As an ace fic writer who often writes about characters I see as being ace-spec, and sometimes write smut about them... eh. I can see why some people want stories where characters are openly ace and don't have sex! But sometimes I WANT the negotiation because to me it's comforting for the character in question to be able to verbalize 'I am okay with X sexual activity some of the time but I don't feel sexual attraction the way you do, if I don't always want sex it's not a rejection of you' and have their partner be cool about it!

I also like writing characters who maybe DON'T have the language to call themselves asexual or demisexual or so on and so forth, who either have had sexual experiences that they found underwhelming or upsetting even if they chose to have them, or who have been made to feel bad about NOT having had sexual experiences by their current age, finding a partner who might not know what that experience is like, but who is supportive about it! I like writing characters who are maybe discovering that they're demi as they feel sexual attraction for the first time and now this experience makes them realize that they aren't allosexual BECAUSE they thought everyone talked about sex/horniness as a joke but no one really FELT it, and now that they are feeling it for the first time they know what people are talking about but also they know that this feeling isn't their own norm! I like ace characters who enjoy sex not because they feel any drive for it, but because it allows them a way of connecting to a partner, or because an orgasm is still a pretty nice thing to have.

I like that there's a lot of variety, and I think it is realistic, you know... I know fellow aces with a wide variety of opinions on sex, from repulsion to genuine enjoyment.
