When I first dove into the asexual community, I was surprised to find such a welcoming place. Knowing that there are people like me is a very comforting feeling. To any and all asexuals, join a community. Joining the community is one of the most freeing things that you can experience because a lot of the time we can’t relate to everyone around us and we need to talk to someone who can understand and relate. For those just discovering their asexuality or are still questioning, or who are just curious, there are a lot of helpful resources online.
For example, the main Asexual Organization is called AVEN or the Asexual Visibility and Education Network has digital pamphlets, documentaries, aFAQ section, and many more resources for the public about asexuality.
Along with AVEN there are strong Asexual presences on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. As technology continues to be the most important tool of communication and outreach, visibility for sexual minorities like Asexuals are growing too. On Facebook, there are many places for Aces to meet each other and there are several groups for specific areas.
As well Facebook has pages like Asexual Aces, where you can ask questions and learn about events, Asexual Outreach, a non-profit that promotes creating ace communities and spreading education and acceptance of the Asexual Spectrum. There are even pages for lighthearted Asexual Related topics as well, such as Asexual Humor.
Facebook isn’t the only social media to hold Asexual related topics. Twitter has several Asexual profiles like The Asexuality Blog, which spreads different Asexual articles and discussions, and Asexual Pride, a user who spreads positive and informative messages to the Ace community. Tumblr is a huge part of the Asexual Community too, it’s a place that circulates Asexual Topics and other fun Ace Related things.
For any newly self-recognized Ace, or those who are curious or support Aces, I encourage you to check out these resources. They are extremely informative and give a lot of different perspectives on different Asexual Spectrum and Aromantic Spectrum identities. As well it creates a safe place for Aces to turn to when they are feeling alone in the world. I have been fortunate to find these resources when I did and these resources helped me accept myself and be proud of who I am. Even after I’ve come out of the deck, a term for an Asexual who has come out, these resources are still helpful and useful to me now. I hope that through these Asexual Guides, I can spread more awareness and understanding to people who are questioning, who are just curious, and those who haven’t come out yet. All of the sites and pages I have referenced are posted below to check out.
As well Asexuals are (most of the time) welcomed into LGBT Spaces and I encourage any Ace to reach out to their LGBT groups for more support as well, it's a good way to meet other people.
