Asexual Spec Furries ♠️ (@asexualfurries)

Hi I’m Luke. I’m writing a book about #asexuality and I’ve been in charge of the r/asexuality subreddit for over 5 years. (One of the nice corners of that site I promise!)

Outside of that hobbies include:

- reading (non-fiction mostly)
- playing piano
- programming and Linux
- having a day job

How can an asexual, someone who doesn’t experience attraction to other people possibly enjoy sex? The same way you can enjoy the feeling of sensual stimulation without experiencing sexual attraction. Or: Similar to the way someone who is not romantically attracted can enjoy sex.

Just how sexuality doesn’t necessarily correlate with attitude towards sex in other sexualities, it is the same concept for asexuality. IE: someone who is homosexual but sex averse

If you ever see terminology such as “sex neutral asexual” “sex favorable asexual” and “sex averse/ repulsed (sometimes called apothisexual)” this person is trying to tell you both sexuality (not attracted to other people) AND their attitude towards sex.

Some asexuals are repulsed by sex. Other asexuals are indifferent about sex (don’t seek it out but might indulge with a partner). Other asexuals enjoy sex.
Asexuality is defined by a lack of attraction to other people, not necessarily their view on sex. Never assume, always ask!
