these discussions remind me of hydra. evey time you think you've managed to define asexuality, three more nuances pop up that'll demand their own seperate definition.

(speaking as someone who identifies as asexual, if it makes any difference)

I agree, it seems to get overcomplicated at times. I stick with the -sexual and -romantic words: Asexual, Biromantic. Any further labeling makes me feel a little pretentious.

I'm trying to understand! I really am. I want to be as aware, and educated as I can be.

...but my head is starting to hurt. >_<

A bunch of very young people with nothing better to do like to spend their time warring over who has identified with a better label or who can make up the most asinine definition for a shared label. That's all there is to it, really. One day, they will have Big People Problems, like jobs and bills, and they will look back on who they were today and cringe almost as hard as many of us are cringing watching them right now.

Just don't bother with the super specific labels. Asexual or (some kind of)Sexual, along with a qualifying romantic term: Aromantic, Biromantic, homoromantic, etc. This grey-A, sex-negative, etc., stuff, while perhaps helpful in helping people figure out what they personally identify as, will only confuse newcomers who are seeing all this for the first time.

honestly anon, as long as you don't go around correcting the labels people have chosen for themselves, you're far and beyond the courtesy of a lot of folks.

and frankly, as far as asexuality is concerned, whether someone is one long stream of labels roughly meaning "asexual" or another, it probably won't matter in your interactions with them.* it might if you're interested in starting a relationship with them, but if that's the case i don't think knowing that they label themselves a demigrey-A-panbiromantic-sex-indifferent-enthusiast-but-only-once-in-eight-blue-moons will help as much as just sitting down and talking with them about what they want, what they're open to, and what they're expecting.


*i'm not saying those labels aren't without their place, but i think i'm inclined to go along with what tyger66 said, in that they probably have more use on a personal level than an interpersonal one (especially when the meanings of these terms get as muddied as they are). I'm not anti-labels by any means, I guess I just don't want you to get to stressed out if they go over your head? Like I said, just make sure you aren't pretending like you know more about other people's sexualities than they do themselves.
