ghosts Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 heehee. :P His first reaction while we were watching it, after asking me if I was asexual, was "Wait... They're a couple? How can they be asexual?" So I explained that people could feel romance seperate from sex drive. And then he said "Well, then you're not asexual because you don't want to date." And then I explained all of that stuff to him... And then afterwards, he said that he thought the interviewers were respectful and didn't try to tell winter & the squirrel that they need help. So I was pleased with his reaction. Link to post Share on other sites
Amcan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Well done ghosts glad the ocming out went well. And well done winter nad HuSongshu (not that I've seen it but...). :cake: Link to post Share on other sites
LostPenguin Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Didn't see it... Blanked on it last night (so tired!) and didn't realize it'd be on at 10 on the west coast, not 1-2 and/or 4-5... I hope somebody can upload it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tia Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I hope somebody can upload it. Me too, I normally don't work mondays.. it would figure that the one monday I have to work is the day that something like this would be aired. :P Edit: They have video of it on the website.. too bad I can't watch it at work!

WheresMyCow Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Thankyou for the upload :) The section was great! Seems like visibility is steamrollering right now. :shock: That's great that they have it advertised on the Fox website, too. Link to post Share on other sites
bard of aven Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Short, but great! Thanks Hu and winter. And where did they ever find a doctor who had read the literature? She was pretty cool. boa Link to post Share on other sites
Jesh Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yay! I didn't particularly like the doctor's use of the words 'sex drive,' but other than that it was a good piece. Link to post Share on other sites
a-d Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 That .mov seems to cut off the last 20 seconds for me, but I caught it on the FOX site. Overall, it looked good. Kudos to all involved in this asexy success! Link to post Share on other sites
141822 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Congrats guys (ok to be politically correct, people) ! to celebrate! I think it went very well, and it'll hopefully help raise awareness :D more because I'm hyper! And that psychologist/psychiatrist/whatever person was actually more or less accepting about the whole thing. I'm going to have to write to her for a signed photo 8) Link to post Share on other sites
Hu Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Well... that was fun! Thanks, ghosts, for getting a good-looking video up so quick. :cake: (one to share with your brother) Yes indeed, we ended up with Dr. Davidson's good twin. She's a Fox News employee who does lots of these bits, and a psychology professor at Mt. Sinai; she claims to have known and taught about asexuality for 25 years! All around, after so much anticipation of a battle we were kind of stunned to hear the hosts saying things like "it's different from celibacy, which is a choice" before we even got a word in. They took all our lines. We just kind of sat there trying to look cute while they told us how cool we were. Fox News, who knew? I hope someone noticed the perfect AVEN purple of my shirt; I just found it yesterday while browsing through the shops in preparation. Link to post Share on other sites
