I’m doing a survey about asexuality for my honors project. it could potentially be published in a research journal, so please please take a few minutes and fill it out.
if you could complete the survey/reblog it I would be eternally grateful
it’s for anyone who currently or at some point identified as being under the ace umbrella

It depends on the partner, and the ace. I suggest y’all have conversations with each other about comfort zones, and maybe suggest trying it out first. If the person is vehemently against the idea, let the issue drop.

Go to your nearest target. Buy a two pack of pushup bras (24$ for 2), and target’s bra inserts (12$). Then go to your nearest Walmart and buy the Vasserette Control Shapewear Panties (2.50 each), they do wonders for helping your tuck. There you go! You just saved yourself a lot of money, you can afford to buy enough to wear every day, and best of all you look fabulous. -@twidx
2.50 for a girdle is a GREAT deal, gogogogo
AVEN is shaping up to have the biggest and best Pride ever. On Saturday we’ll have a full-fledged conference in Berkeley with the major leaders of the Ace Movement and a day full of workshops on everything from improving mental health services for aces to aces in popular television.
Then on Saturday, anyone who wants to will march in the parade! We’ll have art, t-shirts, flags and a great banner.
If we raise $1000 we can cover the cost of the conference and the march, including catering, t-shirts, and pride parade registration.
If we raise $2500 we can cover the conference and parade plus print out tons of stickers and pamphlets. The stickers will be for everyone at the conference and for us to hand out at the parade. The pamphlets will be for us to hand out to organizations that want to do ace visibility (we get requests for them all the time and our stock has run out.)
Anything else we raise will go to printing more materials and to covering server costs for 2013.

There is some majorly acephobic content and asexual erasure happening on http://drum-major-instinct.tumblr.com/. If you wish to avoid it, as well as a significant amount of identity policing, block
drum-major-instinct
They are tagging their posts with the asexuality tag. So if you don’t feel like being pissed off today, block!
And please remember you are not alone, and you are not broken and your sexual identity is 100% valid!!

A warning to take heed of. They’re slightly more than infuriating.
Guys, just adding something to the relationship subject, remember remember to always put yourself first if you’re in a relationship with a sexual person. A lot of them are going to say many very wrong things, often not meaning to hurt you. And if you love them, your mind is going to believe a lot of that even if you really know it’s nonsense. A few years ago I entered a relationship as a pretty confident non-repulsed ace and 3 years later ended it repulsed/terrified of sex. He still doesn’t know that what he did was mental abuse. I’m not trying to scare any of you away from such relationships, I know many of them work out wonderfully and I honestly wish you best of luck there! It’s just a little reminder to watch your step there, try to make things clear from the start in whichever way works for both of you, but please don’t ignore the subject and just hope it works out in the end, I’ve been there and I don’t want any of you going through this, okay? Again, best of luck! <3
I am excited to release a rough version of my children’s storybook on trans*gender and gender neutral kids. Since I am cisgender I would much appreciate some feedback to anything I’m doing wrong. I really want to do this right. I want this to be stepping stone book for children and parents to talk about this.
I am not asexual but I think it’s important to support the asexual community because you are part of the queer movement and deserve to be acknowledged. PLUS i think Asexuals and Bisexuals (or any non monosexual identity) should be allies cause we exemplify both sides that society shames, being “too sexually active” and being “not sexually active enough.” Both which are bullshit.
