As an ace-spec type person, I’ve found When this topic does allos confound, It’s hard to explain (I’ve tried it in vain) Without sex being centered around.
If I don’t want to talk about sex They don’t understand the effects. So now they think we’re All sex-obsessed here - That’s you though! We’re simply ace specs!
And questions, however benign, Are personal, just to define My orientation So in my frustration, I promise my marriage is fine.
But sex is taboo, let’s agree, Or awkward to talk about. See, I often don’t mind But it’s hard, I just find To have it expected of me.
And even when given an out I find that the answers I’ll spout. I want understanding, It’s me who’s demanding I talk through discomfort and doubt.
So all that to say, so do I Find easier focusing my Description of queerness On terms with more clearness: It’s simpler to just say I’m bi.
