📅 - I knew I was ace in April of 2015. A coworker of mine at the time was telling me how she was asexual and I thought “Huh. She and I have a lot in common. Must just be because I’m waiting until marriage.” Then I did some research and found out why it was so hard for everyone else to control their sexual urges. Because they had them, and I didn’t! XD
🔂 - Yes. When I met my husband, and started feeling sexual attraction for the first time in my whole life, I didn’t know what to think. Am I gray, demisexual? WHAT AM I?!? But I finally settled on demi.
💬 - I believe I came out to my aunt later in 2015.
👥 - I came out to my friends I think as soon as I figured it out.
🐯 - The only advice I can give to ace-spec people coming out is: no matter what happens, no matter what people say when you tell them, 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶!
⭐ - I don’t really have one, right now.
📑 - No books yet, but I’m about to read “Not Pounded By Anything: Six Platonic Tales Of Non-Sexual Encounters” by Chuck Tingle, so we’ll see how I feel afterwards. XD
🎵 - This is going to be odd, but I kinda feel “Heart Boner” by Ninja Sex Party. I know the singer is trying to mask the fact he wants to have sex with his emotional words, but if you take the words at face value, it sounds vaguely demisexual-ish. It’s a stretch, I know, but it’s nice to think about.
🌈 - Haven’t been to a pride event yet, but I’m planning on being in a pride parade with a good friend next year! :D
⛔ - Not so much a question as a reoccurring theme: “What about your husband?” Before I came out as demi, I had several people worried my husband wasn’t getting the sex, or that I wasn’t doing my “biblical duty.”
🎨 - I love the color scheme of the demi flag, but I wish there were more versions that had a darker gray at the bottom. Oftentimes, the gray is so light, it’s almost white and hard to distinguish from the white stripe at the top.
📹 - I’m posting daily info on the ace spectrum as well as jokes on my personal Facebook page. I was also thinking about coloring something as well.
🎓 - I drive delivery, so I don’t have to worry about this one since I don’t have a direct boss or coworkers per se.
😇 - My husband and my friends are all very supportive.
👤 - I have one close demisexual friend and one ace acquaintance.
✨ - I wish people knew that we are all different and varied in our likes and dislikes concerning sex and touching and relationships, and that what we do/don’t do if we are in a relationship with other people is sdt their business. It’s ours and our partner’s.
🌌 - I’d love to have more mainstream movies and books with openly ace-spec characters. I want it to be mentioned by name so more people will become familiar with it, and ace-spec all over the world who are questioning themselves will think “They’re like me...maybe I’m asexual...” “Maybe I’m demisexual too!” “I need to google greysexuality, that sounds a lot like me.” Maybe then, less ace-spec people will feel broken.
