Remember today when you see 100+ articles about how ‘civil’ and ‘noble’ H.W. Bush was that today is World AIDS Day. That 100,000 people, many LGBT+ individuals, especially gay men, died under his and Reagan’s watch. That he banned HIV+ people from entering the US, reduced research funding, and prevented educators from speaking about safe sex in favor of abstinence only education.

“I have sex with my partner, have kinks, fantasize, and enjoy sex/masturbation but I’m asexual!” boy have I got some news for you

Im gonna put some things into perspective for you.Im going to make this as non NSFW and PG rated as possible but if you dont want to read things related to sex(even tho most of this isnt explicit and is something sex ed in highschools can cover), dont read this, i’ll just reblog this for the followers :

  • Lesbians have had sex with men they were dating,(mostly) before they realized that they were a lesbian but have been able to be sexually aroused and orgasm during sex with men.Gay men have had sex with women they were dating, (mostly) before they realized that they were gay but have been able to get hard and orgasm while having sex with women.All of that doesnt mean that lesbians are sexually attracted to men or gays are sexually attracted to women bc sexual attraction is about experiencing sexual feelings towards the gender(s) you are attracted to, sexual attraction isnt about “who you fuck” bc people can “fuck” literally anyone 
  • Kinks are sexual, but they dont have anything to do with sexual attraction.Sexual attraction is about experiencing sexual feelings and desire to have sex towards the gender(s) you are attracted to .Kinks are things that arouse people during sex.Wanting to be chocked during sex doesnt tell anything about Which gender of people you want to be chocking you .
  • Idk WHAT do you mean by “fantasizing” here but if it means “fantasizing about having sex with other people” then ace people dont dothat.Idk where you learnt that but that isnt something ace people do.If by “fantasizing” you mean “just THINK about sex” then thats ridiculous too since many many lesbians have only casually thought about having sex with men and many gay men have only casually thought about having with women bc of compulsory heterosexuality.That doesnt make them any less lesbian/gay
  • Again , masturbation doesnt have to do ANYTHING with sexual attraction?Its preformed by a person on themselves so it doesnt tell anything about who they are attracted too?using sex toys on oneself doesnt mean a person is sexually attracted to sex toys 

None of the things you described have anything to do with sexual attraction.Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction towards other people.Since none of these things have anything to do with sexual attraction, ace people can do all these things and can be ace .

Some ace people can and do fantasize about having sex with other people, actually. Often celebrities and fictional characters, where they’re well and truly outside of actual possibility. Or with a generic nondescript partner for kinky fantasy.

I agree with this addition! And since I’m not the mod that wrote above I’d even add a bit myself. If you describe “fantasize about sex” as think of a hypothetical that maximizes your comfort and enjoyment, aces can do that! I feel like aces are slightly different in that those fantasizes tend to be a bit more hypothetical or in theory than a specific or very action focused fantasy that some allo people picture when asked what their sexual fantasy is.
