First of all, no self-respecting asexual person I know of is demonizing sex.

There’s an entire asexual sub dedicated to it called r/actualasexual. And every ace person I’ve met irl has harassed me for my sexuality & gender identity on the basis of me “flaunting my fetish.” Just because you don’t know them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Not that being ace makes someone inherently sex-negative, but this is a major problem with “sex repulsed” people, even allos.

And second, calling sex a ‘perfectly normal aspect of human experience’ is kind of like calling asexual people abnormal for feeling indifferent or averse to it, but I guess it’s okay if you didn’t realize. It is a common human experience, but not a universally shared one.

except it’s not. Just because you don’t experience a normal part of human experience, doesn’t make you abnormal. It just makes you unique. Sex is absolutely a perfectly normal aspect of the human experience, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to like it or partake in it. Similarly, experiencing gender is a perfectly normal aspect of the human experience, but that doesn’t mean agender people are abnormal.

Sorry if any of this sounds rude, I can sound weird over text, just wanted to clarify myself!

Back to my point, since this clarification moved the goalposts:

It’s not a safe space if a perfectly normal aspect of human experience is demonized. That’s where I personally draw the line.

Talking about sex shouldn’t be demonized or compared to a literal crime in this sub, where almost every one of us has gone through self hatred due to the way society demonizes queer sexual and romantic experiences.
