I have a few questions on demisexuality
If you are comfortable with answering questions could you please private msg me (I am working on a part in my comic and I want to make sure I do it correctly)
Asexuality Identity and Experiences Survey - Call for Ace participants
Julia Prims, of the University Of Colorado Boulder, is conducting research into asexuality for their honors thesis:
“This study is intended to examine the cultural dismissal of asexuality and self-esteem, depression, and self-concept in asexually identified individuals. You are being asked to participate in this study because you either identify as asexual or have ties to the asexual community. You will be one of 500 people to participate in this study.
During the course of this study, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire which will ask you various questions about your identity and experiences as an asexual. If you do not identify as asexual, you will be asked to skip some questions. You will then complete three psychological surveys measuring depression, self-esteem, and self-concept. This study should take approximately 20-45 minutes.”
If you identify as asexual, demisexual, grey-a, or as anywhere on the asexual spectrum, please consider taking part in this quick and easy survey.
The plan is to publish the paper in a scientific journal and, potentially, present it at conferences.
Please complete and/or reblog to raise awareness of this project.
I was thinking it would be nice to compile a list of fictional asexual-spectrum or likely ace-spectrum characters who are female or non-binary. I am going to stress here that I am not trying to erase or leave out male aces, demis and graces, and that later I will make a more complete list of…
Signal boost!
Hi. I have submitted a motion for asexual inclusion within the NUS LGBT Campaign; and the conference is this weekend. There will be an Asexual Caucus and I could do with help handing out leaflets/talking about the campaign at conference if anyone will be there. Could you publicise this for me?
It links some instances of behavior with demisexuality.
So just to repeat:
BEHAVIOR IS NOT ATTRACTION. ATTRACTION IS NOT BEHAVIOR. DEMISEXUALITY IS NOT ABOUT BEHAVIOR. DEMISEXUALITY IS ABOUT ATTRACTION.
Just for some emphasis. Please, if you’re thinking about defining demisexuality as behavior…

Hey, anyone want to help me revise an info sheet on asexuality?
The current draft is here and will be updated as I make changes.
If anyone has any comments, criticism, things that need to be added, things that don’t seem important, please let me know!
It’s still a rough draft, so it definitely needs some work, especially in the challenges section.
Also, if you see anything problematic please don’t hesitate to call me out on it - I can take the criticism, and I really want this to be as informative and unproblematic as possible.
- People who are not part of the asexual spectrum telling those who are how to identify. Nobody should police identities, but if it’s something you are not, and especially if it is something you do not understand, I have no idea why you would think it’s okay to go into a community and tell it’s…
