Ethnography

Being inspired by my sociology class I would love to create a ethnography and study asexuals and how society that is focused on sex affects asexual culture. I feel like I want to talk about the history of asexuality, sex being used for advertisements. Average age people have sex , how society sanctions sex and asexuality. I may start posting surveys on this subreddit sometime because I would love to write about what it means to be asexual in a society full of sex.

Not for Aces only, but I was so happy to feel validated by this "Rainbow collection" I thought some people here may like to see it too 😄 (it feels so good to be "validated" by them!)

Where are you on the Gender Spectrum?

Hi there, I'm curious to see what the results here will be. I tried to include as many as I could but Reddit only lets me have 6 slots in a poll, so I had to clump some together. Also, please be respectful in the comments.

I wanted to post this on r/lgbt but I can't post polls over there. Can you recommend some other Queer subreddits for this poll?

Is this "step on me" thing something the allos actually want or is it just meme? Allies, please explain.

I want a friend with benefits

But no sex, only cuddle. I'm so starved of physical contact rn
And it's probably going to stay this way forever bc I'm asexual and maybe aromantic too so I'm going to die alone.
I really hate being asexual, I didn't ask for this :(
Then again I might die alone because I'm me

What kind of discrimination do asexuals face?

I’m new to accepting my asexuality and I’m curious what kind of negative reactions to asexuality people commonly experience - just so I can be prepared. LGBT+ sadly experiences a lot of homophobia and nasty reactions, but asexuality isn’t really mentioned. Sorry if this sounds like an odd question.

One of my workmates told me that going to the gym would make me more virile and end my asexuality...

Spoiler alert: nope.

A colleague told me that starting regular gym sessions would 'cure' me by raising testosterone. Also seeing all the 'totty' (British slang for attractive women) would raise more than weights. 10 weeks in and no change yet!

sorry my fellow ace's we aren't a part of the lgbt community cause we don't face discrimination.

Accidently came out and realised my bro was also aroace

So I was watching this TV show called "scènes de ménages" (it's French) and those are basically skits. At a moment, there's this woman that said "lgbt isn't used anymore, now it's lgbtqia+" I thought it was great they talk about it then she began to explain which letter meant what and I was scared of what she was gonna say for A. She said it was for asexuals so I was so relieved that she got it right ! I know it also stands for the aspec in general (with aromantic, agender, aplatonic,...) But she didn't say ally so I was glad.

I then say "I know what asexual means !" My father said he didn't care (he doesn't hate the community but he's not really supportive, like he thinks his children aren't part of it) I continued either way, and said "there's aromantic and asexual, aromantic is when you don't feel romantic attraction and asexual is when you don't feel sexual attraction"

All of a sudden, my brother said "oh, like me". I kinda suspected him to be aroace already but him saying it! I was surprised that he wasn't more concerned with it. I answered back "yeah, like me, like you" I didn't realise in the beginning that I said "me" but they didn't seem to care (neither my brother nor my father)

I was kind of sad that no one seemed to care cuz it's part of me and it's really important to me, but I was still glad my father wasn't mad at me, cuz he's always saying "oh but if you live alone it's sad","you'll see, when you'll fall in love..","you're still young but at some point you'll want babies" and things like that I can't relate.

I went up in my room, and the next thing I was doing is writing this ! Thank you for reading!
