When is asexual awareness week

The largest challenge we face as asexual individuals is the confusion from other people thinking that it is a choice. Statements like this can be very invalidating, and they imply that people who are asexual need to be fixed, or need to have sex. Ace Awareness Week is really important to showcase positive representation of asexual people.

We live in what we call a hyper-sexual society, and a sexual-normative one: meaning that everyone is expected to want sex, and want it often! Talking about asexuality and representing it in a positive and kind way reduces this shame and challenges the idea that everyone has to be a sexual being. It also helps asexual people to see themselves reflected in society, fostering a sense of community, and means that we have to have fewer conversations explaining ourselves all the time.

Asexuality is a sexual orientation in its own right which centers on romantic, aesthetic, spiritual, or physical intimacy, or on non-sexual friendship, rather than on sexual attraction or sexual intimacy.

Ace people may also occupy more than one identity such as being gay and aromantic, or pansexual and demisexual.
