If you're actually still reading this, tell me how pretty I am in the comments below. I'm not saying tell me that I'm pretty, I'm saying tell me HOW pretty I am. There's a difference, yo.
I've always liked the description of asexuality as sex being a tennis court. Some people like to play tennis, some like to watch, and then there's you, sitting in the park next door eating a nice sandwich. I like sandwiches.
Let's have a picnic! I'll bring some blueberries.
+Rhys TheGraveDigger I'll bring the lamingtons!
What is the connection between asexuals and food
Every analogy is food
like we even have a word in our vocabulary "Zucchini"
Maia Peterson Food is better than sex I guess?
+Sweet Spark you can say that again
"Sex is like taking a jog, some people just hate taking a jog" Perfectly concise, couldn't have explained it better
Achinoam B my life
I hate jogging ;-;
as an ace person who hates jogging, that lyric is everything lmao
I’m on my couch
R.I.P @@marsy9959 couch
Me: *Types Aromantic*
Auto correct: *Corrects to A Romantic*
Me: now see, that is the exact opposite of what I am
Lol, I know auto correct and google dont know what aromantic is
BRUH IKR IT GETS ANNOYING THOOO
PLEASE DO THIS
It either autocorrects to a romantic or aromatic. It’s only if you type it a lot that it knows aromantic is a thing
tbf aros can be romantic if you take another meaning of romantic
so technically a romantic could be aromantic
My friend is like "dude you haven't found the person yet." I held up my fist and said "dude you haven't found my fist yet!"
ikr
DID YOU ACTUALLY?!
If so, that's AMAZING! And if not, the comment still made me laugh! XD
Same I am 13 and identify as an ace female but some people say you haven't hit puberty yet so how do you know? But I just do and I might hit puberty and change but I doubt it
KnockKnock cringe
We have probably all heard that reaction. I'm 49. Still haven't found anybody that made me want them sticking their bits in me. Other people think you may be in the closet or your hormones are low or you just need someone to teach you or that asexuality just doesn't exist...
It's A okayyyy
to identify with A
to identify with A
to identify with A
to identify with AAAAAAAAA
@Alaska I was just just singing along.. Read into the lyrics
@Alaska Sorry for not understanding.
i read that as "to identify with *SCREAMING*"
@@fakename1137 well, kind of ㅋㅋㅋ
bruh remember that vine?
aa aa AAAA
When I first told my best friend that I was asexual, he replied with 'and that's a-okay' and we couldn't stop laughing and it made me feel so much less tense about it all, because of an accidentally pun he made, and this just reminded me of that :)
Definitely subscribed
this is my favorite RUclips comment
That's so cute! So glad he was cool with it!
Mine just laughed and didn’t say anything and then they when to another person and asked what asexual is.....
That is true friendship
I told my friend
( she is literally in love with this one guy ) she said “ you just need to find the right person “ 😤
My friend just said, "Very cool".
That was a great day
I'm an Aromantic Asexual. I love this song! I'm so glad that you made a song for all of us Aces.
Eddie me too! Nice to be noticed lol
Me too
YE!
Same here xD
Same here😁
I almost (loudly) came out, because I'm not using headphones. Whoops!
Same
Lol
Sounds like the best way to come out
Polly Little my brother came into the room and I was like WOOP HIDE THE PHONE
My grandmother forced me into an uncomfortable position where i had to tell my mother... She told me it's a faze but... She's knows now x(
THIS SONG. EXCELLENT.
Oh hey it's you!
AmeliaAce I love your videos!!!
AmeliaAce oml I got here from your video lmaoo
I love your channel!!
yep
Does anyone want to start an aspec coffee shop? Just like, for aspec dates, sometimes romantic for the demi and gray-a people and sometimes platonic for everyone? And at Valentine's Day there's no romantic pressure there and the only difference is that every coffee, muffin, tea, cake, just everything has a lil cinnamon heart on top of it. I just think that would be cute.
Have a nice day!
Pole Gremlin I would cry if I saw this anywhere!
I want this to happen so badly
This should be real
Can all the desserts be green white and black
I would be the first customer 🤚/ staff whatever but I wanna be a part of it🙃
Omg
came from u!😆
I watched your Ace/Aro trilogy and I’ve been looking for this song FOREVER OML
Demisexual and proud 💜🖤
Ahh
it's good to hear this once in a while so I don't feel like some kind of alien and know that there's more people like this out there
Moritz Benno Howe I FEEL THE SAME WAY EVERY TIME SOMEONE COMMENTS SOMETHING LIKE THIS! Remember that you are valid, and you live for yourself and not for others 💜💚🖤
I feel this tho TwT
I have never seen anything more relatable 😶🤚
Hey, I'm so glad this song makes you feel included and safe, but I'd LOVE to be an aro ace alien that doesn't have to follow society, and just gorge myself on garlic bread, cake, and Thomas Sanders' videos.
Wait so am I the only alien here? ._.
I will definitely sing this fabulously as I walk down a street full of people with my ukulele
Can u record this please
I'll be there
@HWBanana Guy Yesssssss.
I would sing along so fast!!
"listen up and join the marching band"
Me: nO, nOt agAin
* starts turning emo *
* starts growing black nails *
* gets eyeliner *
Me: When I was, a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching bAnd.
The Vegan Alien THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Not the G note!!!!
NO NO NO MY MIND IS G NOTING ME
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT OF
I managed to ignore the emo urge but you have triggered it. WHERES MY EYELINER
This needs to be on iTunes ACEsap

Better then cake and garlic bread
LilBunnyIzcrazy And now, you have officially taken it too far, buddy.
It's better than taking a jog
I cried the first time I heard this song. It is so nice to have other people to relate to. Now I listen to it at least once a week.

Banjara Bhaiya hereee
My life is confusing. I'm somewhere in between asexual, aromatic and pansexual
Penelope Lagshare woah, that is confusing! If it helps, you can just ignore labels and just do you, just act on how you're feeling at the time.That's what I decided I'll do for my romantic orientation since I can't figure it out.
You could be a asexual pan romantic
Maybe you're aromantic demipansexual?
Danisnotontop A+++ USERNAME BTW
Danisnotontop (love your user name btw) i don't know what i am either, i'm somewhere in between demi, and ace...idk sexuality is weird.
I love this song so much! I am aromantic, and I am going to a LGBTQ+ prom soon with my friend. So excited!
HAVE A WONDERFUL PLATONIC TIME 💚
Yep. Pretty much up until now I've always said that I'm straight, but for some reason the idea of sex just isn't my thing. And now that I realize there are so many different terms for asexuality, I think I've broken down what I am...
Hetero-romantic Asexual
Same!
@@luka_tuna4478 I want cake! But I'm not Asexual... I'm Pansexual so rip
@@luka_tuna4478 thank you!
Yay im so happy u know what u r! Welcome fellow space ace uwu
Oooh so that's the term! Thanks!
This was posted 5 years ago. And I'm still aggressively bopping to it while in my bed with my stuffies.
🖤🩶🤍💜🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈.
Lol the guy in the black leather jacket just flapping it makes me laugh every time
Someone who I consider a friend of mine was kind of aphobic at school today and I sung this song to myself to cheer me up and it really helped!
You're very pretty. if you were a flower. I'd pick you.
You're my favorite.
+Adam Winney I adore this song btw. I just got my ace ring a couple days ago. now I'm not just ace. I'm A+ XD
That was adorable.
JClucky13 XD
Just sent this to my friend, I'm asexual and I hope she finds it a-okay :)
Lena Thompson omg, thats how i told my friend. ( I'm late )
Me two. I am aro and she is okay with it
I told my friend that she didn’t support me but I don’t care she was really toxic anyways.
My aunt: How is your asexuality phase going?
Me: Stronger than your marriage, apparently.
Ace Of Spades
You are the god amongst us all
As an Agender, when u say "It's A-okay to identify as A" that melt my heart 🥺
Aro's and Ace's standup
*stands*
*We must stand for our national anthem*
Sometimes I come back to this song because I just really need to hear the lyrics. Love it so much!
They said: *No homo*
Aromantics said: *No Romo*
Me and my husband are asexuals. I was so lucky to find him.
Sarah Kelly
There should just be an asexual dating sight
Knowing the human population
It probably wouldn’t be popular
But it would be helpful
Wow ..
Ayo, Not sure if you'll ever read this, but thank you for this. I've found comfort in other Aro/Aces and Songs that have to do with it. MY family isn't really the greatest with these things. They bothered me with marriage ever since I came out to them. I keep painting my flags and proudly put them up in my room to remind me I am someone who isn't broken, but who is proud to be with what they identify with. Anyone who reads this you're Valid and flaunt your lovely self don't let anyone get in your way of being happy!
This song is A-OKAY with me, and really fantastic
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS I actually teared up a little. Nearly every person I've come out to has looked at me like I was a freak. This is really reassuring to people like me who are ace and start to think they aren't valid. Plus aro ace people need more exposure so we don't seem so alien to most people.
The fact that I’m sending this to my mom (this is how I’m coming out) is the best because I hate confronting people
you are so positive and kind, so I wish to return the favor! remember, you are always valid and you matter! this applies to anyone else reading this, too. you are valid and you matter! be kind to yourself, don't let people tell you that your thoughts are not valid!
Any panro aces here?
*raises a hand * Yup!
you talking about my people?
Yes!
Yos
@@desireematysik4205 Your profile picture is amazing
You know, for the past year or so I've been pretty sure I fell somewhere on the Ace spectrum. But this song made me realize just how right I was. Something my friends and family would probably view as a silly song about being ace/aro was able to bring me to tears and help me confirm that I'm a member of the ace community. So I'd like to thank you for putting this out into the world and helping me to feel A-okay with who I am.
I’m sending this to my family because I’m too scared to actually come out to them.
Bean I might do that too 😂😂😂
How'd it go?
Yooo I’m aro/ace and this is AMAZING. Thanks for showing appreciation for our community! I’m sure me and all the other aromantics and/or asexuals out there really appreciate your kindness in making this song! This personally makes me feel really happy.
Love ya platonically!
Same here!
HOW DID IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO FIND THIS??
Jezuzu SAME
Had to listen to this after having a conversation that really bothered me today
everyone cept aces and those that understand: ASEXUALS ARENT OPRESSED
also everyone: "So what is that" "how did you get diagnosed with that" "oh that doesnt exist" "oh YOULL FIND THE RIGHT PERSON" "quit trying to be special" "what do you do with life" "OH YOU THINK YOU ARE A PLANT LIKE FURRIES THINK THEY ARE ANIMALS" (yes ive heard the last one before ;-;)
"Sex is like taking a jog
some people just hate taking a jog"
I RELATE TO BOTH
I'm in tears, this is so validating
Those are the best analogies I've ever heard. Also you're as pretty as a monarch butterfly.
I want to tell my story about me being Aro Ace!
Back when I was 2 years old I was IN LOVE with girls, my mom always saw me as straight and I was straight. Not until end of 6th grade I slowly started to loose interest on girls.
(You know that when people are teens they start deciding their sexuality according to their feelings.
Welp that is ME)
TIME SKIP
Last year I felt feelings for some boy and I was gay? For like 3 months but 1 month later I didn't feel attracted to boys. And I thought I was straight but, I didn't feel attraction to boys OR girls and I realised that I wouldn't like to have sexual relationships.
The End
(Aftermath of when I came out to ONLY my mom)
Now it's December
I come out to my mom and she said "I will always accept you"
Dec. 30
I ask her if she will still accept me being Aro Ace and she said
"Why accept you? It's just a phase don't commit a mistake like Freddie Mercury"
I didn't know how to react
1. I'm not gay I can't get STD
2. Why a phase? WHY EVERYTHING IS A PHASE?
3. Why can't you accept me mom?
Dec. 31
My mom was scolding me
I don't remember what I got scolded for
But then she added:
"Stop getting your little ideas and you know what I'm talking about"
...
Wow
...
My Mom: "If your dad knows about this he will take your electronics away cause you're just getting crazy"
GUESS WHAT PEOPLE
MY FATHER IS HOMOPHOBIC, AND PHOBIC WITH THE LGBTQ+
HAHAHHAH I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE SUCH AN ACCEPTING FAMILY!
So guess who gotta hide their sexuality :)
Aww I’m so sorry about that. I was lucky enough to have parents who were just happy that I never got any “boy troubles” and stuff. Hang in there friend, and no matter what anyone else says, you don’t ever have to stop being you!
I'm not even gonna come out as a hetero-romantic ace until I move out. My whole family is phobic with LGBTQ+. And I figured out my sexuality at the beginning of 7th grade lmao. But I was questioning for two years. Especially, since I kissed a girl a few years back-
I know I'm a bit late, but thanks for making this. It really helped me. This shows that even though you may have a lack of attraction, it doesn't mean you lack a heart.
this song should be put on spotify
yeah!!
I realized I was ace when I thought about it and never experienced sexual attraction and somehow I didn't realize it until like 2 months ago
I just came out to my parents as ace and they were so wonderful! I'm so happy right now.
YOU'RE ADORABLE.
This is awesome :D
Whenever I feel that internalized acephobia getting to me, I always play this song. Thank you!
ace aro here 💜🖤💜
when you most identifie with aro ace but your confused as heck cuz your also bi and agender but also dont care what gender you are or people call you but also might be a lesbian but still hELLA confUSED
I'm proud to be a Queer/ Ace Latina with Autism!!!
I’m aegosexual, I don’t mind seeing sexual things or watching sexual things but I’m absolutely disgusted with it happening to me, I’d throw up. I also don’t like kisses in the mouth but forehead or cheek kisses make me super happy.
I love love this song!!!
I'm going to play this every time I walk into a room
I may not be any of the A’s but this song still slaps
Honestly, one of the most charming and lovely songs I've heard in a very long time.
My fellow Asexuals, we are only 1% of the population but hey. We are *STRONG* ✌💖&😁
🤍💕👍✨ present
*I'd listen to this every night!*
I came out to my friend as ace and she said, "That makes sense"
I came out to my older sister as ace and she said, "OMG. That's adorable. I'm in love!"
Both were very comforting things to hear for coming out for the first time.
Adam Winney, you sir are as gorgeous as a king's meal is to a starving person
And fantastic at singing too I mean damn
I have NEVER met someone who is also ace like me and it makes me sad
Monamonswim Hi! I’m Llew! Now you’ve met someone else who’s ace! :3
Waffle_Queer hiii :3
neither have I!
i'm ace!
This song actually made me feel better about being aromantic-asexual. Thank you, amazing person, for making this. =D
3 years later, I'm biromantic asexual! Still come back to this song when I'm feeling like the only one
my dad came into my room whle i was listening to this (he has anxiety and hates confrontation), asked me what i was doing, thought i was listening to a christian song about waiting until marriadge, i said no, tried to start explaining what this is but he just went "yeah a-okay" and left the room
i have been sitting on my bed for 30 minutes trying to decide what to do next
I think you got lucky I-
Love this songgggg!!! WHERE MY ASEXUALS AT? SQUADDDDD🖤💜🏳️🌈
I came out as asexual this year and was outed in highschool i have now started college and feel very accepted this song is amazing and helped me through alot i recently started questioning if i was arromantic and this song helped me alot
I so want the ukulele chords for this 😍
Go ahead and click open the description box, there's a link to the lyrics/chords there ;)
+Adam Winney I must have missed them, thanks for letting me know! :)
i love this 😂 ❤ especially since i came out as aroace to some people i thought I could trust one of them has just referred to me as "big-head" ever since (when he has to be the most bigheaded person I have ever met!) and the other one keeps sending me explicit images of men, of her and her boyfriend and keeps asking me if I've met "the one". on the flip side, my two best friends were completely cool with it! One of them (who I was nervous about telling becuase he has had a crush on me for 5 years) was more than cool with it he said "I couldn't care less all I know is that you're one of the greatest friends I've ever had and nothing you could say or do can possibly change that and especially not something you have no control over." he lightly teases me about it sometimes (more about the "friends" that were bigoted than about me) but thats ok becuase it makes me laugh. And the other one came out as trans-masc symltaneously! I'm helping him get a binder and to transition and tell his family and he's helping me come out to my family and to fight the phobia. Oh and he is my QPP. my family still doesn't know because they told me that it isn't real. so yeah.
Oh and I'll subscribe becuase you have a Zachary Quinto telling me to 😂
'I identify with A!' 💜💚 love it! :)
I will vibe to this song every time I tell myself I'm not valid
This is my new favorite song omg. As an aroace I can confirm every word is true.
This song is absolutely adorable I love it 😻
I came out to my dad, and he lowkey said something about how "I'm a girl"
And even said something that basically meant he thinks that the terms are made up😤😤😤
Proud Aro Ace here! This is a wonderful work of art and I love it!
Apparently, a lot of people think being asexual equates to being blind... I can be asexual *and* go "DAYUM" every time I see Chris Hemsworth shirtless. It's called aesthetic attraction.
this song is just such a good vibe
Oh this sounds lovely, and TRUE! My parents dont understand it, maybe if I send them this they'll finally get it !
I'm gonna play this when I come out. I'm a panromantic ace, this is really cute and very comforting. 🙂
My ace friend: thank you. I loved the song
Me: you have a very good voice!!!!!!!!!
This song was really important to me when I first realized I was ace, and while I was coming out. Thank you for making it!
Casie Dragmire thank you thank you thank you for validating the power this song still holds to the Ace community, it’s greatly appreciated 💜💚🖤🤍
I'm back four years later to thank you again 💜@@AdamWinney
THIS MAKES ME EVEN PROUDER TO BE ACE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS 🖤💜
ACE/ARO PRIDE MY FRIENDS
I'm aroace and this really means a lot to me cause we're often time invisible the A is always silent and it's time that changes so thank you ❤❤❤❤
I’m a gender fluid asexual lesbian. Although I’m still kinda exploring
This... This actually helped me. I thaught I couldn't be aromantic because I do sometimes fall in love with guys even though I hate dating them. But I just realised everytime I fall in love with a guy it's always platonic. And when I always described the perfect relationships it was always platonic! Wth! I feel so relieved😀
I myself am not ace/aro but this song is really good, and every word meaningful :D i support all ace&aros!
honestly if someone tells me "you will change your mind" ONE. MORE. TIM!!!!! ill probably sit there with this face ._.
What a clever and catchy song! This song is great for ace pride, thanks for making this.. I bet loads of people are proud. :0>
I rlly needed this rn
Ive been feeling very out of place and lonely as an asexual cuz i have no ace friends so its nice to have a funny song to remind me im not alone
SO THANK U FOR BLESSING US WITH THIS OWO
"Sex is like takin a jog, some people don't like takin a jog."
This was one of the most wholesome songs I've ever seen. 🤗♠💚💜
