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.

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! ^^)/ 🫂

Are you looking for a space to specifically discuss asexuality, or a space about general things minus references to sex?

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.

i definitely see stuff i would define as horny posting fairly often

but the horniness level tends to be lower than it is in other places, which for me personally means it’s fine bc it doesn’t trigger my sex repulsion. but it’s def there

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.

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

Yeah looks correct

Allosexual, sometimes shortened to allo, is a term used to describe a person who experiences sexual attraction and does not identify as asexual.

!anti_cishet_aktion@hexbear.net has a rule against aphobia.

Feel free to post some memes from Reddit’s r/aaaaaaacccccccce or whatever — we just don’t have as many active Fediverse users to sustain active communities.

I definitely think ace comrades (and aro comrades too!) should get a space or regular thread somewhere for themselves, to talk and share what they want to share.

I guess there needs to be a minimum amount of people/interest in it, but I think even if it’s not many people here it should be an option.
