Advertise on podcast: The Ace Couple

Today we discuss the current diagnostic criteria for HSDD in the ICD-11...a definition which sounds suspiciously similar to that of asexuality.

From Catholic writings to early physicians and Victorian psychiatry to modern day.

And other silly things allies have internalized that make us long for ignorant (yet sincere) questions.

We've discussed these rules before, but due to a series of conversations we've had recently, they're on the top of our mind and we thought an episode dedicated solely to them was warranted.

Somehow, it's been over a year since we've waded into this subreddit.

At long last we are joined by Sarah Moon to discuss her personal journey with Asexuality and neurodivergence, Japanese translating, and her debut novel, Secrets of the Yllime: Incorporeal.

Don't get scammed, friends!

The Heartstopper TV adaptation ends with a brief movie finale.

From embargoed press releases to scam products to charting on podcast platforms, there's never a dull day in our overly-inflated email inbox.

A masterpiece of television worthy of an Ace reading.

Although this isn't the end of the conversation, this is the final episode for our Consent Month. We round out the discussion by explaining why all consent models will fall flat until we can properly unpack widespread societal norms that perpetuate rape culture.

Week 3 of consent month! We're finally starting the complicated conversation about enthusiastic consent and how this model doesn't do enough for a variety of Aspecs.

Week 2 of Consent Month, so OF COURSE we have to talk about the voice memo guy discourse.

August is officially Consent Month over here in our little podcast corner. We're kicking off week 1 talking about the movie Obsession.

A masterpiece of storytelling! Even though it doesn't specifically include an ace or aro character, it resonates with many aspecs when it defies romance tropes in a way that feels indicative of allo writers making fun of themselves in a humorous and self-aware way.
