Lord of the nerds Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 First of all, I understand that some Aces are repulsed by sexual content, whereas others are more indifferent, and others are "sex-positive". What are some of the other entities in this area (unsure what to call it)? However, what would you call someone who doesn't care who is attracted to who (I.e. Accepting of LGBT+, interracial couples, whatever), and doesn't mind talking about their support of these groups, but also tends to feel a little uncomfortable in conversations in which actual spoken sexual content referenced (on talked about on TV for that matter)? I realize many people on this site are trying to reduce label usage, and above all, I am human, but I still find labels as a useful tool to help describe something and enhance clarity... That's okay, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Busrider Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 "queer prude"? - to stick with conventional terms. But I'm not the wildest label generator. Link to post Share on other sites
WinterWanderer Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Labels can be a good thing :) They've helped me learn more about myself. I feel the same way you do, but I don't know that there are any specific labels for it. You could say that you're sex-positive but sex-repulsed. (You don't mind sex in general, and think it is a good thing for other people, but feel uncomfortable with it yourself.) Link to post Share on other sites
Custos Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I think as long as labels remain true to their meaning and aren't used in a negative way they can be really useful and even help build communities. I would perhaps consider you sex-indifferent? Although due to the fact you're still uncomfortable around it, it leans toward sex-repulsed, like the post above says, I think it's a very personal thing and that even though you don't like it, you're happy for others to enjoy it, there probably isn't a very specific label ahaha.

deltaX Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Sex-positive can mean that you are accepting of other people expressinvtheir sexuality in whatever way they feel comfortable, and doesn't nessecarily mean you have to have a positive view of sex for yourself. I feel similar to you, and when I feel the need to put a label on it, I call myself either sex-positive but sex-repulsed or sex-positive but sex-averse. I'm not sure if you'll feel like those terms are a good fit for you, but I hope that helps! Link to post Share on other sites
