Description
"An asexual is someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy , which people choose, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who someone is. There is considerable diversity among the asexual community ; each asexual person experiences things like relationships, attraction, and arousal somewhat differently. Asexuality does not make anyone's life any worse or any better, they just face a different set of challenges than most sexual people. Asexuality is distinct from celibacy or sexual abstinence , which are behaviors, while asexuality is generally considered to be a sexual orientation. Some asexuals do participate in sex, for a variety of reasons." (aven wiki )Also used as an umbrella term for anyone on the Asexual Spectrum which is the "... range of intensity of sexuality from asexual to sexual. People may use the term “asexual spectrum” to refer to a range close to the asexual end – levels of sexuality that are so low that they identify more with asexuality than other sexual identities." (asexuality.org ) I use the term "acespec" as a shorthand for "asexual spectrum" and can be used as a standalone label (like an alternative to graysexuality). Does not conflate anyone nonasexual to be "constantly sexual".
If possible use the thumb if using, otherwise just fave and maybe comment if you like it/are using! Sources and explanations are welcome!
