ACE & Post-Sexuality

What is Asexuality?


As Julie Sondra Decker defines:

"Asexual orientation currently estimated to describe 1 percent of the population. Asexuality is usually defined as the experience of not being sexually attracted to others. Less commonly, it is defined as not valuing sex or sexual attraction enough to pursue it."

"If someone says 'I'm asexual,' usually they're expressing that they aren't sexually attracted to other people. In some cases, people who identify as asexual are expressing that, for them, sex isn't intrinsically worth pursuing for its own sake, or that they aren't interested in sex, or that they don't want or don't enjoy sex, or that they don't want to make sex part of their relationships."

What is Post-Sexuality?


As I define in my article:

"Post-sexuality is emerging as a new paradigm of desire in contemporary culture. It does not entail the absence of Eros nor the denial of the body, but rather its radical reconfiguration: an experience in which intimacy, connection, and interdependence shift beyond sex as the central mediator. This article proposes an interdisciplinary reading, articulating phenomena from pop culture, ACE identities, spiritual practices, and kink/BDSM rituals, culminating in a theoretical framework that situates post-sexuality as a living, ethical, and aesthetically relevant phenomenon in the post-organic era."

"A state, practice, or relational framework in which desire, intimacy, and affective connection shift beyond sex as the central mediator, integrating mind, consciousness, identity, ethics, and—potentially—technology."

Post-Sexuality: Between ACE Experience, Contemporary Spirituality, Kink Dissidences of Desire, and Technological Transcendence

The Transcendence of Eros in the Post-Organic Era Post-sexuality is emerging as a new paradigm of desire in contemporary culture. It does not entail the absence of Eros nor the denial of the body, but rather its radical reconfiguration: an experience in which intimacy, connection, and interdependence shift beyond sex as the central mediator. This article proposes an interdisciplinary reading, articulating phenomena from pop culture, ACE identities, spiritual practices, and kink/BDSM rituals, culminating in a theoretical framework that situates post-sexuality as a living, ethical, and aesthetically relevant phenomenon in the post-organic era. Download Article 1.     Introduction    In the  Ghost in the Shell  saga—across its films as well as series such as  ARISE  and  Stand Alone Complex —one of the most provocative questions of the post-human era emerges: what happens to desire when the body ceases to be biological?

Ace from Space: Beyond Labels, Sex and Noise

ACE Post-Sexuality is a space to think, talk, and breathe around asexuality, post-sexuality , and the broader ACE world—without pressure, without slogans, and without the need to fit into ready-made boxes. This blog is where I share reflections, essays, personal notes, and cultural commentary related to ACE experiences: how desire changes, how it fades, how it transforms, or how it was never really there to begin with—and what comes after that. Not as a diagnosis, not as a manifesto, but as an ongoing conversation. Here you’ll find articles of different kinds and tones. Some are reflective, others more practical, others simply exploratory. Many of them also appear in Loto Negro magazine , where these topics are approached from a more essay-driven and critical perspective. All of them are written with care, curiosity, and respect for complexity. At its core, this blog revolves around two closely related ideas: Asexuality , as Julie Sondra Decker explains, is usually defined as the exper...

Post-Sexualidad: entre la experiencia ACE, la espiritualidad contemporánea, las disidencias kink del deseo y la trascendencia tecnológica

  La trascendencia de Eros en la era post-orgánica La post-sexualidad se perfila como un nuevo paradigma del deseo en la contemporaneidad. No se trata de ausencia de Eros ni de negación del cuerpo, sino de su reconfiguración radical: una experiencia donde la intimidad, la conexión y la interdependencia se desplazan más allá del sexo como mediador central. Este artículo propone una lectura interdisciplinar, articulando fenómenos de la cultura pop, identidades ACE, prácticas espirituales y rituales kink/BDSM, hasta llegar a un marco teórico que sitúa la post-sexualidad como un fenómeno vivo, ético y estéticamente relevante en la era post-orgánica. Descargar Artículo   1.     Introducción En la saga  Ghost in the Shell , tanto en sus películas como en series como  ARISE  y  Stand Alone Complex , surge una de las preguntas más provocadoras de la era post-humana: ¿qué ocurre con el deseo cuando el cuerpo deja de ser biológico? A través de sus pers...
