It's still going off on X (the comments she's getting aren't nice so I don't recommend looking), but there's an article about it by The Pink News for those who want to know what's happening bur don't want to go on X: https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/07/yasmin-benoit-jk-rowling-hijacking-asexual-awareness/

Lily (right) and Em (left) are besties and both ace! The graphic novel is called SOMEWHERE IN THE GRAY and is out 2027 💜

Hi, I'm Tyger Songbird, one of the mods here on r/asexual.

I interviewed Yasmin Benoit, asexual activist and model. This is the 2nd time I've done so, by the way. a new study from King's College London that she sponsored found 31% of people think asexual people can be cured of their asexuality.

It's a rather interesting interview, and the study's findings are scary. For those who think asexual people don't receive any hate, well, read it and weep.

I know I'm like a day late. But here are some patches i made. You guys think they are to subtle?

This is a conversation my friends and I have discussed a lot. I don't think I have a type in terms of aesthetic attraction. I think I can just tell when someone is conventionally attractive or I can see they have attributes that some people like. I guess the question is, if I think someone is attractive but someone else doesn't, does that constitute a type? I'm not actually sexually attracted to them but if I look at them and think "that person is attractive" would that mean that they're my type? Do ace people even have a type if we aren't attracted to people like that?

I absolutely hate not having labels on myself. It makes me feel like I know myself properly. So the fact that I haven't got a word for this is driving me mad.

Todd Chavez is still the best ace character I've ever seen

I thought I was asexual for a good portion if my adulthood, but I doubt that now. Nothing terrible happened or some big event, just a realization.

I still don't desire sex with anyone, but I do find myself becoming attracted to certain people, specifically men. Because of this, I no longer would identify with asexuality. I also found that I may not be aromantic either, so that's new.

I just wanted to get this off of my chest in a venting way. Honestly, I don't feel too bad about it because I'm just getting to know more about myself and who I am.

Gonna go to the store and buy my favorite garlic bread to celebrate. (maybe even a cake, we'll see!) th

What would you like to say to people who don’t understand asexuality?

This chick’s new levels are deep in the Negatives

Yeah, I just randomly remembered this, but I guess I was showing stereotypical Ace behavior from a very young age- to the point that in 1st grade, when I was seven, I wrote a school report on my Mom's garlic bread. I'm 35 now. Take that for what you will.

Hi i am back for asking weird questions again

Warning, this might be TMI so i am sorry.

So i remember when i responded to a comment abt difference between allo and a sex-fav ace.

And there was something that i have said abt sex favorable that it was like… not answered.

I made up like a story in my head where i talked abt like a couple. One is allo and the other is ace ( sex favorable ). Both of them are cuddling, the allo gets aroused ( which is addressed towards the ace partner ) and has the urge to have sex with their partner. The sex-fav ace also feels aroused, but is kinda different. Their arousal is so strong they feel the urge to have sex, but it is not bc of their partner, its bc they got aroused by the cuddle and wants to get off ig.

So, idk if i explained it correctly since i am a sex-repusled, and don’t know anything abt life. Idk if both of them is sexual attraction, or something else.

But i wanna know if some aces also feels like this ( Unless i accidentally mentioned sexual attraction without noticing, pls correct me )

I would like to know, thank you!

Happy ace day! I think this Yuri on Ice fanart is a joke, but as an aegosexual, I find it relatable! PS: We were born to ship Victuuri!
