#tavqotd #nsfw Polycule Sex Drive

Halla is probably the highest all round, but I wouldn't say that Gilnor lags behind her by much. He's greysexual, but once he's in love his sex drive is very much ON and active regularly.

I HC Astarion as lowest, but when the other two have each other to keep-

(1/3) As a #nonbinary / #agender #greysexual #leftist #green #introvert #zen-christian adult who plays with #dolls and #legos and who liked to be a #wolf as a child, it’s no wonder that I've always felt that no one really understands me, and that I'm pretty much alone (internally) in this world.

Yo it's Asexuality Awareness Weeeeeek

Hello from your neighborhood Aceflux girlie

Asexuality is a huge spectrum and I'm an uncontrollable gremlin who can't pick a lane. I fluctuate between asexual, greysexual, and demisexual! But I'm always a sex positive person 👍

Puppybug is brown and cream in color and has six legs, hair covering their eyes, green antennae, and a tail resembling an insect's abdomen. They are running, and the flag in their mouth forms an arc like a rainbow.

Oh Joy Sex Toy

@ohjoysextoy.bsky.social

2/2 This comic by @sparklemaia.bsky.social hits the venn diagram sweet spot of our readers' overlapping interests: tea, cats, and sexuality deep dives!
www.ohjoysextoy.com/ace-101-spar...

IMAGE: Maia gestures in front of a wall of tea containers, each labeled different asexual statuses. Some labels include: aceflux, demi, reciprosexual, greysexual, cupiosexual, lithosexual, fictosexual, aegosexual, fraysexual.

Maia: There are millions of ways to be ace! We can use increasingly spevific microlabels to try to put words to our experiences, but the truth is: identity is dynamic and fluid and messy, and language is always evolving.

Friend: But... but... then what's the point?!

Maia: Having a word for yourself is empowering! When I finally discovered the word asexual, it was such a huge relief! It gave depth and context to my sexuality, and connected me to a whole community of people like me, people who get me and celebrate this part of my identity. Being ace is something I LOVE about myself. It's powerful and joyful and freeing. I love it so much, I wanna just- (Maia points at their baseball cap with the Ace flag on it) -wear it on my forehead.

@hypnocutie.bsky.social

Greysexual is on the ace spectrum, meaning I have limited sexual attraction.

For some, myself included, that could mean we enjoy doing sexual and kinky things, but aren't into actual sex (penetration and oral) and thus engage in other options as their own form of sex

For me, hypnosis is sex

ACE WEEK October 24th - 30th 2021

SEXUAL ORIENTATION SCALE*
Asexual: Attraction isn't experienced to any gender
Grey & Demi: Limited/partial/specific attraction is experienced
Asexual and Grey & Demi together form the ACE SPECTRUM
Heterosexual: Attraction to a different gender/gender alignment
Homosexual: Attraction to the same gender/gender-alignment
Bisexual: Attraction to multiple genders (includes attraction from many, to all)
Polysexual: Attraction to many genders (but specifically not all)
Omnisexual: Attraction to any gender (specifically with preference)
Pansexual: Attraction to any gender (without preference)

*Scale increases from least quantity, to most quantity of genders that attraction is experienced to. It does NOT represent a scale of Orientation validity.

The placement of bisexual is not meant to imply that attraction is limited (merely that it can include attraction to few genders, up to the same point as pansexual; any gender).

@victoriabarronart

April 6th
INTERNATIONAL ASEXUAL DAY

THE ACE SPECTRUM

Asexual: No sexual attraction is experienced. Flag used for this identity and to represent ace umbrella.
Demisexual: May experience sexual attraction, only once a deep emotional bond occurs.
Greysexual: Experiences sexual attraction rarely, and/or weakly, and/or ambiguously.

SOME MORE ACE IDENTITIES:
Aceflux: An orientation which fluctuates across the ace spectrum.

Caedsexual: Previously allosexual, now asexual due to past trauma.
Fraysexual: Opposite of Demi. Attraction dissipates once a bond occurs.
Aegosexual: A disconnection is felt towards the subject of arousal.
Autosexual: Sexual attraction is primarily/exclusively felt towards one's self.

Every identity has its flag illustrated next to it.

ACE WEEK October 24th - 30th 2021

SOME ACE IDENTITIES:

Bellusexual, Cupiosexual, Aceflux, Acespike, Fraysexual, Lithosexual, Greysexual, Demisexual, Aegosexual, Apothisexual, Fictosexual, Quoisexual, Asexual, Reciprosexual, Autosexual

All identities have their flag illustrated next to them.

ACE AWARENESS WEEK OCT 25-31

What does 'ace' mean?
Acw, is a term shortened for the word asexual.

What is the definition of asexual?
Asexuality is a sexual orientation. It is defined by little or no, sexual attraction to any gender. Like all sexual orientations (gay, bi, pan etc.) it's not something the person chooses; it is simply who they are.

Many people confuse libido with sexual attraction, but they are not the same thing. A person's orientation is not defined by their libido, but by what gender they are - or, are not - sexually attracted to. Attraction is an emotion-based motivation with a specific direction, whereas libido is physical, and has no specific direction.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION SCALE
Asexual: Sexual attraction to no gender
Heterosexual: Sexual/Romantic attraction to the opposite gender
Homosexual: Sexual/Romantic attraction to the same gender
Bisexual or Polysexual: Sexual/Romantic attraction to multiple genders
Omnisexual or Pansexual: Sexual/Romantic attraction to all the genders

@victoriabarronart

ACE AWARENESS WEEK OCT 25-31

Picture of the asexual flag

What does the flag represent?
The asexual flag compromises of four stripes: black for asexuality, grey for greysexuals and demisexuals, white for sexuality and purple for community. It is used to represent the entire spectrum of ace identities.

What is the asexual spectrum?
The asexual spectrum is a broad range of specific identities (each with their own flags) used within the asexual classification. Below are the most notable three:

ASEXUAL SPECTRUM
Bothsided arrow, from left to right: Asexual, Demisexual and Greysexual

Asexual: No sexual attraction is experienced at all. Used as an umbrella teem and as a separate identity
(flag as described above)

Demisexual: May experience sexual attraction, but only once a deep, emotional bond occurs
(flag: black triangle pointing from the left to the right same as in the progress pride flag, small purple stripe in the middle, big white stripe on the top and big grey stripe on the bottom)

Greysexual: Experiences sexual attraction rarely, and/or so weakly there's no desire to act upon it
(flag: 5 even stripes; purple on top and bottom, then grey below/on top and a white stripe in the middle)

@victoriabarronart

ACE AWARENESS WEEK OCT 25-31

Can aces feel any attraction?
Yes! Aces may feel a multitude of attractions outside of sexual attraction, including:

ROMANTIC ATTRACTION:
A desire for a typically romantic relationship with a person.

EMOTIONAL ATTRACTION:
An attraction or connection to the inner-self/personality of someone.

AESTHETIC ATTRACTION:
Where a person finds someone's general appearance pleasing.

PHSYICAL ATTRACTION:
Where a person finds someone's physique pleasing.

SENSUAL ATTRACTION:
A desire for (non sexual) physical touch/contact for a sense of comfort, bonding or pleasure (e.g. kissing, hugs, cuddling,. massage).

@victoriabarronart

ACE AWARENESS WEEK OCT 25-31

Are there any ace symbols?
The ace community have a variety of items to represent their orientation. For example:

BLACK RING!
An official symbol is a black ring worn on a person's middle finger of their right hand. It's worn as a sign to other aces, and as a way to feel connected to the ace community.

CAKE & GARLIC BREAD!
Cake and garlic bread became items used in many ace memes; usually implying food is better than sex. It's also common online to offer virtual cake (emojis or images) as a welcome for members in ace communities.

PURPLE!
Although black is the color which represents asexuality on the flag, purple (representing community) is primarily used as THE colour to show your ace-ness!

ACE OF SPADES!
Ace playing cards, simply due to the name.

DRAGONS & AXOLOTLS!
Lesser known, are the unofficial mascots some aces have adopted. Axolotls, because they are unusual, and dragons because they are mythical ... a kind of inside joke, since this is how some people see aces. Plus, they're awesome!
