Description
There is a lot of lgbt stamps, but only a few stamps about asexuality. And the one I've been using simply disappeared. So I did it for myself. But you're free to use it, too!Related content

You're a demiheteromantic asexual?! So am I!

Thanks for this stamp. I support romantic asexuals, too. There are lots of ways to show love - even a well-timed cup of tea or a shared weepie movie.
(IME, even a common-or-garden cis-gendered hetero sexuality can be a pain in the neck sometimes. People are complicated and I think we all share a lot of experiences, however we're put together.)
Good on you for producing this tool of support and understanding.

Right. Pretty much anything can become a pain in the neck tbh. Any kind of sexuality, as something which involves interaction of more than one person, is twice as complicated as non-sexuality related features and traits.

Ahh thank you! I'm ace but I'm really romantic. I'm fine with hugs and kisses and snuggles, but NO TOUCHING MY CHEST OR BELOW THE BELTΒ

Isn't asexual means they don't feel sexually attracted to other people?? How can there be romance??
Just askin
π: 0 β©: 2
Romance can be platonic, as Iku said, and with that, it's just feelings of attachment and butterflies in the stomach, and it can involve hugs and stuff, but there's no "desire" going on. Or you can think of romance in the sense of medievial legends.

Easy. Romance isn't limited to sexΒ Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
For example: I'm asexual. When I get a crush on someone, I want to talk to them, kiss them, hold hands etc., but I don't want to fuck them.
π: 0 β©: 3
So youre telling me that everybody who's not asexual wants to fuck a crush??
π: 0 β©: 1
Um, no???? That's not my point at all. I just simplified it to make it easier to understand.
What I'm saying is: crushes for non-asexual people involve romantic AND sexual attraction. (again, it's a simplification.)
Asexuals can experience romantic attraction - aka want a relationship, but they don't desire sex. (unless you're an aromantic asexual, they don't want neither sex nor romance)

i had some romantic fantasies without sexual attraction once..
so was asexual then??
why can't it be just "romance without sexual desire"
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah.
It's possible for non-asexuals to sometimes desire romance without sex. But for them, it's anΒ exception. You said you felt like that once. It means that, most of the time, you experience both types of attraction, right?
For asexuals, it's always ONLY romantic attraction. (again, save for aromantics)
Why do we need the label 'asexual' rather than just 'wanting romance without sex'? There are multiple reasons.
Imagine me being asked what's my sexual orientation? and replying 'I am able to fall in love with males and females, but I only want a romantic relationship that doesn't involve sex. I never experience sexual desire.'
For someone who's never heard of asexuality before, it would be nonsense. Because for a lot of people romantic and sexual attraction are the same thing. It may sound ridiculous, but it's true. i've met far too many people with this point of view.
But if I say I'm asexual biromantic (and then explain what it means), they are more likely to believe it.
'If something has a name, it probably exists' - almost everyone has that mentality! I do too! (WithinΒ common sense, of course.)
It also makes our feel less alien. Knowing that I'm not the first person on Earth who feels this way, it really makes it easier for me. Makes me feel like I'm not a total abomination.

lol who asks other people about their sexual orientation? Isn't that like, personal??
π: 0 β©: 1
Is it? Well, not where i live. Generally, everyone assumes you're straight, but if they have doubts, they ask.
My mom has asked me several times (apparently she hopes I will 'become straight' eventually??)
My friend has asked me if I was bisexual when the topic of bi people was brought up.
Etc.
I don't know how it works where you live, though.

Same here, I'll date anyone regardless of gender, but no sex!Β

*cough cough* SEX IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN A RELATIONSHIP, GUYS! *cough*

I actually have an oc who's in a relationship and she's asexual~ hehe

Okay I hate to be "that person" but what about aromantic asexuals or aromantic sexuals?? I'm asexual panromantic but it feels like people suggest a lot that romantic asexuals are better than aromantic ones
π: 0 β©: 2
Oh, and I hope you don't feel like you've been told off, because I didn't mean it, and that question was reasonable.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I just was scared a response would result in a fight.Β Β

I expected this comment when I was making this.
I have personal, special empathy towards the spectre label in question. I don't just "support" it indifferently and distantly. That doesn't mean I'm antisupportive towards aromantic asexuals - I just can't say I support someone whom I never supported in person. As for aromantic sexuals, I...am afraid it's the first time I hear of a label like that. And I'm not sure I can deeply understand such a person, because I'm too different.
Again, this has no evaluation and nothing about people being first grade or second grade quality.
I can guess why people believe that romantic > aromantic, though. Easy to think they're just being callous. A lack of some, well, romantic aura.
