Things friends can't do according to allos!

(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe.)

Give each other meaningful gifts

Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes

Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)

Match clothes or accessories

Hold hands for 'too long' (???)

Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)

Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'

Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands

Lean onto the other emotionally and physically

Smile in one another's presence

Laugh at each others jokes

Give genuine advice

Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc

Ask how the others doing

I'll add more once I think of things I've forgotten

Good morning to aromantic kinksters, polyamorous aromantics, aromantic doms, aromantic subs, aromantics in long term sexual partnerships, aromantics who enjoy casual hookups, hypersexual aromantics, and all aromantics who have been stereotyped as manipulative or heartless for having sexual relationships

Had to share this gem from my twitter tl

quick are you mythologizing sex again? are you making it seem like a special category of human behavior rather than just a thing people do? are you forgetting that it can be silly or fun or simply pedestrian? are you forgetting that it requires conversation and negotiation just like every other human activity that involves other people?

makes me super sad that i constantly question my asexuality. thing is, i’m not exactly asexual, i’m aegosexual, AND i feel aesthetic attraction pretty strongly. i get constantly confused that i’m not ace because wow! people are hot! sex can BE hot! but do I WANT sex? lord. god, no

[aro-thoughts]

"we need weirder queers" you guys couldnt even handle asexual people in 2016 (and probably still cant handle them)

[aro-thoughts]

??? why are “friends with benefits” now considered a cringe straight people thing???? friends can fuck. it’s literally fine
