That’s because the word used to describe it is relatively new. Now, you’re probably wondering why, if it’s a real sexual orientation, you’ve never heard of it before. It’s not some excuse to get out of dating. It doesn’t involve spores or splitting in two or anything like that. It’s not some conservative purity movement. It’s not some tree-hugging hippy liberal idea.
When people hear the word “asexual”, it conjures up a lot of images and ideas, and most of those are wrong.Īsexuality is not a problem that you need to solve. It’s a good idea to let go of whatever preconceptions you might have about asexuality. This guide aims to help explain what you need to know about asexuality, and what it means for you and your child. That’s understandable! This probably wasn’t a conversation you were expecting to have when you woke up this morning. You’re probably a little bit confused and a little bit concerned. You’ve probably never heard of asexuality until your child mentioned it to you. Asexuality isn’t something that needs to be “fixed” or “cured”, it’s just a part of who they are. They simply don’t experience sexual attraction. But when someone is asexual, or “ace” as it’s called, they’re not really into anyone in that way. When someone is gay, they’re into the same gender. When someone is straight, they’re interested in people of a different gender. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, like being straight or gay.
