JimDandy Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 13 - Isn't this pretty much the same question as #9? Not really, no. A sexual act isn't necessarily sexual intercourse. I'll spare you the details... I appreciate that... Link to post Share on other sites
borrowedTime Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? If you want a yes or no answer, I'd have to say no. But actually that's far from the whole story. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) yes 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? yes, a few times. But I've never told any of them. Right now, no. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? now & in the past no; in the future, I'd quite like to. But I'm not really actively looking for one. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? no, never before; in the future, yes 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) yes I would like to have some 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? mixed feelings on this... theoretically, when I imagine it, yes, I like it. But in practice, whenever anyone touches me I get a bit scared. :oops: :? 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? again, in my mind I'd like to... but I'd probably be extremely uncomfortable if it ever happened in any romantic way. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? no, never 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) yes 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? yes 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? sometimes, but rarely. And never when they're present 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? yes, I'd like to try. And I'm not discounting the possibility I'd love it... but given my answer to #8, I think it's a long way off. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? yes 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? N/A. Though, I once effectively told two friends I was (I didn't know the word asexual at that time)... the rest of the time I skillfully (but regrettably) dodge most questions people ask me about my sexuality or relationships by going silent and looking uncomfortable :( Link to post Share on other sites

(eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) not really....but not a straight-up 'no' either, it's sort of complicated, physical-no, aesthetic-I have an aesthetic eye, but 1)have been told that's it is very weird 2) don't put that much stock in it 3)attraction is not a component of it psychological-um, maybe but how is psychological attraction different from friendship, unless there's difference between psych-frienship and psych-romantic ..as you can see it's pretty complicated and elaborating more would be too much for a little questionaire like this, i will probably elaborate in the future Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? now-no ever-not in a romantic sense-there is the concept of 'less than romance' but even then almost never and very faintly Are you' date=' have you been' date=' or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?[/quote''] are-no have-no like to-no Are you' date=' have you been, or would you like to be, married?[/quote']no Do you have or would you like to have children? do-no like to-I couldn't imagine that Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

snazzy Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 OK, a lot of the questions I'm about to ask have been covered elsewhere at other times, but I just wanted to condense all the information into one place here. I'm just curious about these things from a purely statistical point of view... Please keep your answers as short and simple as possible! Here goes... 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Somewhat. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Yes. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? Oh yes, so many! I always have a crush. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Define romantic? Yes, I guess. I'm a party girl at the moment but I think I'll know when I meet that right person, I hope. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? No. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) Perhaps someday, leaning towards no though... 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Depends on the person. Can make me uncomfortable. I guess neutral. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? If I am very close to them, which is hardly anyone, and I like kissing a lot. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? I have been. probably 90% of these I was at least buzzed on alcohol. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) A big YES. If I am in the mood for it, it's pretty damn enjoyable. It's the only way I do become sexually aroused in fact. I could go without porn or erotica for a long time though. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? I do several times a week lately. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Slightly, sometimes, but no. I wish I did. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? I was scared to death of sex until I met a girl who was very accepting and went slow with me. I finally dove in, and overcame my fears of sex. Unfortunately I didn't derive a lot of pleasure from it. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? Not that I can think of. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? Not a single person except people reading this board.

Chuk Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Okay, I'm going to add my responses... partly just so I can contemplate these questions for myself. A lot of them I don't have answers to. 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Sometimes, yeah. Other times, no. One thing I can say for sure is that the CONCEPT of asexuality is very useful for helping me think about myself, my needs, etc. I guess I'm still a long way away from being able to publicly label myself as asexual, since I'm scared of what opportunities it might cut off for me (i.e. I worry that I would be missing out if I didn't have sex anymore, and that I will eventually enjoy it as much as other people seem to). 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Sure. I have ever since I was a little kid. In elementary school I was always crushed out on some teacher or another. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? Yes to the first question and no to the second. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? No, yes, yes (definitely). 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? Nah, I'm not really into the whole institution of marriage. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) Yes, I would like to raise kids someday. Adoption would be my preference. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? I like it. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Sometimes, depends on the person. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? Yes, I've experienced pretty much everything EXCEPT what our heterosexist and phallocentric culture considers "sex." 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) Yes, often I do (though not always). 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Yes! I (heart) my Hitachi Magic Wand. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Ummmm... I'm not really sure. I don't THINK so. Maybe sometimes I do, but only very fleetingly. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? "Intercourse"=penis in vagina sex??? Um, I've never done that, but I might one day, with the right person and in the right circumstances, if I ever feel I want to. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? No. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? My parents and some of my close friends know that I'm questioning. I've also told some of my past romantic partners, but in a really half-assed, vague way. Link to post Share on other sites
Borrible Cal Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Okay, here goes... 1. Yes. 2. Only in the sense of knowing that a particular person is somebody I want to have as a friend. 3. Three, in my teens. 4. No to past, present and future. 5. No to both. 6. No to both. 7. Depends on the other person in question: for example, I like to be hugged by my best friend, but hate being hugged by my dad. Generally I don't like to be touched. 8. See above. 9. No. 10. No. 11. Tried it a couple of times in my teens. Maybe I was doing it wrongly, but I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about, so I stopped bothering. I had more interesting things to do with my time. 12. No. 13. No. 14. No 15. Friends: My best friend, and everyone on my LJ friends-list (about 45 people) as I do talk about it occasionally. Family: I've never told my mother, but sometimes I think she's worked out the basics. Colleagues: one. Borrible Cal. Link to post Share on other sites

Ellen Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Hmmm. In that I have no desire, really, for sex, and have never enjoyed it - with another person - yes. I must admit it is more of a hormonal issue with me, except that I must add I have ALWAYS found sex (not love) to be a very confusing issue. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Yes. I believe in love, infatuation very much, and think that it can span all varieties of attraction, regardless of the physical aspect of it. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? I am currently in a non-sexual relationship and love that person. I have also met the love of my life who I cannot be with and it defies any explanation of romance, and all that crap, and I love this person whether I'm with her or not. Life is so damn unfair and confusing. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? I am in a relatively loving relationship now, non-romantic. I doubt, or at least hope, I will never love another romantically. I've met that person. Only her. (God . . I read this and I just HAVE to laugh at myself. How old am I? 13?) 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? No, never married. Yes, I would like to be committed to a certain specific person. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) If the world were a different place and having a parent like me wouldn't be a detriment, perhaps. Seems like a non possible issue with me though. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Like. But only if I know them well and know that the feeling is returned and not phony. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? I like affectionate contact if it's with someone I love and love based, not lust based. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? Five maybe 10 times in my life and I never was satisfied in any of them, other than that I felt by providing enjoyment for the other person. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) Before a certain point in my life I did, but rarely now; and when I do I just feel bad about it, for the most part. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Damn. You are getting personal!! Very very very very very very very rarely. We're talking years here between events 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Hmmm. Don't think so. I have to get to know a person, who they are, before most feelings follow. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? If I did, it would be for them, not for me. There's more I could say, but would rather not. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? No. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? No one in my family really knows, except for maybe a sister in law. My partner and another friend knows. Hope no one here thinks poorly of me now. Link to post Share on other sites
