You deserve a partner who checks whether you’re comfortable. You deserve a partner who will respect your boundaries. You deserve a partner who will be cautious if you do not know what your boundaries are.
Are you ever just completely happy with your life.
Sometimes it annoys me that I have to explain things but then I remember that it’s better they ask than just assume things. That not everyone has been exposed to certain knowledge like I have been. That by asking they are willing to and trying to understand to their best ability.
this guy gets it
The decadence

I’ve read fanfic and stories ideas that made use of an asexual person being unaffected by a siren song and saving whoever was in danger. And on one hand, I love that idea. On the other…I have a hard time processing how it makes sense.
I admit up front that I’m looking at sirens in a very limited perspective. (For example, they’re bird-woman and were Persephone’s handmaidens). And my major source for how the sirens’ song works is the Odyssey.
Odysseus isn’t tempted through his sexuality, but his desire to know as much as he can. (He also exhibits this fascination for soaking up knowledge when it really isn’t necessary when he wakes the shades of the dead with blood.)
When he’s tied up to the mast, the sirens sing: “For we know everything / that the Greeks and Trojans / Suffered in wide Troy / by the will of the gods. / We know all that happens / on the teeming earth” (trans. Stanley Lombardo, 183).
This means sirens lure people by enchanting them with whatever their deepest desires are. Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters showcases this nicely. So I don’t see how an asexual person would be immune. Sirens would just sing about whatever they have the most longing for.
(Of course if you want to use the mythology of sirens as sexually tempting people with their songs, go for it.)
