You know what, I’m gonna say it.
Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual in cannon and them having and enjoying sex are not conflicting ideas. There are sex-positive and sex-neutral asexuals. These are characters who do not need to eat, or listen to music, or indulge in anything related to human forms of pleasure, but do so anyway because they like the way it makes them feel. Theres literally zero reason why sex can’t be one of those pleasures, even without sexual attraction (because sexual attraction does not equal sex drive or even enjoyment of the act).
I’ve seen a lot of posts (hell, I’ve even reblogged some of them) about choosing between headcannoning Crowley and Aziraphale as asexual or headcannoning them as sexually active, but you know what? Theres literally no need to choose. They can be both at the same time.
Headcannon whatever you like, but as an asexual who’s been made to feel guilty for even liking to read/write smut fic (because “real” asexuals must eschew anything sexual, according to some people), I’m done feeling like I have to choose with these characters. They can be ace, they can be sexually active, they can be both at the same time if I want and those are equally valid interpretations.
