That sexuality graph
So this graph has been going around twitter and now mastodon (and even AVEN have RTd someone correcting the inclusion of asexuality) but I just wanted to write my own "why asexuality doesn't relate to libido" post! (there are also several other issues with the graph but this is very glaring)
This graph puts asexual on the Libido/Sexual drive spectrum, opposite to Hypersexual. This is incredibly wrong.
So, first of all, sexual attraction, sexual desire (libido) and sexual action are three separate spectrums.
Sexual attraction is who you are sexually attracted to - so for a bi person that could be people of any gender, a gay man is attracted to men etc
Sexual desire (libido) is how interested you are in having sex, regardless of who you are attracted to
Sexual action is how much you have sex, again regardless of who you are attracted to.
More terrible asexuality definitions
Omg this article is awful from the start https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327506.php#sexual-identities
"A person who identifies as asexual feels no sexual connection with any other people and has no desire to have sex"
More terrible asexuality definitions
and I didn't even notice the sapiosexuality definition in the middle, and a pansexuality definition but no bisexuality definition? Trash article "Medically reviewed by Janet Brito, Ph.D., LCSW, CST on January 15, 2020 " really??
