Asexuality Survey for Large-scale Scientific Research – Participants Needed!

🔗 Take the  Questionnaire Hello everyone! 💜 I’m conducting a research project exploring asexual experiences and the many ways people experience attraction, intimacy, relationships, embodiment, spirituality, kink/BDSM, and neurodivergence .   🔗 Questionnaire: https://forms.gle/3Y93FkaXJPiwvmgJ8   The questionnaire is based on three previous theoretical papers:   Asexual Phenomenology: The Model of the Mediated Perception of One’s Own Sexuality and Compulsory Allosexual Performativity The Asexual Body: Phenomenology, Normativity, and the Ontological Decentralization of the Sexual in Contemporary Experience Post-Sexuality: Between ACE Experience, Contemporary Spirituality, Kink Dissidences of Desire, and Technological Transcendence   The study is not about determining what asexuality should look like , nor about diagnosing or categorizing anyone. It focuses on lived experience: what you actually feel, how you experience your body and relationships, how you unde...

I’m an Ace Too… Just Not the Kind You Play in Bed (Justiciera de Marte, 2026)

Surviving on a spectrum society still doesn’t know how to read I don’t know when the first asexual person appeared on the face of the Earth, and I’m not about to get archaeological about it. What I do know is when the first asexual person appeared inside me: the day I discovered that what I felt — or rather, what I didn’t feel — had a name. And that day, something fell into place. Like finally finding the exact word you’d had on the tip of your tongue for years.   Because let’s be honest: society has a very clear goal for any interaction with romantic potential, and that goal is called “the bedroom.” You’re sold the idea that sex is the ultimate validation, the deepest connection two people can achieve, the final exam of attraction. You like someone? Great, now sleep with them to find out. And honestly, that logic never made sense to me. Not because I never tried — I have, I’ve had sex — but because, once the experiment was over, the revelation never came. I never felt the cosmic...

REVIEW (Spoilers) — Mine-kun is Asexual: When a Kiss Weighs More Than Love

A short webcomic by Isaki Uta explores, with remarkable sensitivity and realism, the difficulties that can arise in relationships between allosexual and asexual people, inviting us to question amatonormativity, compulsory sexuality, and our own understanding of love.   Read for Free   There are works that impress us with the complexity of their plots, others with the depth of their characters, and others simply with the honesty with which they portray a human experience. Mine-kun is Asexual , by Isaki Uta, belongs to the last category. It is a very short webcomic, almost a sketch of ideas that the author would later develop much more extensively in Is Love the Answer? , but its simplicity does not prevent it from leaving a deep impression. Quite the opposite: precisely because it avoids lengthy explanations and chooses to show rather than theorize, it manages to portray an experience that rarely finds representation in fiction with remarkable naturalness.   The story revo...

Asexual Phenomenology: The Model of the Mediated Perception of One’s Own Sexuality and Compulsory Allosexual Performativity

A phenomenological approach to understanding how social norms shape our perception of sexuality, romance, and human relationships. Abstract   This article proposes the Model of the Mediated Perception of One’s Own Sexuality (MMPOOS) as a phenomenologically inspired analytical framework for examining the influence of cultural and normative structures on the subjective experience of sexuality, intimacy, and interpersonal bonds. Drawing upon the phenomenological tradition and the concept of epoché , it argues that sexual experience may not present itself in an immediate or neutral manner, but rather be mediated by internalized interpretive systems that condition how individuals understand what they feel. Within this context, the concept of Allosexual Performativity is introduced, understood as the set of sociocultural mechanisms that tend to presume the universality and centrality of sexual attraction, thereby generating normative pressures that may influence the self-interpretation o...
