Aroallo is not an "adult" sexuality

[plain text: Aroallo is not an "adult" sexuality]

I am aromantic and allosexual. I am also (as of writing this) a minor. TLDR at the end because I rambled on a bit.

There's a view in society that sexuality and sex are topics that are entirely irrelevant to children and should not be discussed around/with children because it is inappropriate/predatory. And to an extent, there is a point to that, and any discussions of sex and sexuality should be age-appropriate (e.g. an eleven year old would not receive the same sex ed as a sixteen year old because there is a vast difference in experience)

However, thinking like this leads to teenagers not being given proper sex education because they are "too young", which is wildly ignorant of the fact that a decent proportion of teenagers older than sixteen are sexually active. I live in the UK where the age of consent is 16, and I know plenty of people who were in relationships aged 14/15 were having sex. (Whether they weer mature enough to is another matter, but it's important to acknowledge that it does happen so there is no point ignoring this).

This rhetoric also leads to the belief that teens (and younger kids) shouldn't be coming out as gay/lesbian/bisexual/asexual/aromantic/etc. because they are too young to be thinking about sexuality and sexual attractiveness, which just.... isn't true. Many young people have crushes, and as the majority of people are allosexual, this does often involve sexual attraction as people mature through puberty.

Within the queer community, people have said that it is perfectly fine and normal and common for teenagers to come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual - Because if a teen can be straight, they can also be queer. These arguments are all set out beautifully and the points well made.

Yet.

Some people exclude aroallo people from that. They say that teens can be asexual, because they can know they aren't experience sexual attraction like their peers, and teens can be aromantic as well as asexual because they can realise they also aren't experiencing romantic attraction. But when a teenager says they are on the aromantic spectrum but still allosexual, often the same people who defend teens' rights to be (for example) bisexual turn around and say "you're too young for that".

Why?

Honestly, it comes down to sex-negative views that sex is inherently impure/disgusting, and of course children are the perfect example of purity and innocence, so they shouldn't be thinking about such "dirty" topics.

Of course a teenager can be asexual, that distances them from icky gross sex & means they would likely to be only engaging in chaste, pure, wonderful romance. Of course a teenager can be aroace, that makes them little cinnamon infantile babies, safe from all sexuality. (/sarcasm) (Also completely ignores the existence of sex-favourable aces and aroaces)

It comes off as very hypocritical though, because a teenager identifying as bisexual but not aromantic (so biromantic, but that distinction isn't typically made) is seen as acceptable, when they are expressing the same sexual desires as a teenager who is bisexual and aromantic. The only difference is that the first teenagers' sexuality is seen to be "balanced out" by the presence of nice wholesome romance.

tldr: if teenagers can identify as bisexual/gay/lesbian/pansexual/etc. whilst being alloromantic, it is hypocritical to say a teenager cannot identify as one of the above sexualities whilst being aromantic, because romance is not inherently more pure than sex and sex is not inherently impure.

As an old school Tim Burton fan, I cannot stress enough how much I love Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

is it perfect film? far from it

but it was funny and macabre and Lydia was dancing with BJ and the 8 year old in me who shipped them from the first moment I watched them (movie and cartoon) was thrilled to bits and that means something I think

My favourite thing is hearing people speak to animals in their first language and I don't know what they're saying and neither does the animal but I kinda do understand what they mean which means the animal probably does too. Does that make sense

Glory, my crow 'sona

Bird brain is wiggling a bit this morning.

Caw caw hello! Been loving your birds! If you're interested, I would like to request my good friend the American Crow. :-)

day 38

today's bird is the american crow!

- crows sometimes make and use tools!

- they congregate in large numbers in winter to sleep in communal roots, with sometimes up to two million crows in one roost!

- crows can perform logic and reasoning tasks at a level comparable to a human seven-year-old!

i'm all for more aspec representation in general (of course i am) but like. there's really something to be said about how i can make a post that explicitly says "i would like to see more aroallo/alloaro characters in sitcoms because i think there are comedic dynamics that are worth exploring" and many people responding by tagging canon aroace characters/subtextually aroace characters and/or making the post more about aroace characters

like that is a valid point!! we do need more aroace characters, but when the majority of aspec representation is aroace or ace characters, a post calling for more aroallo/alloaro representation (that we already have very little of outside of headcanon) is not really the place to talk about that

Asked my friend for a random word to participate in the tumblr ask culture. Was given 'claws'. Too easy, I said. After the earlier posts I saw. Hope this is cool to send, it's kinda nsfw

So. Husks claws. Hmmmmmm. Thoughts, feelings? He uses retractable claws to give nice gentle scratches during lovemaking, rougher scratches while fucking hard, and has a strict rule about not startling him or finishing him off while he's got them retracted while givin a handy or fingering just in case, he wants to be careful

Anon, any nsfw stuff about Husk (or even other hazbin characters) is cool to send

Feelings on Husk's claws? Good. Very good.

Perfect for grazing over your skin in light, tickling touches that give you goosebumps - he laughs when you give him a light smack for doing it to your neck.

The feeling of them digging into your hips or back as he moves you around during sex, sometimes he grips a little too hard and pricks your skin. As beads of bright red blood well up he licks them away, whispering sorry against your soft skin. If you tell him to do it more, he's happy to oblige, within reason

I don't know if they are actually retractable or not, it seems like everyone in Hell has claws of some variety, but it certainly would be useful for sexy times, as you said. I could see his first time being with someone after his transformation, without retractable claws, being pretty nerve wracking cause he doesnt want to cause damage to such...delicate equipment. But if he can simply tuck them away into the soft fur of his paws, then its a huge relief X3

No, but I can't stop thinking about them... How Astarion felt that he had to seduce others for his own safety, and how he has no idea how to act around someone who genuinely cares for him. And how Gale doesn't know a form of love other than complete devotion/servitude, and is constantly feeling like he isn't enough. How Astarion expected to be used, and how Gale expected to be rejected every step of the way.

And also how Astarion can make Gale learn to put himself first for a change, and Gale can be Astarion's anchor when he is about to go too far (and Astarion can do the same for him when the power of the crown tempts him). It may not be perfect, but to me, it's what they need. Just someone who, despite all the differences, understands everything - the hunger, the solitude, the yearning for something out of your reach, the feeling that your entire worth is reduced to what you can offer others.

Gale values Astarion's freedom. Astarion values Gale regardless of what his magic can offer. That's new for them... And neither of them knows what to do about it. All they know is that is feels nice.
