Shoutout to aros

heres a little reminder to you all that if you are asexual you are completely valid and I love you, and if you are aromantic you are completely valid and I love you, and if you are aroace you are completely valid and I love you

kinda weird how even though amatonormativity and everything in our society being sexualized negatively affects everyone, asexuals and aromantics are ignored whenever we try to bring attention to these things

things asexual & aromantic communities have taught me that society never did

***cw: mentions of sex***

  • never getting married is okay
  • never having sex is okay
  • just because two people are attracted to each other doesn’t mean they need to be/should be in a relationship
  • platonic relationships can be as (or more) fulfilling & important than romantic and sexual relationships
  • there are a bunch of different kinds of attraction and you can give them as much or as little weight in your life as you want to
  • romantic relationships that don’t involve sex are perfectly fine
  • there are no rules about what different kinds of relationships are supposed to look like; you can do whatever you want
  • it’s okay to enjoy being alone
  • feelings about sex, romance, and relationships are confusing and they can change a lot; there is no “right way” to feel at any given time
