About ♠️🩶💜🤍

I'm Victoria and I identify as asexual. I never knew what asexuality was but on 4/29/24 I wrote in my diary, "I started reading a new book called Ace about asexuality because I think I just figured out that I'm asexual."

What is asexuality? Asexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by a lack of sexual attraction to others.

Why did you make this blog? Asexuality is underrepresented in the media. I made this blog to help shed light on the subject, to let others know they're not alone and to share resources I found.

I experimented because that's what you're supposed to do. Was I being intrinsically true to my own self the last 20 years? No. Ace people can be sex-repulsed, sex-indifferent, or sex-positive and may still engage in sexual activities for various reasons. I'm a sex-repulsed asexual which means the whole idea freaks me out. I'd rather never have sex again and never talk about it again. Present media shoves love, marriage and childbirth down your throat. It's about time we create media that represents something other than that.

It's not a choice. It's not a phase. It's who I am.
