Aro, Ace and the Ace day.


Recommended Posts

Hii guys, hugs to everyone.. Well I just want some clarifying in this topics. Since I discover my asexuality, last year, I always seen the "aro" term linked with the "ace" term, but I've seen too that many people treat this matter like two different things. And about the Ace Day, I saw that was in May 8, but was changed to no conflict with trans day of visibility. So If someone could explain in more details for me the differences and etc, i'll be thankful.

Aromantic is the counterpart of asexual. Asexual is to lack of sexual attraction or desire for partnered sex. Aromantic is to lack of romantic attraction. An asexual can be romantic and a (intentional space) sexual can be aromantic.

Aromantic and Asexual are actually two different, separate, things.

Aromantic refers to a lack of romantic inclinations, anything from being just not interested in romance for yourself to being downright repulsed while asexual is as it says on the tin. Not every asexual identifies as aro, a lot of folks fall within the het-homo-bi-pan-etc. romantic ranges as well and I see you ID as Lith as well as demi and biromantic. It's also possible to be an aromantic sexual person too, since the romantic spectrum is separate from the sexual spectrum.
