I think… I think I figured out pretty good analogy for sexual attraction and libido? Oh maybe not but it works for me xD
Libido is hunger. Attraction is appetite.
You can be hungry but not having appetite for anything. You simply satisfy your body’s physiological need.
And sometimes you are not hungry, but then you see that apple and it look so appetizing. You want to bite it, you imagine the smell, the sweet juice in your mouth.
People with different attractions feel appetite for different kinds of food. Some people don’t stomach specific kinds of food even though there is nothing wrong with it.
Asexual people don’t feel appetire or rarely do. They do still get hungry.
Some people don’t get hungry in the first place. And it doesn’t matter if they have appetite or not.
Annoyed at what I’m seeing on twitter this morning so, just so the aphobes know, just because one is asexual doesn’t mean they are against sexualization of things or of themselves. There are plenty of aces who enjoy dressing revealingly and even ace sex workers. And none of them are any less asexual for how they dress, or for what they do.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.
I’m thinking of starting up a comic about how I’m pretty far on the Asexual spectrum and my sister is Pansexual
Just our prospectives on what that means to us and probably the stupid stuff we do in our daily lives

relationships don’t have to be all about sex or making out and i feel like a lot of people don’t realize that.. like i don’t care if you don’t kiss me, i just care that you feel loved and happy. a healthy relationship is like crying together, helping your partner clean their room, going shopping together.. doing normal people things but still having them there because it feels nicer or is more fun… we don’t need to be all over each other but if thats what you like it’s just an added bonus, ya know?
- sincerely, a greysexual

Happy trans day of visibility to graysexual and/or otherwise a-spec trans people!

It’s okay to be ace and have types and certain things you like about people. This does not take away from your ace identity.
Here’s to my graysexuals. The ones who’ve only felt attraction once in their lives. The ones who aren’t sure what kind of attraction it was. The ones who are solid in their identity. The ones who aren’t sure.
You matter, you’re valid, and I love you very much.
ace-specs who have problems with dissociation, have dissociative episodes, have a dissociative disorder, and/or are part of a system are amazing and beautiful and their asexuality is hella valid <3

With prevalent sex negativity and essentialist ideas of orientation & sexuality, aces often face invalidation and stigma for their sex drives and/or sexual behaviour. Check out these ace perspectives on sex and kink: https://taaap.org/2021/10/28/ace-week-21-aces-sex-kink/
[ID: Anakin and Padmé in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones staring at each other. In panel 1, Anakin, labelled “my body,” says “you’re asexual.” In 2, Padmé, labelled “me,” smiles and says “that means I won’t be horny, right?” Panel 3 zooms in on Anakin’s staring face (still labelled “my body”). In 4, Padmé’s smile falls and she repeats (still labelled “me”), “that means I won’t be horny, right?” End ID.]

Compulsory sexuality & sex negativity are mutually reinforcing: both insist on a narrow “proper” way of engaging in sexual activity, also considered to be an essential life milestone of “real” adulthood.
