Society's views of sex are weird. As an asexual, I've been encouraged to have sex, pressured to have sex, been mocked for not having sex, and been placed on a pedestal for not having sex, all while girls who do have sex are regularly shamed for it. While I've generally tried to avoid shaming people for having sex, I've known people who view my lack of interest as a personal rebuke. It's funny that apparently ace people have a reputation for being homophobic, when my experience of asexuality has actually made me completely okay with it. I don't understand anyone's attraction to anyone on a visceral level, so it all just kind of reads the same to me. Like, that's nice, you do you.
