- Hello! What is asexuality? Watch, and I'll tell you.
Sorry about the terrible camera focus... I needed to get this video done today and couldn't bring myself to re-film the whole thing. Again, apologies.
Here is the link to AVEN's site where I got the definition presented in the video: www.asexuality.org/?q=overvie...
Have a lovely day and be sure to tell an ace in the universe that you love them!

I'm so glad you differentiated sexual desire from sexual attraction and spoke about reasons aces might have for having sex. I am asexual and experience a sexual desire (because, y'know, I have a sex drive) and I have sex with my boyfriend because of this reason (also because I love him romantically). And a lot of the times I feel like I question if I actually am asexual because I experience this sexual desire and I act on it with someone I love. But I act on it because I love him romantically, not because I am sexually attracted to him. It feels like this sort of thing is left out in ace discussions or ignored or not spoken about because people don't seem to think you can have sex as an asexual or desire it or want to have sex with someone if you're asexual. I don't see enough people talking about it. I liked your cake analogy a lot it really resonated with me.
I donn't think I could do that without a panic attack that gives me nasusia
I am definitely Bi, but I hold space for the ace community. I think it's beautiful defining and explaining all of these different experiences, some of which I have been through.
I've just discovered your channel and want to tell you that you're such a wonderful host! Charming, thoughtful and lovely. Thank you for all the work you're doing ^_^
do you guys think they're asexu-ELLE?
The Elle puns follow me everywhere...
@@SpaceyAces You could almost say that they’re… inescapab-ELLE.
This was so helpful I’m still not sure if I’m ace or not but it was very informative
I’m glad to hear it; thanks for the feedback! 💜
what does normal sexuality look like? do allo people feel sexual attraction to everyone, someone once a day or once a week? Im confused as to the actual difference 🤔
Good question. If you're into people, and it's not an irregular experience for you, you may just be allo. You could also watch our video "Describe Sexual Attraction | Aces Asking Sex Questions" to hear what allosexual people say attraction feels like, and how regularly they feel it.
At the age of almost thirty, I discovered last year that I might be on the asexual spectrum. However I often times doubtet myself, because I couldn‘t quite figure out the difference between sexual attraction and sexual desire. Your videos have been the first I saw to clearly differenciate between the two and explain them. Thanks to that I am now pretty sure that I actually never really felt sexually attracted to anyone - and therefore for the first time feel ok to label myself as part of the ace community 😌
I am sending this to my parents to come out to them I hope this goes well
They ignored me
Oh no!
I'm happy i found your channel today thank you
2:21 Your adorable smile when describing how asexuality (like sexuality in general) is on a SPECTRUM 😍 -- BTW, does it offend you to be complimented? It certainly doesn't offend me if someone isn't attracted to me (regardless their sexuality), so I never expect my compliments to be returned, you don't OWE me anything, but I wanna know if it bothers you (or whomever else I might compliment), so I can be a more "lovely human."
I don’t mind compliments at all! It may seem self-absorbed, but I actually have quite a fixation on hearing how others perceive me because I never really know. Thanks for the complement, lovely human! ❤️
Hi! You mentioned a few different kinds of attraction. Do you plan on making some video about them?
Hi!! I definitely do plan on making a video on different kinds of attraction. It’ll probably be within the next two weeks actually 😉.
Thank you! 🙌
Thanks for the info so how to meet other similar people...would a group be ok to start in my area...or would that be too forward
Thank you for this great video❤ According to this video I'm low or not at all libido asexual aromantic I have never felt the need to have sex with anyone ever. I'm a man so that makes me feel alone in this world where everyone are in relationships arround me.
i think this may clear some things up for me. I belive im Ace bc I never really thought about sex, but when i started to i found it gross then developed a fear of sex bc of pain some sexual activity causes some people belive that gets plesurable over time but i didnt so i dont know if there is a label for that or anything but im pretty sure i might be ace
Hey Spacey Aces. I am asexual too so I'm in the Ace Club, YAAY !! I came out a year ago now and know I'm ace and know that this is my path in life. My asexuality is finding people attractive but in a romantic way NOT in a sexual way So that still makes me Ace, right ? Also do all Aces wear the black rings ? I ask because I'm one of those who wears one but I do see other Aces either in Pride events or RUclips videos not wearing one.
How do you spell the #14? (The last one)
Do you mean the last one in the 14 Asexual Spectrum Identities video? If so, I believe it's "caedsexual."
Do asexual people feel comfortable when ppl make jokes about sex?
Depends on the asexual person. Some don’t, some do. Usually this has to do with one’s level of sex repulsion/aversion, and those who are more sex neutral or sex favourable are more likely to be just fine hearing sex jokes. Although, many sex averse aces may be just fine with it as well and simply not like it when directed at themselves or in other specific scenarios. Every ace is different! Thanks for the question, hopefully I answered well.
oftentimes we are the ones joking about sex! -Lau
I call it "lack of hubbahubba onlalas"
Ah yes. Being asexual is no different from being human. But it sure is difficult being a god. :p
I’m asexual but I didn’t knew (and I still don’t know) some stuff about asexuality all I knew was asexual people don’t experience sexual attraction but now I know much more. Thanks for explanation. 🖤🤍💜
