The Ace Couple ·

2022/02/23

It’s Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! To celebrate, here’s our introduction to Aromanticism. We discuss why this week is important, why Courtney might be a little bit Demi/Gray-Romantic (including an utterly embarrassing Elementary School story), and the concept of amatonormativity. Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week is celebrated the last full week after Valentine’s Day. For 2022, that’s February 20th-26th.

Asexual Representation: Lets Talk About Love

The Ace Couple ·

2022/02/09

Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann is a YA novel featuring a Black, Bi “Gray” Asexual woman as the main character. It is a MUCH needed breath of fresh air in a sea of white Ace Rep. Here’s our (spoiler!) discussion about it! I also forgot we live in a modern world where I can look up how to pronounce an author’s name via The Internet prior to recording, so....I pronounced it wrong and I am ever so sorry :( Her last name should have been pronounced Kann with an open wide and go “ah” sound, not Kann

The Ace Couple ·

2022/02/02

Although asexuality is not a new sexual orientation, the community, which is primarily assembled online, still feels very new at times. Not only new, but very YOUNG. Today we discuss the ageism present both in and out of the Ace community.

Web Accessibility, Personal vs Corporate...

The Ace Couple ·

2022/01/12

Web accessibility is imperative in our modern society. However, in trying to make a more inclusive internet, we can fall into the trap of creating new issues for other marginalized communities if we place the burden primarily on individuals instead of the tech corporations who can-and should- be doing so much more.

Asexual Representation: Interview With the Vampire

The Ace Couple ·

2021/12/29

Interview with the Vampire is famously homoerotic, at least according to Allos. But Baby Ace Courtney saw components of her own experience in The Vampire Chronicles, so we’re here to make the argument that Anne Rice’s Vampires are, in fact, Asexual.

We Played One Night Stand The Video Game

The Ace Couple ·

2021/12/22

Believe it or not, but as an Asexual, monogamous, married couple, we do not have a lot of experience with One Night Stands. Well, thanks to independent game developer, Kinmoku, we can play a video game simulation of the awkward “morning after”. Kinmoku herself is a Grey Ace, and we think she made a beautiful Visual Novel!

Have You Come Out To Family? The Asexual Community...

The Ace Couple ·

2021/12/15

What percentage of Asexual folks have actually come out to their family? Most large-scale surveys on coming out focus only on the LGBT experiences and neglect the rest of the acronym, so we turned to Twitter to ask our followers. The poll results and comments elaborating reflect important components of the Ace experience.

I Almost Became An Asexual Lingerie Model

The Ace Couple ·

2021/11/24

I am asexual and when I was 18, I almost became a lingerie model. Until now, I’ve never shared this story or these photos publicly, but recently there was a ton of backlash when prominent ace activist and model Yasmin Benoit joined Playful Promises to create an Ace Week campaign, so I’m here to add another voice to the “Aces in Lingerie” conversation.

Ace Week 2021 Recap: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Ace Couple ·

2021/11/03

In many ways, we believe that this year was the most successful Ace Week to date! There were many wonderful successes such as Disabled Ace Day and PanACEa, but no queer event online goes without it’s challenges. Today, we discuss some of the notable events to come out of Ace Week 2021 including the good, the bad, the weird, and the downright hateful...i.e. the Girlguiding Twitter fiasco. For those who want to opt out of the hate comments, we start talking about Girlguiding at 41:02.

The Ace Couple ·

2021/10/27

Living at the intersections of Disability and Asexuality is complicated and we need to have this conversation. Ableism is rampant in the Ace community, while acephobia is equally abundant in the Disabled community. That is why Courtney is founding Disabled Ace Day on Wednesdays during Ace Week. In this episode, Courtney (a disabled woman) and Royce (her spouse and accessibility expert) discuss the deeply discriminatory histories that have put these two communities at odds with one another as well as
