Privilege Denying Asexuals

melancholyhill-:

In which I expand on my asexuality after some interesting observations.

I mentioned that I got turned on by a kiss the other night and how confusing this was to me. I’m assuming myself to be asexual and here I am getting turned on, how could that be, right? I was so confused. He was making me feel things I didn’t think I could feel. Well after some more fooling around I noticed something interesting: it’s not the physicality of the act that turned me on, rather, it was the emotion I felt from it.

Rather than being turned on by the kiss itself, as in feeling his lips upon mine, it was the emotion I felt from him that prompted a reaction from me. The way he would become more passionate, the intimate look he would give me, or even just the tone of his voice when he told me how happy he was…those are the things that turned me on. When I feel the amount of emotion radiating off of him, it makes me feel good.

So that’s just an observation I made when he slept over—and I mean this in the most innocent meaning of the word—in my dorm last night. It wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve made, not in the the least, considering we both had class in the morning. Also, we didn’t get much sleep at all. He ended up missing his two classes and I ended up skipping composition again. But I think it was well worth it. Although I will not be doing that again unless there are no classes the next day.

I…

Seriously?

Are you serious?
