This is What Asexual Looks Like Part 4: Masc Edition
I’m Yasmin Benoit, a model, asexuality activist, and the creator of #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike.
When I started #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike, I wanted to show that there is no one asexual way to look or dress, there is no asexual demographic, and that our community is much more diverse and individual than stereotypes would have people believe. Writing for Qwear, I have tried to shine a light on stylish people on the asexual spectrum that I've come across online, giving them a platform to speak about their own self-expression and identity. Of course, when our original sample is coming from sites like Instagram — where the majority in fashion communities are women/femmes — that's who is more likely to end up in these articles. For this edition, I focused on asexual people on the masculine side of the spectrum. I thought this was particularly important as there is a misconception that asexuality is something that only women experience, a stereotype I've often found surprising, as I know many asexual guys. I'd love for you to meet some of the awesome people I scouted in this article! Enjoy!

Next up are Matt (@emattgination) and John: a pair of 26-year-old writers and artists from Ontario, Canada, who also happen to be identical twins on the asexual spectrum - Matt being aromantic-asexual, and John being demisexual. Growing up, they used clothes to blend into the background, but began experimenting with their personal styles in their teens.
