Understanding Asexuality:  

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ASEXUAL?
(ALSO KNOWN AS "ACE" OR "ACES")
There are many different types of attraction including romantic, aesthetic and sexual. Asexuality refers to someone who experiences very little or no sexual attraction to people of any gender.

ACE INDIVIDUALS CAN STILL FEEL...

ROMANTIC ATTRACTION
Desire for a typically romantic relationship with another person

EMOTIONAL ATTRACTION
Wanting an emotional connection with another person

AESTHETIC ATTRACTION
Attraction to someone based on their general appearance

SENSUAL ATTRACTION
Wanting to touch, hold, or cuddle
someone

PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
Where a person finds another person's physique pleasing

PLATONIC ATTRACTION
Wanting to be friends with another personAn infographic created by @BRIANNAVIEIRA & @THEQTHERAPIST for #ACEAWARENESSWEEK in asexual flag colors black, white, gray, and purple

Understanding Asexuality: 

ASEXUALITY, LIKE ANY IDENTITY, IS COMPLEX.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS ASEXUAL IDENTITIES WITHIN ASEXUALITY INCLUDING:

ASEXUAL SPECTRUM

ASEXUAL
No sexual attraction is experienced at all.
Used as an umbrella term and used as a separate identity

DEMISEXUAL
May experience sexual attraction, but only once a deep, emotional bond occurs

GREY SEXUAL
Feels weak sexual attraction and/or attraction so rarely there's no desire to act on itAn infographic created by @BRIANNAVIEIRA & @THEQTHERAPIST for #ACEAWARENESSWEEK in asexual flag colors black, white, gray, and purple

Understanding Asexuality: 

WAYS TO BE AN ALLY TO ASEXUAL FOLKS

EDUCATE YOURSELF ON ACE IDENTITIES

IF SOMEONE COMES OUT TO YOU AS ACE, BELIEVE THEM

PROVIDE SUPPORT + VALIDATION

CELEBRATE +AFFIRM THEIR IDENTITY

RESPECT THEIR RELATIONSHIPS

CALL OUT ACE-ERASURE + ACEPHOBIA
WHERE YOU SEE IT

EDUCATE OTHERS

DON'T ASK INTRUSIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
SOMEONE'S SEX LIFE

DON'T ASSUME EVERYONE NEEDS SEX OR ROMANCE TO BE HAPPY

TOGETHER WE CAN EVOLVE THE MEANING OF RELATIONSHIPS + HELP TO REDUCE THE STIGMA SURROUNDING ASEXUALITY.An infographic created by @BRIANNAVIEIRA & @THEQTHERAPIST for #ACEAWARENESSWEEK in asexual flag colors black, white, gray, and purple

Understanding Asexuality:

ASEXUALITY SITS AT THE INTERSECTION OF MANY OTHER LGBTQIA IDENTITIES WHICH MEANS SOMEONE WHO IS ASEXUAL CAN ALSO BE...

HETEROROMANTIC
Romantic attraction to people of another gender.

PANROMANTIC
Romantic attraction towards people of all genders/regardless of gender.

BIROMANTIC
Romantic attraction towards men + women.

HOMOROMANTIC
Romantic attraction towards people of the same gender.

AROMANTIC
One who does not experience romantic attraction to people of any gender.

PLUS MANY MORE!
