me, an aroace: idk maybe i could see myself in a relationship they don’t look horrible
me, as soon as someone approaches me with romantic intent:
sexual attraction seems weird, like a couple days ago my drama class was watching a movie and the guy took his shirt off and loads of girls were freaking out... like yes the man has titties
Why is it that when draconic characters have snake tongues in fanart its always sexualized?? I dont wanna see someone licking their partner i wanna see them licking 10 popsicles at once!
(Looking at you, neuvillette and dan heng)
"So, who do you have a crush on?" "Oh, God no."
playing truth or dare with alloromantics is so funny because all they ever ask is “who is your crush”, “what’s your dream date”, “what’s your type” and “who in this group would you sleep with” and like
no
none of the above
I'm not gonna lie, mashing most of our holes together is kinda weird. Like- any damages caused while doing that has gotta be voiding our warranty.
Music artists made the best melody and beat known to man only to make the whole song about sex.
My (nonexistent) friends: “So are you gay or straight?”
Me an aro/ace: “…yes?”
this makes me want to try sketching another character on the other side being dragged along saying "my lawful neutral self wanting people to just leave me alone bc I don't want to hear about their partners and/or sex lives
I make sex jokes because sex is a joke to me.
‘Why do you make sex jokes if your asexual? Doenst that mean you want sex’
Bestie I can make jokes about being impaled on a spike medieval torture style, doesn’t mean I want to
My mother asked me a very interesting question:
She asked me this after she found out I am Asexual. (If we really want to get specific: Cis gender woman, who is a sex-repulsed Asexual, age 21.)
For context, my Mom is a Gen-X, Hispanic woman, raised catholic.
In my experience, labels help us know how to interact and identify eachother. What kinds of respect and social edicet must be used on a person to person basis and lets us know who might be safe to be around and out/open with.
Lets us know how to adress eachother. For example if my friend identifies as a nonbinary individual, due to this label, I know to use they/them pronouns. I’ve heard someone (IDK who) say,: “I may not respect you, but I will respect your pronouns.”
In a relationship context… (romantic specifically)
Labels allows us to inform any potential partners of what we might want or expect from a relationship. In my case the boundaries that must be set in place.
It is important to be upfont with potential partners about your identity whether it be gender or sexuality. For example, if you are polyamorous, any potential partners need clear communication as to what this relationship will entail. This opens the door for consent. (And consent is ✨Sexy✨!)
For me, I am very open about my Asexuality to all my partners. I want them to be aware of this side of me and what my needs are and they they are comfortable with dating me.
Also for someone who is aromatic, having this label takes the pressure off themselves from the outside world to seek a romantic relationship!

Tldr: “Why Gen-z uses labels?”
1. Respect
2. Community (Happy Pride everyone!!! 🏳️🌈)
3. Boundaries
4. Communication
I know Asexual Awareness week ended last week, but I needed to do last minute edits before I wanted to post this!
My main idea is to list what Asexuals can do! When most people think of aces they think of what we can’t do, which makes sense, the label literally means no-sex.
This was posted in the news paper I work with.... but there was a grammar mistake. And no one caught it because they pushed it to be printed so fast! Instead of saying “...Are part of the LGBTQIA.” It was printed as “are APART of the LGBTQIA.” Which means exactly the opposite from I meant! I didn’t even notice it till it had been in the paper for 2 days and my friend pointed it out! And goodness I was mortified! But now I just thinks its pretty funny!
Here are the drawings on a larger scale! I hope you enjoy!
ASEXUALS....
I actually snuck in a drawing of my boyfriend and I!
Better view of my profile pic!
Happy last day of pride month!!😘🏳️🌈
Oh and I can't forget happy Aro day to my fellow A-Spec buddies! 🥰🖤🤍💚
I’m Podado-T!
This is my first post on my tumblr! If you can’t tell by my picture and page, I’m Asexual. Heteroromantic to be exact.
Sex-drives have always been a mystery to me. Like, “people often get sudden urges to have sex?” (confused ace noises).
A catchphrase I like to use when talking about sex is: “I’ll never understand horney people.” And at this rate I probably never will. But I’m perfectly ok with that!
I hope you enjoy my art!
But more importantly: Happy pride month everyone!
