Asexual labels explained using cereal

You are in a kitchen, opening a pantry door. It contains every brand of cereal in existence.

Libido- How hungry you are

Sexual Attraction- How appealing each cereal is to you

Sex-Repulsed- The mere act of eating cereal disturbs you. You flee the kitchen to watch Netflix instead.

Sex-Indifferent- Someone brings you a bowl of cereal. Even though you don’t crave cereal, you decide to eat some anyway. Maybe because you want the person to feel happy you’re eating something they provided you. Maybe you’re just that hungry. Regardless, you’re fine with eating it since it’s already there. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t care either.

Sex-favorable- Though you don’t particularly crave cereal, the act of eating cereal is enjoyable. So enjoyable, you go through the trouble of picking a brand to eat.

Asexual with low/no libido- You are rarely hungry, and none of the cereal appeals to you.

Asexual with average/high libido- You are often hungry, but none of the cereal appeals to you.

Aegosexual-  Eating cereal sounds fun in theory but not in practice. You certainly have no interest in eating cereal yourself. You’d rather fantasize about other people eating cereal, thankyouverymuch. 

Gray Asexual- You only like Lucky Charms and Apple Jacks. And maybe Fruity Pebbles but you’re not quite sure.

Demisexual- You see a box of Trix. You are familiar with the rabbit on the box, due to the commercials you’ve seen. You always sympathized with the rabbit for never getting any Trix. There are things in life you’ve wanted but have never gotten. You feel a bond with the rabbit. Suddenly that box of Trix looks tasty.

Fraysexual- You see a box of Cocoa Puffs. You have never heard of Cocoa Puffs in your life. But something about it is oh-so-appealing. You pour yourself a bowl. As you start to eat, you catch a commercial for Cocoa Puffs on TV. You now know what the mascot on the box is like. You lose interest in Cocoa Puffs for reasons you cannot explain.

Lithosexual- You notice a box of Fruit Loops. You feel an urge to eat it. Toucan Sam comes to life and asks you to eat them. This makes you uncomfortable, so you leave to watch Netflix with the sex-repulsed ace.

Reciprosexual- You have no interest in any of the cereal. Not even that box of Frosted Flakes. But Tony the Tiger shows up wanting you to eat the Frosted Flakes. Now that he wants you to eat Frosted Flakes, you want to eat Frosted Flakes. 

Cupiosexual- You want to eat cereal, but none of the cereal looks appealing. Maybe if you grab that box of Corn Flakes, it’ll become appealing to you later? It’s happened to other people. You consider grabbing that box of Corn Flakes, just in case.

Orchidsexual- Some of the cereal looks appealing, but you have no interest in eating cereal.

Aceflux- None of the cereal looks good, so you close the pantry. A few days later, you decide to open the pantry again. Now, some of those brands look appetizing. You check the pantry again the next day. None of the cereal looks good anymore.

Quoisexual- You have no idea if you like a cereal because you want to eat it, or if you just think the box art is pretty. Does liking the box art count as wanting to eat it? Do you just like the mascot? Does liking the mascot count as wanting to eat the cereal? After reading everything I’ve written, you are still confused. You bang your head against the pantry in frustration.

Picture for context: I was feeling like Charlie yesterday because I had a big migraine but I pulled through when working. I went to a pride event before hand and felt happy to have made yet another new friend despite us being ten years apart. I still can't believe I'm 30 sometimes. I even whipped out my ID to them to prove it even if I don't have my birth certificate on hand lol. So there was one free Palestine booth that had also provided the music. Chances to learn about all sorts of groups helping out in the local area, and we collected a lot of free stuff! I ended up being surprised tackled by my sister too! 😂 I told her she had accidentally gotten the gay man pride flag, she went back to get the asexual flag! I guess I could have gotten that too, because I had forgotten about quoisexual (which I feel is one of my favorite flags anyways) but I'm more broadly pan. Got an enby and progress flag instead. I'm not posting pics of my friends here to protect their anonymousity. I did manage to wear a smiling friends tank and that's how I kinda got talking to my new friend about it lol. And I also found some "nonbinary" flowers. They were yellow and purple colored and I'm glad I was able to find something like that. It did rain for a bit, which might have caused my headache , or not getting my coffee in the morning right away 😔 Happy pride everyone! 😁 (Yes I did cut my bangs by myself 😂)

Here's your reminder that:

Acespec people can call themselves asexual

Arospec people can call themselves aromantic

Aroacespec people can call themselves aroace

The words asexual, aromantic, and aroace, do not belong solely to those on one end of the spectrum. Demi, cupio, grey, lith, quoi, and all other aspecs are just as welcome under these words.

I saw a post that claimed only those without any form of romantic or sexual attraction could call themselves "gay/bi/etc. aroace" and that those on the spectrums somewhere have to use something else. Frankly, it's beyond ridiculous and aphobic to say so. Those on the spectrums are just as allowed to use the words that have always been granted to them within the community.

Do not let anyone tell you that the community you're in doesn't belong to you, or that you're less welcome here.

In honor of asexual awareness week I have made more jars!! All ace identities are valid and deserve to be seen. I love my ace fam 🖤🤍💜

Asexual

Aroace | Gray Ace | Fraysexual

Lithosexual | Reciprosexual | Cupiosexual

Orchidsexual | Aceflux | Quoisexual

Some of the colors aren’t the best, but I did what I could. If anyone has any requests for other ace spec flags in jars for this week, shoot me an ask! My only limits are complexity - I’m truly sorry to my demi siblings. Triangles are too hard.
