Description
Quick edit: It did come to my attention that this is one of my more popular stamps. But it was also one of my firsts and it does look like a bit of a mess.
I do deeply apologize for the bad text alignment and such but I am glad that people are actually enjoying the stamp. Update: July 13, 2011, I fixed the spelling, stop bothering me about it kthnksbai
This is if basically clearing up some misconceptions about being an asexual. I was a little confused about myself and what it did mean to be an asexual.
I kind of forgot one point to bring up in the stamp. An asexual is not bound to moral or religious code or anything. That another misconception. I'm actually a Buddhist and I strongly believe that sex is neither good or bad.
Does being an asexual doesn't mean you can't feel love for somebody else, that would just make you a heartless monster. I can still romance and love somebody else. I know that the scientific term of asexuality is the ability to reproduce without sex, but don't be ridicules because humans don't have those type of genetics, it's impossible.
It's all very simple. I just don't want to have sex at all in my life. While everyone at my school was going through the experience of sexual attraction, I was not getting anything. Nothing really did seem to turn me on. I did find this to be very strange, but browsing on the internet and forums I discovered that I was an asexual.
I still want a life partner at some point. Just somebody who can stick by me for the rest in my life. And I know in my heart that I will find someone who cares about me. It will be a bit awkward to say that I never want sex, but I have confidence in my personality to just simply love someone and being able to just simply skip the sex.
I know this sucks, GIMP seemed to be giving me some issues today and randomly made bold text.
But if anyone wants this to be a plz account so you can place this just let me know and it shall be done.

Yea, I just found out there's a huge chance of me being Asexual and I'm going to have to explain to my boyfriend about it. Not really looking forward to it.

That's one of the main reasons why I'm nervous about the idea of getting into the relationship, honestly

I found this out about myself this year!
I had no idea that any of the Pride flags/colors actually had anything to do with me, but when I did my research, I realized that I'm asexual too.
I never saw the big idea with making out, tbh. But I'm glad that this wasn't just me.

More people need to be aware of this. Sadly, in fiction, itβs hard to show asexuality...

absistence/whatever you call not having sex actually leads to sexual frustration

Abstinence and asexual are different
You choose abstinence
You don't choose to be asexual

Changing the chemistry of our minds to crave sex wonβt stop such things from happening to us, if they do happen. Itβs usually about power...

You canβt tell sexual orientation by the face. Rape is a cruel thing done no matter what orientation the person being raped is...
(I see Homura as asexual, actually. Asexual, but deeply in love with Madoka. Fanon and I disagree on many things...)

There's one thing i don't understand about asexuals; they claim they don't feel/experience sexual desires or arousal, which begs the question: have they even TRIED sex before they can legitimately say if they do or don't like sex? I mean, they don't have the desires but what if they do it anyway? Can they still feel pleasure?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just consider this legitimate curiosity and not take it for the condescending tone it seems to carry (if you're not being purposefully condescending, my apologies, as text has a way of not really carrying actual tones across).
But my response, speaking as an asexual, would be thinking about asking this to any other person: would you go up to a straight man and tell him how does he know he's straight if he's never even BEEN with another man or tried gay sex before? Do you go to a lesbian and ask if they've even HAD sex with a male before deciding they were a lesbian?
The answer is no, you don't do that, because it's rude and invasive of someone's privacy. Whether an asexual has or hasn't had sex before is absolutely NONE of your or anyone's concern. In any case, being an asexual means you do not experience sexual attraction. Attraction is different from arousal.
You should also know that asexuality is an umbrella term; there are many different types of asexuals. There are some who don't experience any sort of sexual attraction or arousal at all and loathe sex, no matter whether it's fictional or real - and there are some asexuals who love the idea of sex, especially in pornography or media and support other people who love sex and experience arousal. And there's a whole range of asexuals that fall between those two sides of the spectrum. The point being, they all share the similarity of not experiencing sexual attraction.Β
Being an asexual does not mean one is incapable of experiencing arousal or sexual desires. Some have sex because it feels good/they like it but they won't ever feel an attraction to the person they're having sex with. Some have sex because it makes their partner happy and seeing their partner enjoying themselves makes them feel happy. And some asexuals are sex-repulsed and will never have sex and they don't need to have sex to know that they despise it.Β
Can they still feel pleasure?
I'm sorry, but that is a silly question and almost borders rude because "pleasure" is a broad term. Who doesn't feel pleasure? The pleasure from a hug, from doing something you enjoy, from doing something that feels good like taking a bath after a stressful day or getting a shoulder rub. But like any person, 'pleasure' can mean something different to every asexual. For one asexual, pleasure can be simply cuddling up to your partner and enjoying an evening in together - to others, pleasure can also include the sensual or sexual kind such as through masturbation or viewing pornography. Everyone is different and this applies to other sexualitiesΒ and even non-sexual cases as well. Just how not all men get pleasure from being with another man, or not everyone gets pleasure from partaking in anal sex, not all asexuals will view "pleasure" as the same. Some enjoy pleasure of the sexual or sensual kind while others abhor it and will not partake.Β
But to ask "can they still feel pleasure" is silly - that makes asexuals sound inhuman.Β

Thanks for clearing it up, and doing it big time even; these doubts have been itchin' on my noggin for quite a while now.
Sorry if i came off as a jerk or something; i was just really curious about this kind of sexual orientation.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's okay, I apologize too if I seemed annoyed or snippy. If this post could help you understand a bit more, then I did my job.
I've just been dealing with a lot of people who have been extremely rude and hostile after leaving rude comments against LGBT+ folk and call me "faggot" or "dyke" in response to trying to inform you of the same things I told you. So that may have come across my writing so just know I mean no harm to you

Thank you. I apologize if what i said sounded somewhat offensive, my wording can be a little off sometimes; no wonder i get bitten half the time i talk to someone on the internet.
I was actually really fascinated by asexual people, in fact, i'm thinking about making my OC asexual; i mean, it fits their sexual orientation perfectly, i just didn't know there was a name for it. All the things i hear about asexual people makes them seem like total sweethearts.
This world is full of jerks, dinks, douches and philistines; eviscerating them can be a bit much so best you can do is ignore them. It ain't easy, but keeping your cool will come you off as the better man(or woman) while the other guy makes a complete arse of himself.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, well, just like anyone else, asexuals can be sweethearts...or complete douchebags. Just depends on the person you're talking to. 
And yeah, I don't pay much attention to people like that - they're just sad individuals who like to use words they don't even understand the meaning of and shout like some sort of immature teenager throwing a tantrum xDΒ

Some aces have sex, ya know. They can feel sexual desires, they just don't feel them towards a person. Some aces have sex to please themselves and/or their partners.Β
Every ace is different. :3Β
the stamp would be more accurate saying "I don't feel sexual attraction towards people"
still like the stamp, it's good to have awareness out there, so good for you.

well. they don't enjoy to have sex.

I think this is an awesome stamp and I'm so glad you put it out there to help clear things up for folks!Β I just learned what being an asexual meant about a month ago and it has made me feel SO much better about myself because now I understand that, like you, while everyone else was experiencing all these changes and attractions as teens it didn't do anything for me either.Β I wanted romance and love but sex just didn't interest me at all!Β In fact I find it a big turn off.Β Anyway this is awesome!Β Thanks for sharing your knowledge with others and sharing your own experiences in the description!

Once I told my friend that I am asexual and some random guy replied to me that "asexuality means that you asexually reproduce". Just... what? IT JUST MEANS THAT I DON'T FEEL SEXUAL ATTRACTION TO OTHERS. Ugh, I wanted to slap him so hard...

well, the scientific definition of asexual is to reproduce on your own

I am a gray-asexual, I barely feel sexual attraction, even though I am not a Buddhist (I like Buddhism) I also see sex as neutral, why? Because
1. Sex can be pleasurable (Suggesting it is good)
2. Sex creates the little ones (once again suggesting it is good)
3. Sex is an act of connection (so it must be good right?)
1. Β Sex is forced down people's throats, it is used to trap us and imprison our minds, and we are told we must have sex without question no matter how much it may hurt or feel icky ( it is probably bad)
2. Some people must have sex to have a meaningful life or else their life will fail (Suggesting that it is bad)
3. People use it as an excuse for selfishness which is all too common (suggesting it is bad)
4. It feels painful/uncomfortable for people (so it must be bad eh?)
5. Sexual attraction is often mistaken for romantic attraction, even love! (Bad)
I say sex is neutral based on these things, of course if you are asexual and don't have sex people are going to dismiss you as incapable of loving and that a romance without sex is not romance, it's friendship. It's about time humanity opens their eyes and learn to see that their interpretation of love needs some changing.Β
What If your romantic partner
1. Accepted you for you
2. Learned to get past your flaws and pros and just see a beautiful person
3. Was always there for you
4. Risked their life for you
5. Helped you to become a better person
6. Wished for your happiness over theirs
7. Β Was patient with you
8. Gave you up if it meant your wellbeing or happiness
9. Β Would rather die than cheat on you
10. Cared about you til the day they die
11. Laughed with you and cried with you
What if they did all this but never have sex with you, most people would immediately declare. "Not love because sex is missing!" Which is kinda sad, and even if this person didn't give you sex is it really worth losing them? You'll have to be a pretty mean person for that. Β
