Asexual people in relationships—especially women—face coercion and are at higher risk for sexual assault, which is often overlooked because outside observers may believe the aggressor deserves sex or that people who are in relationships are in a constant state of consent and therefore are not capable of sexually assaulting each other.
Oh god. Now I just feel sick. This hadn't even occurred to me. How many of my ace sibs of all sexual identities have been sexually assaulted over the years? We know the male body can react to physical stimuli again the body's will. It is more than possible for a physiologically male body to be used in a way it is unwilling to be. Ugh, grim dark thoughts. And may those 'partners' rot in the depths of hell for that abuse of trust and decades of trauma
