Welcome to Fluently Aspec!
Fluently Aspec is a social media campaign created by Patrick Bex, an aromantic and asexual activist, creator, writer, and educator from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Beginning in July of 2020, Patrick has used his voice online to raise awareness and understanding of the asexual and aromantic spectrums through his writing and videos on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
On February 18, 2025, Patrick released his first book of poetry, Limitless: Poetry of an Aromantic & Asexual Journey - a memoir in verse traveling through his journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Through his advocacy on a local level, Patrick has gained recognition for asexuality and aromanticism within his state, resulting in Wisconsin formally recognizing Ace Week every year since 2022, as well as Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week for the first time in 2025. He has also worked with a number of nonprofits such as Courage+ and the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project in collaborative efforts of increasing visibility.

Limitless: Poetry of an Aromantic & Asexual Journey by Patrick Bex
In his debut poetry collection, Patrick Bex explores the vast, often misunderstood, dimensions of love, identity, and belonging. Through evocative and heartfelt verses, Bex offers a window into the experiences of those who exist beyond society’s traditional definitions of romance and sexuality.
From navigating friendships that transcend romantic norms to finding self-acceptance in a world that expects conformity, Limitless embraces the beauty of being aromantic and asexual. This collection is a celebration of individuality, community, and the power of defining love and connection on your own terms.
Whether you are a part of the aro/ace spectrum or an ally seeking insight, Limitless: Poetry of an Aromantic & Asexual Journey invites you to journey through the emotions, challenges, and joys of living authentically. Written and organized as a progression of his journey, Patrick Bex reflects on experiences before discovering asexuality, through stages of denial, acceptance, coming out, then repeating this process again when learning of aromanticism. It is a trial of constant growth, education, and relearning what it truly means to love.
