My mom thinks I’m gay
Coming out to parents as asexual can be funny because their reactions seem so over the top for something so small (I think this applies to a lot of sexualities). My mom asks in full sincerity today if I was gay (19M ace considering aro). I thought it was funny but I know other asexuals wouldn’t take it and laugh it off like I did. Anyone else experience this with their parents?

Sex is like Minecraft
I'm a sex-favorable ace and recently I have been using this comparison to explain how I feel about/approach sex to my allo friends. I've also used it to explain to people who were not familiar with asexuality (being clear that it's only my specific experience, not every ace person's). I originally thought of it as a joke, but I have actually found it to be surprisingly effective so I thought I would share. :)
I like Minecraft. It's fun. I enjoy playing Minecraft with friends that want to play with me. But I don't see people on the street and think, "wow that person is really cool! I want to play Minecraft with them." And if I do play Minecraft with someone, there's not pressure to only play Minecraft with them forever, or to play with them all the time. If there is, I stop playing with them, because that's not fun for me. I can go weeks or months not playing or even really thinking about Minecraft. If, for some reason, I could never play Minecraft again, I would be fine. I would be a little bummed, but there are lots of activities I like just as much or even more than Minecraft. This is how I have thought about Minecraft my whole life, and how I kind of figured everyone else thought about Minecraft. Imagine my surprise when I learn that not only is Minecraft a bigger deal than I thought, it's the single best-selling video game of all time!!! Some people think about Minecraft a lot!!! Some people play Minecraft for a living!!! Some of my friends told me they DO see people on the street and want to play Minecraft with them! Some people DO only want to play Minecraft with a certain person/people. This is all very baffling to me. I had no idea Minecraft was such a big deal to so many people. This is how I feel about sex. Sex, to me, is like Minecraft.
There's also a little aromanticism in there (only wanting to play Minecraft with my friends) but it's mainly just how I feel about sex. If you like it or want to modify it to describe your own experience to people feel free and let me know if it helps lol. I hope at least it made you laugh. Everyone laughs when I say it at first, and it is pretty silly, but like I said, it's actually been pretty helpful for me in discussions with allo people. :)

Bracelets
Hello!
I would first like to say that I am asexual, I am also an mlm trans male.
Me and my boyfriend gonna start a bracelet business! We’ve decided that pride bracelets are gonna be our main focus for when we start up.
Charms and lettering are also something that we are gonna add to the bracelets but we wanted opinions from asexual people themselves.
What charms/words would you like on an asexual bracelet?
Obviously, we’re not going to be able to do all of them so we’re going to be looking at the most ‘wanted’ charms/words at the moment and hoping to expand in the future.
Thank you for reading this and I hope this wasn’t offensive in anyway :)
