Disclaimer: Just because someone is Asexual, doesn't mean they're deppressed

[AndiLang]

I kept being told that I'm "missing out" and that I "can't know unless I try". I've never tried heroin either, I'm still not gonna do it just to make sure I'm not into it, Alice.

[bellajenkins]

That black lady is stunning she’s like a Disney princess

[dcardoso]

Finding out about asexuality was literally life saving.

[Priimess]

I would have loved to see some male asexual representation in the video. It is so much more stigmatized for men to be hypersexual, that I think showing that men can be asexual too may have been beneficial. Either way it was a great video that framed asexuality well 🥰.

[dakotac]

I had no idea how in depth Asexuality was. The black lady is gorgeous.

[spencerjonesvo]

This is so fascinating for those of us who aren't Asexual.

⚠️DAILY REMINDER⚠️
You are not broken. You're not missing anything, you have everything everyone else has but in a different way/variation. It makes you a whole. Perfect.

[WutsHerName]

Literally discovered what a demisexual is, and honestly everything makes more sense to me now.

[supersempai]

i’m tearing up y’all- never seen asexuals in happy loving relationships before.... genuinely figured i was going to die alone because no one would want to tolerate a broken partner, but like 🥺🥺🥺🥺 y’all given me hope

[KaitlynSallee]

This makes me have way more clarity on my sexuality and im literally crying now (of happiness)

[infiniteoctopaw]

Here was how I explained the “you just haven’t met the right person yet” to my mom.

Me: “Do you want to lick a cactus?”
Mom: “No? Why would I do that?
Me: “IDK, theirs a lot of cacti’s out in the world. Maybe you haven’t seen the right one.”

After that my mom completely got it. Hope this can help!!!

❤️ "Because your asexual doesn't mean you don't have sexuality"...that hit, there is such a large spectrum, everyone on it is valid

[avakulick]

They way she described seeing the world in black and white and then someone walking by and there in full color is exactly how I would describe my aesthetic attraction to people

[BritneyAlea]

This is so interesting to me, there's so many layers to asexuality 😩.

[ladyicondraco]

So glad that they included someone who is Aro!

[Petalouda]

My go-to response for when someone says “how do you know don’t like it if you’ve never tried it”: well, I’ve never been stabbed before but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t enjoy that either

[tootooloo]

“Me being the thirst trap that I am.” ICONIC

[mohammadzaid]

I didn't even knew there were so my sexualities. It's so beautiful how all of these have found something that works from them .

[mmichaelw]

I am in the process as a 54 yr old of letting myself be who I really am. It is difficult being brought up old fashioned. I am really confused but don't want lie to myself anymore since who I am isn't the stereotypes of yesteryear. So confused.
