AVEN Post of the Week
|
If you believe that your asexuality is deeply important to you, and is a source of pride, then no one can make you feel bad about it. Confidence is your armour - it protects you from insults, glares and put-downs. You must keep a calm head, but also know that you will not put up with that sort of treatment, because hey - you're AWESOME. You're awesome and special and you DO NOT DESERVE THIS TREATMENT. Once you keep these things in mind, then emotionally, it's hard for them to hurt you.
– Great Thief Yatagarasu on facing discrimination.

• … that asexual relationships are based on the same elements that are also important for many sexual people, like understanding, commitment, trust, emotional intimacy and communication?
• … that for some asexuals arousal is a fairly regular occurrence, though it is not associated with a desire to find a sexual partner? Some asexuals will occasionally masturbate, but feel no desire for partnered sexuality. Other asexual people experience little or no arousal.
