wednesday's child Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yes. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Aesthetic appreciation, but I wouldn't call it attraction. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? Yes. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Yes, I would like to. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? Haven't been yet, and am kind of ambivalent about the concept. Probably a moot point living in the US--the only person I'd ever want to marry at present is another girl. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) No. *shudder* Me and kids do NOT get along. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Like. Don't get nearly enough of, in fact. Since I have no significant other I have no one to cuddle with. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Um... see above. Not really a fan of kissing, I guess I could take it or leave it. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? No, never. (... Are you now? Like, while I'm typing this? *giggle*) 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) No. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? No, never have, never intend to. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? No. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? No, never have and never 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? None of my family (ugh, I hope, anyway). Most of my friends.

Vicious Trollop Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I've often wanted such a handy reference guide! Good deal. 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yes. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Yes, personality/emotionally. Sometimes physically, but it doesn't manifest itself as attraction, just an admiration for certain looks or styles. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? No. I believe the maybe two times I thought I had a "crush" on someone I was only forcing myself to. I never have when I'm being true to myself. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Undecided leaning toward yes. But very picky. It would most likely be person rather than persons. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? No. I value neither a religious nor a governmental sanction; I don't want to own or be owned by another person; and I do not believe I could sustain romantic love over a lifetime. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) No. I do not enjoy most children and I don't feel I would be a good mother. If this changed, I would consider adoption only. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Generally dislike but tolerate; occasionally welcome, from certain trusted people. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Dislike and generally feel very uncomfortable. I can imagine a situation in which I would welcome this, but have not found myself in it ever. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? Never have been, and can't imagine I ever will be. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) A little. Usually not even enough to make me want to masturbate, so it seems pointless, but yes it does arouse me. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Yes, when the need strikes, which seems infrequent compared to the amount most sexuals seem to. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Never, not by people I know in real life. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? No. Under almost no circumstances. Non-intercourse sexual touching, still almost definitely not, but I'd be somewhat more open to it. 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? Right now, two friends. But I'm in Europe and rarely talk to anyone I'm close to, and intend to tell my parents, and anyone with whom the subject arises, when I get home. Link to post Share on other sites
Live R Perfect Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 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... Link to post Share on other sites
