Fact: Everyone who ‘works with dragons’ in the Harry Potter universe is asexual – Newt, Charlie, Luna it’s a pattern
Headcanon: It’s a common thing among wizards that those with little to no interest in sex seem to have a talent for dealing dragons and other magical creatures. So much so that it eventually turns into a euphemism.
“Hello darling! My, how you’ve grown. I dare say you’ll settle down and have a family of your own soon?”
“I don’t think so, auntie Beryl. I work with dragons, you see.”
“What is sexual attraction? What does sexual attraction feel like?” Phrases like these show up often in the list of search terms that lead people to this blog, and while I think my usual readers a…
this article was SOOO helpful to me in figuring out my asexuality so I’m just gonna leave it here for anyone who may be unsure 🙂
stop fucking using allosexual/alloromantic. allosexuel(le) is the french quebecois umbrella term for “queer/gay, and alloromantic stems from that. just call people romantic/sexual or non-ace/non-aro.
it’s not fucking cool for those of us who are gay and french thanks :^)
As an add-on, the reason these terms are so important to the Quebecois community is the necessity for French terminology to be used in order to be taken seriously in the province, so using these terms takes away a necessary tool for the LGBTTQIA+ community in Quebec
Being ace, I did not know this, and use the term allosexual every once in a while. Here is a good reason to just say “sexual” or “romantic.” Let’s not take away this term.

Did not know this! I will keep this in mind moving forward! Thank you for explaining this. My only concern is that using the term “sexual” to refer to someone who isn’t asexual is a bit off? Like, you can be any sexual orientation and be sex repulsed or celibate or just not interested in sex? So calling someone like that sexual is also misleading and unhelpful? It’s just a pretty loaded word, I feel. I know it’s pretty difficult dealing with terminology and labels when there’s so many sexualities in the umbrella, but yeah… If anyone wants to chat about this, I’d love to, but for now I’m gonna suggest the use of zsexual for people who don’t identify as asexual? (Please let me know if that’s shitty too)
FUN FACT: it seems like more and more people are coming out as asexual because we finally feel safe enough to do so, it is not a fad, it is not a trend, and if you think it is one of those things please hop on the shut-the-fuck-up train to don’t-fucking-speak-to-me-ville.
Holy shit, it’s been put into words.

Also, people are coming out as asexual because we finally know that this is a thing that exists. We are reading things on the internet and thinking, “Oh, this sounds like me,” and, “There are other people who feel like this?” and, “Maybe I’m not broken after all.”
I wasn’t aware asexuality even existed until a couple of years ago. I mentioned asexuality to a coworker maybe a month ago and her reaction was astonished joy and, “That sounds like me!” I spoke to a woman in her fifties who said, “I always just assumed I was broken.”
People are coming out as asexual because they’ve learned that asexuality exists.
I did know about asexuals, but the only examples I ever got were of characters like Sherlock Holmes who were cold and robotic and ambiguous.
I assumed that because I have no problem with having sex, that I wasn’t Asexual. It was only once I saw actual people who identified as Asexuals (who were human and showed a variety to asexuality that I’d never seen) that I could begin to see myself in that description.
So now I can say loud and proudly that I am Asexual! I am Aromantic! And I am a human being and not a damn fad!
