International Asexuality Day 🖤🤍💜

International Asexuality Day (IAD) will take place on April 6th. IAD is a coordinated worldwide campaign promoting the ace umbrella, including demisexual, grey-asexual and other ace identities.

It’s important to remember that asexuality is an umbrella term, and exists on a spectrum. Asexual people – also known as “Ace” or “Aces” – may have little interest in having sex, even though most desire emotionally intimate relationships.

Within the ace community there are many ways for people to identify. Here are just a few common terms to explore:

Demisexual: People who only experience sexual attraction once they form a strong emotional connection with another person.

Grey-A: People who identify somewhere between sexual and asexual. This can mean that their sexual attraction and desire for sexual relationships may change over a period of time, fluctuating between the two.  

Queerplatonic: People who experience a type of non-romantic relationship where there is an intense emotional connection that goes beyond a traditional friendship.

REMINDER THAT ASEXUALITY IS VALID AND YOU SHOULD NEVER FEEL PRESSURED BY A PARTNER TO HAVE A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP
