    I find it insane how people in these comments are trying to garner sympathy and support for a DOCUMENTED GENOCIDE by saying "they would kill you because you are lgbt" the mental gymnastics you must have done to be able to reason that anyone who has a homophobic government, these men, women, children disabled people, elderly people, deserve to be put to death because of that government. That is collective punishment which is also a war crime. Among the many warcrimes that have already been commited...Its not about lgbt rights, anyone trying to call upon lgbt rights is trying to distract you, its about the right to live with dignity in the place you were born and where you are loved.. anyways !!!free palastine!!! (And maybe someday palastine will also have non murderous lgbt laws(for which they need to be alive to make them) but they will have them genuinly for themselves and not as a marketing tactic for the west)

Aromantic experiences are very misunderstood and people don't even think/know it exists. You are such wonderful hosts and you ask interesting questions.

    @QueerCollective replies to comments here are abhorrent. 1. Claiming Myles “always discloses” when he’s clearly gaslighting 2. Claiming Myles “never gave anyone HIV” when they can’t possibly know that. Myles said Docs told him he’d had it for a long time… so he probably unknowingly did infect others. 3. Accepting the justification by comparing it to high blood pressure and diabetes 4. Defending Myles and asking “did you listen to the podcast” (Yes. We did. Which is why we’re mad. Did you listen to yourselves?!) 5. Treated does not mean you can’t transmit. It means you’re less likely to transmit.

    I’m a bit disappointed that they didn’t bring up the fact that sexual attraction and libido are two different things and that being asexual isn’t the same as having a low libido. Some asexuals do have a very low libidos and for those people it can be hard to know if their lack of sexual attraction is just caused by their low libido or if they’re really asexual, but for a lot of us, me included, this is not an issue at all since we have average or high libidos but still no sexual attraction.

    I’m asexual and demiromantic so I often use aroace. I also get gatekept a LOT from the aroace and aromantic communities because I’m demiromantic-aka…not “aro” not “aro enough.” Describing asexuality is “just wanting companionship.” Describing demiromanticism is “just having a good head on my shoulders.” Looking for How The Hell To Survive Romantic Attraction As Asexual/Demiromantic is…literally…Give Out and ignore consent within myself, Be Open/Polyamorous, or Never Try because…respecting myself is “neglecting a poor poor partner.” I am. Fed up. I can and choose to remain friends with the person I’m in love with. I also came out as asexual to try and explain WHY I choose friendship over feeling “driven” for romantic relationships in general ‘cause others wouldn’t just leave us alone and I took the fall for the harassment they put the other person through. I also finally was open about y’know liking them romantically but STILL choosing friendship until the day THEY choose to explore changing the status quo because others picked up on things and I Could NOT go through That again. They…have every indication that they like me back. Which. If they ever feel like their circumstances are More Stable to try dating…I’ve been as transparent as I can be. Including wearing fucking asexual and demiromantic pins on my backpack that I take literally everywhere. If they decide they really do want to give it a go and then wind up hurt and dissappointed I went above and beyond trying to make SURE they knew what I am Because I am beyond sick of taking blame from people. I’m even still friends ‘cause after so much shit they refused to let me take blame, and have validated me ever since-let’s see if that remains the case when our hearts and their family’s expectations would be on the line, though. Because I tried. Far more than I probably should have. But why can’t I have romantic love the rare moment I do actually feel and find it. I’m tired of being kept out of my own community, kept from resources, told to make myself small.

    Thanks so much for this conversation! 17:31 I can’t relate to that either. Never have. I thought it might be related to traumatic experiences with purity culture, and it still might be, but it’s nice to know that there are others out there who feel this way without that kind of baggage. Additionally, demisexual (if I’m understanding it correctly) provides context for why I would be unable to engage in intimacy within a relationship where that trust bond has eroded, or at the very least has flatlined. You’ve given me so much to think about. grateful to you all.

    Thank you for including asexuality in your slice of the queer community! As an aroace, I get so excited when I hear queer allo folks talk about asexuality and even more so when they acknowledge aromanticism. It goes a long way in helping us feel included so we feel comfortable as identifying as a part of the LGBTQ community. So often we're missing that community aspect

    Also a high libido asexual (or greysexual idk?) and aromantic here. I don't really feel any strong desire to involve another person. It's true that I COULD probably be aroused were I ever to be in a sexual scenario. However the solo experience is enough. And even still, any arousal would be more from the idea of being sexual instead of actually the person themselves. The reality would probably not be very appealing.

      Hi ! I'm ace too (and also biromantic). I describe my asexuality as not looking at people in a 'sexual' way but still having the ability to be drawn to them in other ways ... Sexual desires toward them, is the last thing that comes to mind. I'm very turned on by the idea of sex, though (through fantasies, fictional characters or scenarios etc ...) which is why it was so hard to realize I'm Ace for a while.

    How seen I feel by this episode, as a biromantic demisexual person 🥹 the "broken" rhetoric particularly hit home for me. In regards to low libido vs asexuality: I once heard libido is a feeling, like an "itch" that can be scratched, though not necessarily partnered. Sexual attraction is an outward feeling that involves more than one person. This distinction clarified a lot for me, as you can be an asexual person with a high libido (or anywhere on any of those spectrums)
