Ace readers, prepare to cringe. Consider this a blanket trigger warning for the rest of this post and most of the links. To my fellow ace survivors, I hope you are taking care of yourselves, and please don’t feel that you have to engage with this.

Teen Vogue published an article by Jaclyn Friedman entitled “Why Sexual Pleasure Must Be Included in #MeToo Conversations” — and of course it has the tagline, “Let’s refuse to be silenced about our sexualities, and celebrate them instead.”

Comment Rules

Comments are moderated. Please follow these rules, or your comment will be removed.

  1. No harassment, hate speech, bigotry, or intolerance of any kind. This includes intentionally spreading false information for the purpose of fomenting hate.
  2. No victim-blaming, oppression olympics, or ranking different forms of victimization. Never use someone else’s experience as a rhetorical tool to help you make a political argument.
  3. Do not offer unsolicited advice. Do not tell other people how they are feeling. Do not play armchair psychologist.
  4. Do not reveal another person’s identity or share confidential information. Do not out people. Exercise care when linking to other people’s personal blogs.
  5. Do not pose as anyone else. No sock-puppeting.
  6. No compulsory sexuality. Do not imply that having sex is a goal that everyone should strive for. Do not suggest that anyone ever owes another person sex, in any situation.
  7. No asexual elitism, and no sex-shaming. That means no suggesting that ace people are somehow “better than” non-asexuals, and also don’t say that sex is dirty or shameful. You can say that you FEEL that way, but not that it IS that way.
  8. This is not a 101-level blog. Do your own research about the topic at hand before posting. It is not my job to educate you.
  9. Do not ask me for relationship advice.

Please note that comments will close automatically after a post has been up for 90 days.
