Join us as we welcome Aubri Lancaster, an AASECT certified sexuality educator, to explore the nuanced and often misunderstood realms of asexuality and aromanticism. Aubrey shares her personal journey from conducting adult toy parties to discovering her own asexual and gray romantic identities. We unravel the definitions of asexuality and aromanticism, shedding light on the spectrum of these experiences, including terms like gray romantic. Aubrey's insights challenge societal expectations of romantic relationships and emphasize the importance of understanding and respecting diverse orientations.

Listen in as we unpack the complexity of asexuality and aromanticism, highlighting the diversity within these identities through the lens of the Asexual Community Survey. We discuss how self-identification empowers individuals and the need to create space for all experiences on the spectrum. Aubrey also touches on the societal pressures to make asexuality more palatable and advocates for nuanced understanding and open dialogue about personal experiences, moving beyond mere myth-busting.

If you buy any of the books from these links the podcast will get a small amount, so it’s a great and easy way to support this work.
