Siimo van der fietspad Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Just don't read the facebook comments. They're disgusting. Apart from 'needs to get hormones checked' the dumb-things-willfully-ignorant-people-say-about-asexuals bingo card is complete. Link to post Share on other sites
Splatacus Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Was just about to share this. It's in the top 10 most read on the main BBC News website, which is awesome! Robin is well on his way to being a proper celebrity, reckon he'll be on breakfast TV soon :p Link to post Share on other sites
RobPal Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I just saw this on the BBC website and had to check in here to make sure it had been shared. It's great to see these things slowly becoming more frequent in mainstream media :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Littledib Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hey guys. 😊 thanks for the support (I'm Robin from the piece) 😁 I saw it as great opportunity to spread more awareness. I haven't ventured to the facebook comments yet. The YouTube ones have been giving me a laugh 😊. But the ace community has been uniting and setting people straight which is awesome. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Frigid Pink Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I like it, except for the sidebar that says "asexuals don't have sexual relationships," since some "asexual" people may have had sexual relationships in the past or may be in a "mixed" relationship now. I think it's more about the feelings behind the actions vs. the actions themselves, therefore, I think that statement needs to be re-worded to reflect that. Otherwise, great article and great visibility! Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, great article and great visibility! Yeah asexuals don't desire sexual relationships, though some do have them because some still desire companionship and if your partner is sexual, compromise can work if you're okay with having sex. But yeah it's more we don't desire sexual relationships, not that we don't have them sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
