>> Hmm I wonder if anyone's done this backwards? As in a asexual having to deal with sexual issues. <<
Most of the acefic is about asexual characters in relationships with sexual characters, usually with the ace having sex. It rarely impresses me.
>> An a-parent having to deal with a sexual offspring is something I've never seen explored, from either side actually... (hmm that does twiddle the muse a bit, I'll see if I can push that idea attached to it into a full fledged fiction... if I can get it off the ground would you like a link?) <<
Now that's a great idea. I've touched on it a time or two, but not a lot and I doubt any of that is online. I'd love a link if you write it out.
>> Or a sexual character coming to terms to an asexual (not just making a comment about it for comedy's sake, but actually understanding and accepting the person as they are) <<
This has been done a few times; it shows up in Sherlock fanfic occasionally.
>> I honestly can't think of any asexual and sexual's interaction and the issue being broached in a matter that was handled both tactfully and not for laughs. <<
Sherlock and John in Sherlock would be one.
>> A shame really since there's so much potential with the idea, even if it is issueficy. <<

True.
