Reciprosexual - Tumblr Posts

Hey Yall-

I have been thinking about my asexual identity recently. I've never really identified with the word, or even any microlabels within it. I've always just said ace due to the complexity of my emotions. I've always just said,

"I'm ace until I'm not (but only for my bf, otherwise I'm just ace)".

I have not found a single term completely describing how I feel. I've found multiple different ones that describe bits and pieces, but never the whole story. I recently found 2 to add on to my 3rd label to completely describe how I feel, and they are the terms Cupiosexual and Reciprosexual- along with the term Demisexual that I've already sort of identified with.

Since I couldn't find a label, I've decided to make one for myself.

If anyone relates or likes the label/ flag, please let me know. I'd love to share. Also let me know if you come up with any ideas for it, like a better name or flag addition. But I made this for my own peace. Anyways, I introduce a new ace umbrella microlabel-

ROMISEXUAL

([row- mee- sexual] prefix- romi; mix of romance, reciprocate, demi)

-When one only feels sexual attraction when it is reciprocated or initiated by someone they have a deep connection with. A sexual relationship may occur as a result, but is not required.

Color meanings:

Black- Asexuality

Royal Blue- Deep connection or relations

Lavender- reciprocated affection or attraction

White- Sexuality

There's also a version with the cupiosexual symbol, indicating want for a sexual relationship with asexuality or no sexual attraction otherwise:

I am very proud of the colors and meanings and I'm so happy to have something to finally describe me. I hope this can make some others happy too!

ok so like ive been thinking ab my ace-ness lately and how i know its a part of myself, but i never relate to it when i am in a sexual relationship. i started identifying as ace when i was 13, and maintained that i got my first boyfriend at 14. prior to him, i didnt think about sex unless i was reading porn, and i never felt attraction to others. after we were together for awhile, i stopped identifying as ace because i thought it didnt apply anymore. after we broke up, i readopted ace, and over the next 4 years it became a significant part of my identity. i didnt feel attraction, and could not picture myself having sex with anybody in particular. within the last year i was with my ex-gf and my current bf, and i again no longer feel like im fully ace, i am not just attracted to them but to others as well. by being in a sexual relationship, my sexuality has increased, not just with my partners but in general. ive never really seen anyone talk about that kind of experience. like, im aro. im aro all the time, in a relationship or not, i am greyaro, i experience queerrommantic and queerplatonic attraction but rarely and barely romantic. this does not transfer to my asexuality

I didn't come out as Aegosexual/romantic for two reasons.

(the bigger part) I didn't know about aegosexuality/romanticism when I came out and

I don't think they fully understand asexuality/aromanticism, and I didn't want to confuse them more with what (in my opinion) is one of the more confusing microlabels

I'm thankful that they did accept me, but still, I don't want to try to explain that I do feel sexual/romantic attraction, but I can't be a part of the relationship in a sexual/romantic way.

Shoutout to all the milfs and milf lovers on the asexual spectrum!

; I haven't seen an explanation quite so good omfg !?? /gen ( I'm a Lucky Charms and Apple Jacks kinda guy, maybe Fruity Pebbles. What about y'all ? /genq /nf

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.

Wow Pride!

Got a big project idea for pride this year so here’s a big masterpost to help you navigate it if you get lost. I’m posting one wolf a day so be sure to check back sometime.

They’ll be in a bit of a weird order but you will probably get why after the second goes up ;)

Based all my wolves off sci-fantasy concept for a bit of fun. Sure it doesn’t make sense that these wolves could use these weapons, but it sure looks cool so don’t worry about it.   Have fun!

Recipro Wolf for Recipromantics and Reciprosexuals.

They’ve got a big hammer for the Reciprosexuals and some gauntlets for Recipromantics. This guy is pretty great with their weapons, they don’t look likely to use them though...

The colours where so fun to balance, such pastel tones work really well together :0

Look out for tomorrows wolf >.>

Finished 2023 outfits for all my pride wolves!

All of the wolves and outfits are free-to-use if you're so inclined ;)

Whoooo! New A-spec Wolf designs!!

There's so many things I want to finish up recently, but as pride month is coming closer I thought I'd redesign all my A-spec wolves in preparation.

Practising differentiating characters from one another using face and body shape, I was pretty successful! I used different wolf species to guide the basic shape of each of them.

I tried matching the old designs colours with the wolf species. Maybe I’ll swap what body type/species they all are later, I do love changing my mind! p:

Size comparisons of all the wolves:

Recipro looks so small next to Agen ( ɵ̥̥ ﹏ ɵ̥̥)

Bonus wolf designs for Aroflux, Aceflux, Recipromantic, Reciprosexual

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.

Happy pride month to all of my religious queer/trans people out there. We’re just as important, just as special, and have many important experiences that the world needs to hear. Don’t let anybody tell you not to shine too <3

Is there a way I can beat the shit out of someone on the internet? I just came across an aphobe-

Question 1 - About 4 or 5 years.

Question 2 - I don’t identify with any micro labels.

Question 3 - No, but I really want to…

Question 4 - Only to my mother, little siblings, and friends.

Question 5 - I’m thinking that I might be? I’m not entirely sure.

Question 6 - I’m Nonbinary, but more specifically, I’m a Demigirl.

Question 7 - Sleep, Cake, Garlic, and Dragons.

Question 8 - Asexuals are just Innocent, and All Aces are also Aro.

Question 9 - Both please-

Question 10 - Once I learned what Asexual meant, it just slapped me in the face.

Question 11 - Knowing that there was a word for me to describe what I feel, and knowing that I’m not the only one, and I’m not a machine for feeling the way I feel.

Question 12 - People assume that I’m innocent.

Question 13 - YES.

Question 14 - I want to.

Question 15 - Ace people can still feel romantic attraction, we are not innocent, Aces are not broken, and we do belong in the LGBTQIA+ Community.

Question 16 - I think some of my friends are really nice to look at, I guess I’m attracted to the way they look, would that be aesthetic attraction? Maybe Biaesthetic? Idk-

Question 17 - I’m sex-indifferent.

Question 18 - Luz (The Owl House), Octavia (Helluva Boss), Alastor (Hazbin Hotel), Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony), Frisk, Sans, Papyrus & Mettaton (Undertale), Susie (Deltarune), Dewey, Violet, & Boyd (Ducktales), Cole & Zane (Ninjago), Ice Bear (We Bare Bears), Peridot & Pearl (Steven Universe), Marcy (Amphibia), & Entrapta (She Ra)
