So, I am a demisexual who is in a situation of unrequited love with a fairly sexual person. The sex drive thing hasn't been an issue so much, because I do want HER.

( cut for the fact that I'm rambling incoherently... )

WOW! I've had disrespectful messages on OKCupid before, but this took the cake! I've never blocked someone so soon unless it was just rapid-fire curse words or advertisements!

( Cut for language, and incredible asexuality-related FAIL )

All I can say is holy CRAP. . . .

Note: He's freaking FORTY-FIVE.

This is nearly 20 minutes of "trans 101" and parts of it really resonate for the ace community as well - 12:30 is right around one of the charts that lists "neither" as an orientation option =D



I hope everyone is having safe holiday adventures =)

Anyone have 1 for sale?

I seem to remember a few posts a while ago about asexuality dealt with in literature, and outstanding examples of same. It just occurred to me when I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie today, then read some reviews to see how it went by the critics. One of their main criticisms was Holmes' romantic/quasi-sexual interest in the film being out of sync with the books, as the character is described as originally "asexual."
Now I know sometimes anything short of nymphomania is decried as "asexual" in modern media, but it got me wondering about the examples of primarily asexual characters in books, possibly including the original Sherlock Holmes. At any rate, the romantic relationship in the movie never actually lead to any sex scenes, which is nice for me (not having to sit boredly through them as in most movies I can't fast-forward) and unusual in a lot of big Hollywood movies that seem to feel it's a prerequisite.
Any Conan Doyle fans care to comment?

Merry Christmas!
Hope you had/are having a great Xmas (or whatever holiday you may/may not be celebrating^^)
Here's Hana to Akuma ch 42! I thought it was a great one. Lots of big plot things happening :D

Some spoiler-friendly discussion's sorta already started over at the HtA comm, so feel free to join in :) Oh, and a fanfic prompt for this chapter...(should I continue these? They're kinda fun xD)...well, I thought the Hana/Toni scenes in this chapter were really sweet ^^* Anyone write something warm and fuzzy about Hana and Toni? (I don't mean as a  couple, btw lol)

/is still DLing, so commentary comes later...

Finally, this can be used as a discussion post as well :D

I've been doing lot of thinking lately, and it's been bugging me so much, so I'm just going to get this out here.

As someone who just recently labelled herself asexual a few weeks ago, I do show the traits of one. I don't feel sexual attraction (though I do find people aesthetically-pleasing and I do feel romantic attraction), and I feel uncomfortable with the prospect of having sex--with anyone.

However, I do read erotica and sometimes find myself aroused by it. Does this still make me asexual? I know the line is blurry between feeling sexual attraction and arousal, and that they don't go hand and hand, but is this possible? If it is any indication, I enjoy reading erotica, but if you hand me visual porn, I will visibly blanch and recoil into my shell. I guess you could say I'm sexually attracted to the words.

Do I still fit under the asexual label or somewhere else entirely? Are there any asexuals out there that feel this way as well? Why is it that we cannot feel sexual attraction, but can be easily aroused by the written word?

Thanks in advance for clearing any doubts up for me (I'm still new at coming out and am obviously shy with jumping into the pool of asking questions).

Okay, I keep hearing about asexuals who are something called aromatic or in relationships. Are there asexuals out there simply not into relationships or human companionship at all? The idea of having to give up some of my time for someone or deal with any sort of drama with someone is a pretty big turn off for me. I just never seemed that interested in hooking up. Once in awhile I'll think "Gee it would be nice to hold hands with someone or buy them a cute teddy bear on Valentine's day" but other than that I haven't really been compelled to search for anything. I'm 22 years old and have never dated or even kissed with tongue, total virgin. Relationships just never appealed to me for most of my life and when I'm asked out by guys at the job or even girls, I get really uncomfortable and decline.

I just honestly don't feel like I need someone. That's not to say I may never EVER have a relationship but the feelings just aren't there to search for one.

My parents seem to be secretly worried and they hint at boyfriend junk all the time but It'd be too bothersome to explain that I just don't like ANYONE.

I just want to know if I'm the only human being like this. Everyone is so damn obsessed with love, romance, and sex in this world. I'm interested in NON of that. The love I have with my friends and family is love enough and romance just seems like a silly idea this and other particular cultures are obsessed with. I just don't get any of it.

I'm fine!

I'm 30 years old, female. I recently (the last year or so) have noticed in myself a desire to NOT want a relationship or sexual contact. ( Read more... )

You probaly see a load of bootleg (un-offical) stuff on ebay and stuff right?
Its sometimes hard to tell if its offical or not.
But most of the times things that are un-offical are obvious.

Anyway, I was on google and found this website:

http://www.salesmanb2b.com/index.php/list/i/a/shugo-chara.html

They call themselves the one of the largest shugo chara sellers,
when all they sell is bootleg!?

What do you guys think?
The shugo chara stuff on the website aren't quality merch at all.
Im so glad we've got stormfaerie to help us with our shopping (:
