Great, now I'm gonna go question my sexuality again after this video. See you soon ;).

[@best_of_ant]

@flayre on insta Well it's complicated, but I think for the most part i know what I am atm. It's one of those things where the thoughts of it will keep coming back and confusing you more, but even then you're not obligated to label yourself at all. For now I'm pretty chill where I'm at. What about you? Would love to hear what you have to say. Though don't feel pressured to reply, I got a bit curious that's it, hope you have a nice day (◍•ᴗ•◍) .

Wait that’s so wholesome

[@best_of_ant]

So for a long time, once I found the ace spectrum I thought I fell somewhat between grey and demi, but recently I found out there's way more than just the ones I listed (before you made this video). That ended up confusing me more and again went on a tangent what I am anymore. For me personally, who grew up exposed to the sexual media while still young (my curiosity got the better of me), I still feel like I fall somewhere in the middle (even after quite exposure to said material). I wouldn't say i dispise the idea of more adult oriented media, but I also don't feel like interacting with said thing or experience frequently, y'know? I know I'm still young to think of such things but hey we're still human one way or another, right? There's plenty of time to figure it out, and even when we don't have the right answer, it's alright! Also, all the flags are so pretty I can't 🥺🥺 !!!

[@jasminaj3682]

I'm deffo somewhere on the ace spectrum and I really appreciate you spreading awareness and educating others about our community.

[@mashoonsala]

Acespike... Definitely new to me, but really interesting! Now that I'm quite sure to be in the asexual spectrum, I think I'll continue to question my sexuality to understand it even better :) Your videos are really helpful and made me even more proud to see myself in this spectrum! :) 💖

[@isaacw1689]

That was thorough and concise, I think your video makes this topic infinitely more accessible to people who may not fully understand it, I hope it helps a lot of people who are still questioning.

[@oliviacogswell6702]

I'm new to this channel, and I already feel so warm and fuzzy inside! Covid sucks, but I wanna give a big ol' platonic hug for helping me figure everything out.

[@lynnsaga1397]

Awwwe thank you!!! I definitely try to keep this channel as positive as I can☺️

[@mielodie]

it feels so nice to see another demisexual person on youtube :') (who also educates people!!) it makes me so happy you are out here doing this. thank you!

[@alana7995]

I really want to be here for this but I can't listen to it cus I'm awake when I'm supposed to be sleeping

[@SoIveBeenToad]

Thank you so much for this video, it's really nice to see more awareness for the spectrum as a whole! I think a topic that might work well for a video is sexual arousal vs sexual attraction since that can be a bit confusing to navigate for asexuals (myself included). I can't wait to see what videos you make in the future!

[@lynnsaga1397]

I will put it in my list of video ideas!

[@NicanTlacaWarrior1]

Ace and proud

[@Toni-lo9ms]

I learned something new about myself. I've only experienced actual sexual attraction to one person, though I did crush on a couple of others without a physical component and the actual sexual attraction came only after a deep emotional bond. I think I must be demi because when those floodgates opened it was like literally nothing I'd ever felt before. I was literally dating her for two weeks before I realized we were dating and full physical attraction wasn't for a couple of weeks after that. We're married now and have been nearly 30 years by the way.

[@Animus5134]

I didn't realize that I was on the aroace spectrum until very recently. I can now say that I'm demi-lithosexual/romantic. Feels so good to finally know who I am. 😊

[@wearerobinhood01]

that was very educational and i apricate you for doing these video's

[@Reree-gz5bg]

I love your videos. 5 is the perfect amount. I feel very informed! & I swear either I can sit through an hour long video or barely sit through 5 min videos

[@Peoplecallmedasha]

Thank you so much! I've been struggling with my sexuality for a while and your channel really made a difference in my life.

[@emmab4587]

this video wouldve been so helpful about a year ago when i was just scrolling through the asexual wiki pages for hours. im glad it exists now though

[@sourdough4534]

The cat not liking it hurts my heart TwT

[@Arakhor]

That is certainly more places on the spectrum than I was expecting, but people do love labelling themselves and others! :)

[@Avery3verlasting]

This video was amazing Lynn!!!! You represent us very well! 💪🏽

[@GhostInTraining]

i just found your channel, i absolutely adore you, and i wanna thank you for making this video, it helped me validate how i felt 💜💜💜

[@sunshinelavender5889]

Hi Lynn. I am a new subbie and I am so grateful I found your videos. I have very recently discovered I am asexual (greysexual) so I feel much better knowing I am not alone.

[@bloodwolf9605]

Amazing video! I'm a new ace and this video kinda helped me. Also great work!

[@RoxanneMarius]

Trying to figure out where I'm at right now. Roughly a year ago I experienced sexual attraction for a person, and that attraction had lasted a few years. Add on that was the first time I had ever felt that way and I'm turning 30 this year. I'm pretty lost, but the attraction only was for this one person, so maybe demi?

[@elimiles4702]

You are special. You are loved. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

[@jonawakens]

Just wondering if you could do a video going more into demisexual and demiromantic please?

[@user-xq4mp5dm9f]

Thanks for explaining ❤

[@d34thw4tch3]

thanks to you i found out who i really am , i am asexual!!!!!!!!!!

[@cassandramuller7337]

I don't know how to ask this question but: What about "imaginery people"? Can you be attracted to someone you completely make up? Because I feel a deep revulsion against being with someone I'm not in a relationship with. A deep relationship. But I can get off of my own imagination (I'm into kink but have nevef found a partner so my imagination is all I've got). Obviously that person is part of my imagination so I "know them" intimately... I'm really confused. Your description of demisexuality really speaks to me but I don't know if it completely fits. But... just the thought of a "one night stand" really weirds me out. Like "ugh no!" territory. At the same time I've been in love and felt attraction but never really without there being feelings on my part involved. I never thought about this before. Can you just be somewhere in between and have tendencies towards something? I don't know... I'm confused and don't want to offend anybody with my questions.

[@elizabethallen7193]

I don't think you're offending anybody by asking questions. While I'm not an expert on asexuality, I can try to offer what I think. The thing you said about being able to get off by an imagined person makes me remember the terms "aegosexual", which was previously known as "autochorissexual". People who identify as thus can get off to imagined scenarios. There's a lot more options under why you might identify as aegosexual, so I definitely recommend checking out the LGBTA Wiki's article on aegosexuals, and also the article on Asexuals Wikia for autochorissexual. I've been trying to figure out if there is a more definitive way to define my own asexuality, and I've been considering this term personally. Obviously this term may not define you, but I hope this helped. ^-^ Good luck on your own journey in identifying who you are! Articles mentioned: lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Aegosexual asexuals.fandom.com/wiki/Autochorissexual

[@GiuC39]

well... I've been watching this sort of videos lately and I'm sure now that I'm in this spectrum - I really thought that I had some psychological problem just because I'm a hugger but I don't like touching, I can feel some heterosexual attraction but I feel like a no-no about having sex and yet I can think about having a romantic relationship just to not be alone in the future, but still I'm perfectly okay being all by myself and my friends (even though I once thought it was a little selfish ya know...not having kids and so on)... I guess I'll keep on living now...

[@dragonlia7958]

Your helping me so much ;-;

[@fusisnotapunkrocker]

Im like all of them at the same time.

[@delusionoid]

I'm an omniromantic asexual and I'm confused on the flag for it, there's so many varients of these flags I don't know what to use. I'm also confused on the label, can I just be labeled as "Omniromantic" or is that different than "Omniromantic Asexual"?

[@raleo7466]

Okay lithosexuality may explain my situation tbh. I do feel horniness but in a hypothetical setting, when it's time to do the deed my body feels forced. I also have truly felt in love once and with a very close friend but with my trust issues I don't know if it's because of psychologic trauma or demihomorromanticism

[@d34thw4tch3]

you are very pretty

[@Beez25]

I am still confused on what I am. Oof

[@darksean6496]

Thanks for the info because i’m getting confuse what assexual is? Because in my country asexual means no attraction to people

[@boodoo1644]

Would it be considered on the Asexual spectrum if you have had only hetrosexual relationships previously, but then realised you do not enjoy the sexual part, but love the romantic parts, cuddling etc.. and the companionship? (Basically, a Hetrosexual with no libido)

[@anvithequarsonist]

Yep! They’re called hetero aces, or heteroromantic asexuals :)

[@mcspudster5289]

😃

[@belcarreiroo]

Ok i’m new here and i’m trying to understand myself… what if I know im ace but not sure which “category” I fit in? Can I still define myself ace even tho i’m confused between grey and demi?

[@nesser52]

Ayee fella aces where are you at

[@alexgreen8651]

Hey I just wanted to say if you are ace but still trying to figure out your specific ace identity (like me) then you can use ageonosexual or not if u dont want to (may be spelt wrong, have only heard it said) idk I dont feel connected to it but I wanted to put it out there just incase someone needs this :)

[@alexgreen8651]

Also if yr confused on specific identity u are still valid and can def call yourself asexual wow thanks for reading this have a nice day :))
