Asexuality: Zoe's Story

When people talk about sexual orientation, they usually refer to heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. All are different types of sexual attraction. Asexuality is another type of sexual orientation. People who identify as asexual experience little to no sexual attraction to others. In this video, Zoe shares her experience with asexuality, clearing up some common misunderstandings in the process.

I'M ALSO PROUDLY ACE. I had so many similar experiences, at first I thought something was just wrong with me. Like I was "a straight person with a low libido/scared/lazy" but honestly, I just wasn't attracted to anyone. I looked online for help with it and found groups that ranged from "ah, I see, you just hate women" to "well, you're not just having sex the *right* way/picking up the *right* kind of women"... it was really confusing. Learning about asexuality has answered basically all the questions I had since puberty, and I wished I knew about it back in highschool rather than in my early 30s. Now it's just about being open about it and helping others come to understand it too. Thanks for sharing, ZOE!

Thank you Zoe for sharing. I am glad I am not alone. Many years of being asexual and I am 67. Still I am. :)

[@bonniesandy9512]

My son at 15 identified asexual. Today at 19 he is still. He is handsome.

[@kristimortensen4730]

Its perfectly fine to be asexual person. I have several friends who are like you. They went on creating their life happily and very popular with us. You are great!!!❤

[@soshimizu]

I hope to read your book! In college one deaf guy friend seem to be ace or aro, before we knew about the word since this was early 2000s and sadly was sexually harassed by women. Anyway, there are anime, mangas, webtoons about this topic, including Steven Universe but I think the best one so far is a Japanese drama called Koisenu Futari (2022) Also Known As: 恋せぬふたり. If anyone knows anymore similar to this, please comment here? Thank you for providing this resource in Deaf sign language, your teenage age is valid!

[@cemendez]

Thanks for sharing. Be brave.

[@peacelove38]

Ty for sharing this. I decided to be asexual after long history of several relationships.

Selling anything using the gospel is PURE EVIL! Malachi 2 PROVES Malachi 3:8-11 is prophetic instruction for the thieving fake ministers to return the money and God will end Covid. But all the fakes love money more than listening to God. Murderers! Mathew 19:12 🏳️‍🌈 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. 🏳️‍🌈 Eunuchs made that way by others were abused. 🏳️‍🌈 Those that choose to live like Eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex but opposite in gender. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. Anyone collecting money for ministering in any way is now blacked out from the Holy Spirit and will be until they either repent or wait too late and die. Same goes for anyone teaching same sex marriage is a sin when it is not. Male or female is determined by gender, located in the brain. I am the forerunner to the return of Jesus, who was transgender and will return as a woman. Most of the famous prophets from the Bible were transgender as well, including David and Joseph. STAY OUT OF THE FAKE CHURCHES IF YOU WANT TO LIVE. You choose to go there then you are supporting their evil and will also be held accountable... Everyone still has a gender when the kingdom of heaven touches down. If you delete or reject the messages sent from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 you reject Jesus and will automatically be blacked out from the Holy Spirit until you either repent or wait too late and die with the wicked... My destiny is to usher in Jesus! Prophets said my wedding is already paid for and will be broadcasted all over the world. I am THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. . .

I can't read what this person replied to me.

[@soshimizu]

@@peacelove38 it might be spam. Take your time :-)

[@peacelove38]

Oh. Ty! I don't need spam. 😁

[@clairee4939]

You can’t decide if you are sexual attraction but maybe you just said incorrectly because it’s a difficult subject to explain? Like how i want to explain only choose not have sex is called a different name but realised I remember how to sign it in BSL but forgot the word for it. 😖 😊

[@aslmastertutor1670]

Thank you for sharing your life story as an asexual person - I am a demi-sapio-bi-asexual deaf woman. I didn't discover asexuality until much later. I can relate to the suffering of being called horrible labels --- but "alien or robot" surprised me and so sorry those people called you that. People called me frigid black-hearted nun in the past. So glad you discovered this aspect of yourself early in life and I hope you will write your book! Cheers!

[@jaydblog]

Me same. Hugging and kissing are my things just that, not sexual. It is just grooming. Kids, animals, adults, and senior citizens.

[@aslmastertutor1670]

Is there a way to have your videos optional without open captions? Just wondered (and love your videos BTW)

[@moonsilver623]

Please activate CC subtitles in all languages, already prepared on KZbin!

[@macdaddy11]

Sweetie stop worrying what people think just go with your flow and becareful

[@zhugzug]

Would you say that someone whos ACE is like me with sports, Im a dude but find sports boring and have zero interest in it?

[@j0llyartist]

Haha yeah!

[@soshimizu]

No, sports is not related to Ace identity. There are females who are interested in sports.

[@clairee4939]

Lol no that’s stereotype 😂 but interesting idea.

[@stephennordlinger365]

If you dress sexy, don’t complain about the attention.

[@soshimizu]

Wearing sexy is not for your attention. They have rights to wear what they want.

[@darrenramsey]
