Found the Japanese equivalent of Aven =)

[Tom Nook]

Seems to be just as ambitious too! :) They even mentioned our page as one of the most useful sources on asexuality! :D They also call asexuals 'asekusyaru' (A?????), and their visibility project as "Prase" (Project Asexual). =) And on a different japanese BBS, (this one called "is the asexuality known?" in caps hehe), from what I could figure out with my piss poor reading skills, they were talking about many of the same things were are, such as people who do not fall in love in films and books as being considered weird, and the obsession with love.

EDIT: aw, the board doesn't accept different language encodes? Cause I had asexual written in japanese and it changed it all to question marks. =(

[Jayann]

Awesome! *does a little dance for Japaven* ;) That's so wicked. And they know about us!

*suddenly feels blown away* Dude. People in Japan are reading my posts. Wow. I sometimes forget that this isn't a private, enclosed world of its own.

*waves to our Japanese brothers and sisters!* :D

[Guest]

I was at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre on Friday, actually, and I wondered if there was a chance I'd meet an asexual from there. :D Asekusyaru ... that's really fun to say.

[gambit_boi]

wow! coolness! this drives home just how much of a global forum the web really is. a big "hajimemashite" to our Nihonjin kyodai!

[Aiko-chan]

アセクシャル ^_^

I also put a link up to this site on my <a href="http://www.geocities.com/kowaii_mana_hime/jaiko">Japanese page</a>

I spelled it エセシル一 (eseshiruu)

[Aiko-chan]

wow that looks bad X_x;;

[Skiddaloxx]

Japan is soooooooo trendy today, like the new Mekka! So: Moshimoshi to all the JapanAveners over there!!!

[Zorui]

Japan kicks ass. Hello, Japan AVEN People.

[wednesday's child]

aw, the board doesn't accept different language encodes?

I've noticed PHPBB is finicky about that... try posting using UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding, that seems to work okay.

But yeah, there's a surprising amount of Japanese asexual stuff. A lot of AVEN's content has been translated and posted at http://asexual.jp/ ... I wish I could read Japanese better so I could check out some of the other content. @_@

cool. it's pretty comprehensive. they explain everything really well, giving sub-categories of asexuality (sraight-a, gay-a, bi-a, and just a). very cool.

they ask "could i be asexual?" and the message is that while some idenitfy as asexual and some 'resemble' asexuals, as no-one's identity is truly fixed, it's ok to leave one's options open or to 'change later on'.

go Nihon!

[VivreEstEsperer]

Neato! Oogie, didnt you say you could read Japanese?

that's so cool

無性: 性的魅力を経験しない人

[AVENguy]

I got in touch with the webmaster of asexual.jp a while back, I feel like there should be more cooperation between the sites but I don't know japanese. Are poeple who do in touch w/ the Japanese asexual contingent? Do they have boards/forums?

[Jayann]

*nods* I think it would be fantastic to get lines of communication open. I wish I was fluent in languages other than English and some Spanish.

Did the asexual.jp webmaster not know English? (Not that they should be expected to, Lord knows the Americanization of the globe is frightening.) Would it be possible to somehow get a third party to translate? I dunno, I'm just throwing things out there.

[Aiko-chan]

無性: 性的魅力を経験しない人

How did you get the Japanese to display!!!?? :shock:

[Jayann]

? I don't see the Japanese text. I just see the null-character boxy things.

Mayhaps my computer just doesn't have the necessary features installed to view it.

[Live R Perfect]

All I see is question marks! :?

[Cate Perfect]

Huh. I can see the Japanese text. Fat lot of good it does me, though, because I can't read it. It's pretty, though.

Cate

[Tom Nook]

I can see it, but ack, too much kanji!! :shock:

[Live R Perfect]

Aha! I CAN see the Japanese text on my computer at work though. But as you say... fat lot of good that does me!

[Aiko-chan]

It says something along the lines of: Sexless: Somebody who is not charmed by sex...v_v

[Zorui]

Yeah. The translator I used fucks everything up. Originally it was the big bolded definition at the top of the main page.

[Gorax]

I'm with Cate; it's pretty, but I have no damn clue what it means :P

About asexual-japan

Asexual-japan is the communication sight for the one that we would like to know more, A sexual one & concerning A sexual. Exaggerated domain was acquired, but because something only コレ it had been less crowded, domain seeing, expect enormously and the ちゃ っ it is the human め it is do.


It probably is A sexual っ て what

From contingent thing, the word, A sexual was known.
Awfully from the friends, "pale white it passes", that, "the ヤキモチ っ て it burns in his person? "With" it is cooled down strangely, in regard to romantic love don't you think? "perhaps, the how 呆 れ and others れ て I who come doing", it was コレ! "With until you say, from the eye it has not become scaly state.

Ever since, being to search the A sexual related sight and the data, it does, but you are surprised the amount of information are few. When the ググ っ て you see in the word, "A sexual", "Hiroshi Masa Kuwana: Sexual violet No.1 "something comes out and the ちゃ っ is the り...... the っ which completely is not relationship -. Is A sexual probably that much to be rare existence? When searching the sight, there was the expression, "double minority" with the small-numbered person in the small-numbered person, but don't you think? it probably is just to point to that.

Me myself, "what A sexual as for?" without grasping still there is no intention, now sushi and A カテゴライズ probably of doing sexually. Simply, after knowing that there are "A sexual", a little feeling became easy. "Why favorite the person is not possible to that. There is also about a pale white. Somewhere it is strange, it is it is not? "How you are troubled, because it increased.

"Because still it does not encounter the truly favorite person, is", it designates the phrase which how is said well as the ear, but perhaps, the actual place, so truly, the shank. Now, meaning such a thing, you do not understand how is 1 hour later, and, whether the man whether the woman it cannot limit even the partner who to that becomes favorite. Even, it does not have romantic love feeling until now, therefore it is, there is no わ can, is, don't you think?. Which it becomes favorite, how.

Speaking clearly, me myself, the ろ which is A sexual っ て what? My っ て truly A being sexual? It is A when we assume ahead this how it should have done, that sexual, it is the ろ which is? And so on and so on, the midst which everyday trouble is continued to do it is reason.

Perhaps, when it does, perhaps it cannot have lifetime and romantic love feeling.
But
Perhaps, when it does, the め ちゃ oral ゃ lover the person being possible, perhaps it may to die being envy heart it becomes.

With being the case that it is said, while trial and error to do with this sight concerning rare セクシャリティ, A sexual still degree of distinction is low, the people who hold similar trouble and, it could keep thinking, you think that is.




About A sexual
Because the literature is little, me myself you put together in order for you to rearrange the fact that you feel centering on the other A sexual related sight going round in by your. Because you have written with arbitrary decision and prejudice, the area of that pardon. The schedule which is added on occasion.


* A sexual meaning

The person who does not deal with both of the man or the women of eros, or the person who is not sexual desire.
According to nifty@ translation "sexless".


* About sexual inclination

It plans sexually, that being to be saying, but when to be easy to understand it makes the list, that you think whether the object of romantic love to somewhere facing whether like below it becomes shape. But actually perhaps, more complicated, as for I having grasped such feeling.


Physical sex Sexual inclination セクシャリティ
Man -> Woman Hetero sexual
Woman -> Man
Man -> Man Homo- sexual
Woman -> Woman Lesbian
Man -> Man woman Bisexual
Woman -> Man woman
Man -> The woman (there is no sexual contact) A sexual of hetero
The man (there is no sexual contact) Gay A sexual
The man woman (there is no sexual contact) Bi- A sexual
It is not A sexual
Woman -> The man (there is no sexual contact) A sexual of hetero
The woman (there is no sexual contact) A sexual of ビアン
The man woman (there is no sexual contact) Bi- A sexual
It is not A sexual


Don't you think? the yellow part, is generally known "A sexual".
Hetero, gay, ビアン, furthermore furthermore it has divided with A sexual it does not have sexual inclination finely even in A sexual.


* A sexual classification

When you look at the other A sexual sight and the like, generally it is classified with this kind of feeling.

1. Is not either romantic love feeling the type which as for others is not sexual craving, the ろ vis-a-vis by their.
2. As for the sexual craving for by your as for some it is, but the type which is not romantic love feeling.
3. There is a romantic love feeling, but there is no sexual craving, or the type which is refused.
This case, because there is a romantic love feeling, however his person of specification and she is made, seriously considering the mental being connected. A セク of hetero, A セク, gay A セク and bi- A セク of ビアン, with the expression which is said.
* The above-mentioned sexual oriented list it is reference.

There is no with something, because it is complicated, I have recognized like below selfishly.
Perhaps, this one furthermore is complicated, but.

< Selfish A sexual interpretation chart >
1. There is no, it is thin romantic love feeling There is no sexual desire The detestation impression is held in romantic love itself
Detestation there is no impression, but there is no interest in romantic love itself
It becomes favorite, but as a romantic love feeling labeling failure
In addition
There is a sexual desire,
2. There is a romantic love feeling Hetero Sexual contact completely useless
It is to sexual contact OK
Sex itself is useless
In addition
Gay ビアン
Bi-

With although you say, it is rather difficult to pull the borderline clearly, don't you think? is. In the first place, as for the necessity the borderline how to pull, however perhaps it is not.
Temporarily, being in common, as for being able to say
"A sexual = it cannot have sex & we would not like to do, perhaps, the notion that there is no interest", don't you think?.


* A sexual romantic love feeling

In case of me, the place as it is called in the selfish A sexual interpretation chart 2. Being to think, that is, it does, but "romantic love feeling" of the place where you say somehow generally, being kind of to be the gap, perhaps 1. It probably is to be.

1. There is a feeling, favorite even in the type the way, it is, (in case of me). Simply, because those like monopolistic desire and envy heart are little, after all romantic love feeling difference it is. How doing friendship and romantic love feeling, you do not understand whether it is possible to distinguish. Because the truly favorite person has not appeared, just does not have romantic love feeling, or not having the system which can be distinguished truly...... there problem.

2. As for the person of type, simply sex or sexual contact just is not needed there, as for method of holding the romantic love feeling the normal person it seems that excessively is not the change.


* Whether or not by your A sexual

As for A because sexual the still ambiguous part is many, clear interpretation does not exist, by your "A sexual whether" if with you think, from that day the A sexual っ て it means to say.

Simply, however it has been similar to A sexual, something it is different, it is the kana which is not? With there are also some which are said, don't you think?.When it ispersonal fear something, the margin which in addition just a little is different the stripe sushi, weak point either the air the mono way, A sexual there is no human infidelity or company and being to think that it is something where also the て exists normally....... Well, but with weak point company there being a feeling, whether sexual contact is the ear the person? It is difficult, don't you think? is. Well, until now you holding doubt in your own セクシャリティ, if here you can feel at rest by the fact that カテゴライズ it is done, that may be that kana.


* As for A sexual advancement obstacle of brain?

You saw from cerebral physiology, according to "sexual desire" "character and conductmotion", A sexual does, when it is advancement obstacle of the brain at fetus stage Σ (the ﾟ Д ﾟ) in direction under that sight, it meaning that A sexual related composition is stated, but thinking "in biological," it is not, "how it is not, don't you think? probably will be", don't you think? it seems the ヒドイ being said way.
Therefore certainly, the brain such wind what it is helpless, if...... the っ て it is said, not be able to agree upon, it is not, it is, but it is what. Well, after all, unless the oven it is you understand when how it should have interpreted this, it is, however it is.
