Asexuality, Anyone?

[Castle of Glass]

So, i know that VT has a bunch of Gays, Straights, Lesbians, and Bisexual people, but i have not seen an asexual person. So Hellloooooooo

*echo* loooooooooo

so yea, anyone here?

[Elysium]

I've tentatively identified as asexual because I've never had any strong sexual feelings towards anyone (or anything), but I'm not really keen on potentially labeling myself prematurely.

[sqishy]

I've heard of at least 3 asexuals here [I'm not one of them oviously, but just saying]

[Shailene]

imho - we can be asexual for periods but not indefinitely

[AlexOnToast]

I'm sure there are a lot of Asexuals around. It might not be the most common orientation (or lack thereof) but I have met a few

I used to think that I was bi but after some thinking and analyzing, I realized that I am most likely asexual. I never really had emotional attraction to any gender in the first place, I realized that I am not really attracted to people sexually either. When people ask, I don't say "asexual", I say "self sufficient". :p

[Melkor]

I also identify myself as an asexual person because I no longer experience any sexual attraction towards both genders and at first I found that very strange but now it seems that I am pretty unique, mostly among the people I tend to hang out with.

Technically I am a bisexual asexual. People who are asexual may still want love and some do want to be with a man or woman or both.

hi :)
I am relatively sure I am but in terms of alex's comment
I don't think that the numbers are below 3% of the population

[Promans]

I'm asexual. I don't need other people.

[mai-rin]

I am too.Never been attracted to either gender.

Hey, I am asexual as well. I only learned about it a few months ago, but thinking about how I've felt in the past the label fits quite well. It is good to see a few other ace's on VT though! :D

I think I might be asexual as well...my mom insists I'm just a 'late bloomer',but that's 1: not true in any other aspect (I've always looked mature for my age) and 2: I think I'd know if I was a late bloomer, right? I mean, I've never actually had a 'crush'. I've pretended to, to try and fit in, but I've never actually liked them like that....I don't know.

just like with straight-gay there is an asexuality spectrum, its not just one or the other. In my instance, I rarely feel sexually attracted to people, sometimes I do though, but I never would want to be in a relationship. I see everybody I meet as another potential friend. my friends find that so odd but its just how i am. So im not asexual in the way most people say, just its not like i have ever looked for a relationship and i never will.

haha my mum says the same thing
she is always prying
I even made up 1 to get her and a few friends off my back
the other was to try and get some sort of conversation going in the world's most awkward dorm while on a school trip to London - I really regret both of those

...I say "self sufficient". :p

If that comments suggests what I think it does you are not saying that you don't get horny but that you find masturbation sufficient to deal with that and don't feel the need for a relationship. Is that right? I wonder if it is the same for everyone who identifies as asexual.

This is an orientation I don't know much about but I kind of have in mind a triangle. Along the base of the triangle you have the kinsey scale so heterosexual is at one corner, homosexual at the other corner and bixsexual on that same side opposite the apex. The apex represents asexual. Everyone would then fit somewhere in that triangle. With this model the closer you are to the apex, i.e. to asexual the less gay/straight/bi matters.
