I used to write romance novels, and I might again one day. I also write fanfic sometimes. I'm Australian, and a fandom old. This is basically a Silmarillion blog now, who am I kidding. User name is Rian at AO3 and Dreamwidth.

Begging and pleading for people to realize that some people may not experience sexual attraction but sometimes they may be sexually aroused by certain concepts/actions. And sometimes this then means they want to participate in sex with someone so long as the concepts/actions are present.

They aren't attracted to the person they are having sex with, but they are aroused by whatever is occurring within the sexual scene.

Sex favorable aces don't just have sex because their partner wants to have sex!!! Some sex favorable aces do seek sexual stimulation with other people for their own pleasure!! Big surprise! Shocking development!!

And this is also stigmatized because it's believed you need to find someone attractive to have any drive to have sex with them! Like! No! Some of us are just more interested in their ability to perform what arouses us!

I'm posting about this because as I am presented with sources within one of my classes about asexuality I see a complete lack of talk about pleasure and what it means within asexuality. There is this constant reaffirming of sex is what the allosexual partner wants (and the asexual partner is just doing it to make their allosexual partner happy) and it's deeply frustrating that we are defining sex around sexual attraction and not looking at the fact that sex should be defined around a whole range of things!

This helps me connect the dots re: kink and asexuality, because they do seem linked for a lot of people. Lots of kinky ace people out there. And, a lot of kinky people who aren't ace participate in sexual situations with people they aren't attracted to, because the situation itself is the turn-on.
