This is a site for people on the asexual spectrum to recommend providers, professionals, and content creators to other aces. We also encourage aces to recommend themselves so that we can support our community members. If you are a professional who is not ace yourself, but are culturally competent with the ace community, and would like to list your services, that is also welcome.

AZE Journal

azejournal.com

AZE is an interdisciplinary journal publishing the written and artistic reflections of asexual, aromantic, and agender people. It was first established in 2016 with the intention of providing visibility to the expressions of asexual people in a sexual world. The central purpose of the journal was to exist as a space for creative and critical expressions, including personal essays, poetry, visual art, and academic writing. In 2019, the scope of the journal expanded to not just critique sexual expectations, but also romantic and gendered ones.

Ace Zine Archive

acezinearchive.wordpress.com

We list all zines we can find that have any ace-related content. This means any content that explicitly mentions asexuality or the asexual spectrum in the (various) way(s) that we use those words in ace community spaces (i.e., as an identity label, or a sexual orientation, or a description for not experiencing sexual attraction and/or sexual desire, etc.) Since we have now found a number of non-ace arospec zines, we have added a collection of (not-specifically-ace) arospec-focused zines.
