Because well, I am Asexual, and well… it is incredibly rare to find another Asexual person anywhere. Not to shame people for their interests, but I am not comfortable with a lot of posts, even if they are meant to be for a joke, implying that everyone gets horny, and/or that apparent “Peak Hedonism” or whatever it’s called, is about having lots of sex. Again, something I am not interested in.
I have seen no signs of any Asexual friendly spaces on this site, not even in the LGBTQIA+ Subcommunity for this site. Although I have been socially isolated by otherwise queer friendly spaces before, for “only” being Asexual.
Not sure what you are asking. Like is there a comm where nobody ever talks about sex?

Yeah, I’m confused. This site is one of the least horny places I’ve ever seen on the internet.
They probably mean a place they can talk about lives and experiences of asexual folks. In a word rife by sexuals (not sure this is the correct term) being asexual could be isolating.

i think allosexual would be more accurate here. they’re like, the complete opposite to us asexuals lmao
idk if there’s a term for this, but I assume OP feels alienated by the assumption that experiencing sexual attraction is the norm. Like heteronormativity but for sexuality in general, I suppose.
Allonormativity is what you’re talking about. Amatonormativity is the assumptions related to romantic attraction/relationships.
See Chen’s book Ace for a primer on asexuality https://www.angelachen.org/ace
Are you looking for a space to specifically discuss asexuality, or a space about general things minus references to sex?
Hi! If you’re looking for a community specifically for asexual people, we at Lemmygrad have one over at !ace@lemmygrad.ml 😊
Always nice to meet a fellow asexual person! ^^)/ 🫂
I do think Asexuals should get a space of their own. I don’t think the entire site should have to repress its sexuality when it’s already weirdly puritanical on that end. I also find it odd for asexuals to be incorporated into LGBTQ comm when sexuality is literally the defining criteria for the comm.
I think GSM (gender and sexual minorities) is perhaps a more accurate label. The community is about being different from the cishet majority, unless you’re suggesting straight trans people should be excluded too?
I’m not sure I understand. Why wouldn’t straight trans people be part of an lgbtq comm?
when sexuality is literally the defining criteria for the comm.
Are you suggesting being trans is a sexual thing?
Because Asexual people aren’t heterosexual. Nor are they necessarily adverse to sex and sexuality. They experience and engage with sexuality differently to allosexual people. They’re not just people who are sexually repressed.
!anti_cishet_aktion@hexbear.net has a rule against aphobia.
