i walk a fine line between ā€œi’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sexā€ and ā€œsex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want toā€

I feel this deeply 😫 I feel guilty sometimes because here I am, as far as I know, fully capable of having a kid (who knows if I have fertility issues or not, I've never bloody tried šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø), which I know some people out there, both cis and trans alike, are dying for, and my empty ass uterus is just sitting here, going unused. I wish I could donate mine šŸ˜”
For sale: one (1) fully unused uterus and one (1) fully unused (assumed) fully functional fertile grounds.
Any takers?
I can't believe it's 2025 and we still don't have a way for me to give my empty uterus to a trans woman who wants to carry a child
For Sale: Ace Womb, Never Used

The best way I can describe to an allo person how you feel about sex as a topic as a sex-repulsed or averse asexual is that it feels like a hype that never ends. As though Despicable Me came out and everyone around you was sending minion facebook memes to each other for years to come. The stores are full of minion themed products; they're in ads and your friends talk about them all the time. And deep in your heart you're like "I'm glad that they're able to enjoy something I personally don't like and am not interested in :3". But there is always this little voice in the back of your head that's like "If I have to see ONE MORE of these little yellow FUCKERS today then God help us all." You make an active choice to communicate only the former.

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

I want to live in a world where aromantic people and asexual people don’t have to lie to our doctors and therapists about our orientations to avoid them attempting to ā€œfixā€ us, find an ā€œunderlying causeā€ for who we are, or take us off necessary medications like antidepressants just in case they’re ā€œsuppressing our emotionsā€. I want to live in a world where openly experiencing a lack of romantic and/or sexual attraction is not a barrier to receiving adequate healthcare.

Is it possible that the idea that this implied requirement for romance and sex comes from the idea of monogamy, though? I’m old enough that mothers still had ā€œthe talkā€ with daughters before they got married. My Mum didn’t like talking about sex, but she struggled and hemmed and hawed enough to get across what she was told when she got married, and presumably what my grandmothers were told: you can’t say no to your husband when he wants sex, because it isn’t fair. He’s promised to only have sex with you for the rest of his life, so you owe him sex.
I ended up being the higher-drive partner and had an unsatisfying sex life before I discovered fanfiction, so I have mixed feelings about the idea. Specifically, I can get behind the idea that if you and another person are promising to be each other’s only sexual partners for life (or however long), it does seem like it would be the loving thing to do to make sure each person is happy with the amount and type of sex you’re giving each other. Not that sex is owed, ever. Just that if it’s important to your monogamous partner, it would be kind to that partner to take their feelings into consideration.
Beyond that, I can agree that romance, sex, and sexual attraction don’t have to exist in a relationship for that relationship to be valid and beautiful and fulfilling. As long as both partners are on the same page.
There’s also a thing that people who think they’re being accepting do where they go ā€œNot wanting romance is SO SAD AND LONELY! Not wanting to read romance novels is SEXIST! Not wanting a partner makes you a FREAK! Not having sex with your partner is BAD and ABUSIVE! Not feeling sexual attraction to your partner means there is SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!… unless you’re aromantic or asexual, of course! Then you get a pass.��� The only acceptable reason to deviate from the amatonormative and sexnormative societal norm is to claim an identity label that exempts you. The actual thing you’re doing is still bad… but don’t worry it’s OK for you to do it! It feels like, we haven’t actually challenged any norms at all, you just get a pass on them because you can’t help it, poor thing. If you have the capacity to feel these, you have the obligation to; you are only exempt if you claim an identity that says that you are unable to. It implies that we would if we could, but we can’t, and it’s merely unfair to punish us for our shortcomings. Romance and sex are still social requirements, that hasn’t changed, we just are allowed a pass on it because we are unable to meet them. (And we’re still expected to reassure everyone that of course we recognize that their romance and sex is far more important than anything we will ever be able to have!)
I don’t want aros and aces to get special exemption from the requirement to have romance and sex and romantic attraction and sexual attraction; I want that to not be a requirement for anyone.
