So I think weāre not completely understanding what asexuality is, because Iām seeing people say that a certain character from a very popular piece of queer media who throughly enjoys sex with their partner within said media CANNOT be on ten asexual spectrum because he has so much sex with his partner.
The issue is this, people are assuming that asexuality is a descriptor of an individualās sex drive, when the reality is that asexuality is a label for understanding the context in which an individual experiences sexual attraction and how emotional connection may be tethered to their experience(s) of sexual attraction.
So a person who rarely experiences sexual attraction, but is very sexually active once they do experience sexual attraction can still label themselves asexual. Just like a person who has casual sexual encounters simply for physical pleasure can still label themselves asexual, BECAUSE ITāS A SPECTRUM.
Asexuality is all encompassing because human sexuality is all encompassing so insinuating that enjoying sex on a frequent basis makes someone incapable of being asexual is frankly harmful to a community that already fights to recognized.
