#asexual resource

It is Ace Awareness Week so I’ve made this helpful tool that others may use if they wish. I made this to help me come out to my parents soon and i realize others could also benefit from some f this information. 

This document explains asexuality to people who may not know the term.

DISCLAIMER: this does not address aspects which may arise in certain households (including religious, conservative, etc..) 

I realize not everything important is in here this is the bare minimum for coming out in my opinion/ circumstance.

but if there are ideas here you find helpful feel free to use them in a conversation. 

ALSO: nothing wrong with not telling people yet or not telling anyone. it does not make you a coward, shameful, or invalid it simply means you don’t want to come out to people about this and that’s perfectly OKAY!

Attraction =/= action or behavior

Having a poopy day? Feeling like nobody is going to love your ass because you’re ace as fuck?

Visit hilarious asexual blogs! There are many! Like asexualfactoftheday, asexual-people-problems, asexyhumor, thehumorousace, acepositive, or my personal favourite twitter account - Ace and Aro jokes...

Or have a look at some great asexual-themed art!

Or read about some happy asexual experiences!

Or splash out and buy some merch! TREAT YOURSELF!

Or visit an asexual networking and dating site!

Or, if you’re interested in just networking and meeting up with cool ace people how about these great sites??

Or simply peruse this wonderful list of blogs and posts pertaining to asexuality and see what takes your fancy! Theasexualityblog also has a fucking ridiculous amount of resources and lists and hist handy, so go check them out and utilize them for whatever you need!
