An Introduction to Identities on the Asexual and Aromantic Spectrums
This guide has been co-produced with young people aged between 13-25 who are asexual, aromantic and questioning their identity.
We hope this guide will provide an introduction that will help you to understand the aromantic and asexual communities and how you can be great allies to them. We will cover different types of attraction, what being aromantic/asexual looks like for different people, relationships, common misconceptions and how these harm aromantic and asexual people.
This is not a definitive guide, but we hope it will be a good introduction.
This guide is for people who aren’t asexual or aromantic, but you may also find that some of these things apply to you. We have also included some resources for people who might be questioning their identity.
‘It’s incredibly difficult to be what you can’t see. And often the small bits of representation of asexuality are portrayed incorrectly or only focus on one very small area of the asexuality spectrum.’
