QAC 19 – Asexuality: An FAQ
in honor of Asexual Awareness Week (Oct. 20th – 26th, 2013) i decided to attempt to make a video to help raise awareness about asexuality. the FAQ includes: @00:56 – what is asexuality? @01:12 – isn’t that celibacy? @01:42 – maybe you should get your hormones checked? @02:38 – isn’t asexuality unnatural? @04:27 – so if you’re asexual you’re a virgin/never want sex? @05:49 – how can you know if you’ve never had sex?@06:57 – do asexuals masturbate? @07:46 – i have a low/high sex drive. could i still be asexual? @09:04 – do asexuals never fall in love? @09:51 – what are other types of attraction? @11:38 – what if someone rarely experiences sexual attraction or only experiences it under certain circumstances? @12:45 – where can i find out more? please note that the content of this video is just MY personal answer to various questions and i most…
QAC 18 – Queer: More Than Sexuality & Gender Identity?
many people use the word “queer” to describe or label their identity in regards to their sexuality and/or their gender. it’s a word that references the heteronormativity within society and expresses the fact that one identifies as being outside of or beyond such normativity… but is the word queer strictly limited to that? i have a feeling that this topic may bring about very strong opinions in some people… please be gentle! i’m genuinely curious. …better late than never? ;(
QAC 11 – Growing Up Ace (Asexual)
as a followup to QAC 02 – The Road to Asexuality, this video “briefly” covers my childhood and what brought me to questioning whether or not i was asexual in the first place. it should probably be noted that i am what some aces call a “non-libidoist” asexual. that is, in addition to being asexual (ie. not experiencing sexual attraction), i also happen to not experience a libido/sex drive. not having a libido/sex drive should NOT be confused with asexuality , which is simply a lack of sexual attraction. some asexuals do experience an active sex drive/libido, while others do not. either way, my lack of libido/sex drive is just something that happened alongside my asexuality; it isn’t what makes me asexual……
AskAPan Week 06 – “Genderblind”ness (+DOMA comments)
my (humble) opinion on many pansexual’s and panromantic’s use of the term “genderblind” and why such a term is highly problematic, plus brief comments re: DOMA.
QAC 03 – Romantic Orientations & Other Types of Attraction
in this video i try to explain how there are several types of attraction, including romantic, sensual, aesthetic and sexual attraction. i also go on to explain that there are also romantic orientations in addition to sexual orientations and how these two orientations do not always match each other. i am certainly no expert on this topic, but i feel that this topic is not discussed enough, so i made this video with the hope of furthering awareness and discussion about the matter. i apologize if i have confused for offended anyone. re: the “Orientations” image used in this video, see here. feedback and comments are welcome. hope i explained things clearly/correctly enough. ;(
QAC 02 – The Road to Asexuality
in this video i talk about how i personally came to identify as an asexual. i apologize for the length, but there was a lot to fit in! a ton of things went unsaid in this video, including the feelings, experiences and everything else that went into me looking into asexuality in the first place, but hopefully i’ve included enough of my story here for you to get the gist of why it took me so long to identify as asexual. “blehblehblehbleh”, ie. how i came to identify as asexual.
