Asexuality

Sexual Health

I find periods of asexuality slightly frightening. So my initial response to the idea of living an asexual life was pity. But if asexuals don't mind their condition they are certainly spared much fuss and bother.

Asexuality clarified:

Asexuality isn't celibacy -- the refusal to act on attraction. It's the absence of attraction.

Quantified:

Statistically speaking, there are indeed others -- up to 4 1/2 million Americans, a population perhaps half to a third the size of those who identify as gay/lesbian, bi and transgendered.

Comments

This reminds me of biology class, asexual reproduction. If this goes on then people would have to find ways to reproduce asexually like worms.
I'm not sure where this comment goes, I am new to this site. I have known men that are purely voyeurs. They love the idea of looking at pictures of women, but even when they have access to very beautiful, willing women, they have no desire to engage in sexual activity with them. What do you suppose that is all about? Tall
Hey! There's more like me!

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Asexuality. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
