comment Section: A series of posts that explore troublesome comments left on articles about asexuality, and tips for responding to them.

Not Everything Has To Be Straight™
If you are someone whose identity has ever been even sort of aligned with “lesbian,” chances are you’ve heard the U-Haul joke so many times the white and orange trucks themselves seem a little heavy handed. But at the center of the joke is a truth: queers move through time differently than straight people. Queer theorists talk a lot about time. Or rather, queer theorists talk a lot about “temporality,” which I understand as a pretentious way to say time. My favorite description of queer time comes from the theorist Jack Halberstam who wrote “queer time for me is the dark nightclub, the perverse turn away from the narrative coherence of adolescence– early adulthood –marriage – reproduction – child rearing– retirement–death ” I’ve been thinking recently that queer time for me is a self-declared snow day. A chance to stay in bed and explore ourselves unhindered by the outside world. A chance to exist, to play — free from the hetero pillars of career, marriage, and lineage. A break from the ticking clock of larger society’s notions of progression.

What I want to do: tell people I’m asexual so it’s out of the way and they can stop assuming I’m allosexual
What I don’t want to do: give a 5 minute explanation of what asexuality is followed by a 10 minute debate on whether or not it’s actually a real thing followed by yet another another 10 minutes of uncomfortable questions as they continue to try and disprove my sexuality to me
What you say about asexuality matters, no matter who you are.
Me. Thinking about life, tumblr, and my thesis.
No offense but if you expect every marginalized person to be well-versed in academic texts and theories regarding their marginalization then you’re ableist and classist, and also just plain annoying. Not everyone can access and understand academic jargon, and not everyone cares to.
^^^^
Also the actual lived experiences of marginalized people outweigh all academic theories about them.
We deserve to reject sex entirely if that’s what we want. If your partner doesn’t understand that sex makes you unhappy, then you’re with the wrong person. We deserve partners that care enough about us to stop making us “compromise.”
