masked Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 about 99% homosexual-asexual. My left pinkie toe is heterosexual-asexual. That means that I am a homosexually inclined bisexual asexual. (say it 10 times fast, I dare you...) Link to post Share on other sites
Mexad Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Homosexual-asexual. Basically I'm repressed heterosexual, but charasteristic to it is basically nul heterosexual interest and extremely rare homosexual interest, so going just by the total sum, I'm more of a homosexual orientation.

Sam(antha) Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I know I am bisexual because I have been in love with men and women, but I'm not sure I realy am an asexual in the true sense. The thing is that for me it is a choice not to have sex. Because I realy DO have a very healthy sexdrive, but I choose not to act on it with anyone but myself. I have crushes and even was very much in love a couple of times, but I already realized on a very young age that I just don't want to have sex with anyone, and that has never changed. I enjoy masturbating very much, I have to admit, and I fantasize about sex frequently too. Two women, man and woman, two men, and every other combination thinkable, I find it all very stimulating to read about, and even beautyful to watch (the better kind of films etc.), and not afraid to be very open and honest about those things. Yes... I'm DUTCH, so pardon my French :lol: Love, Sam Link to post Share on other sites
cait Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Umm...ambi-asexual? 8) not bisexual, but just ambiguous between the lines of sexuality/asexuality/straight/bi sort of ... seems to be rather complex, but really it's just an simple way of saying I have my own combination that fits with my particular personality.

Quietus Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm not really attracted to either gender, but I prefer being around women, so I voted straight-asexual. :) Link to post Share on other sites
ilovepoodles Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm bi-asexual. Link to post Share on other sites
normkewl Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I am bi-asexual, though I prefer women over men. I wish I had been born female, and I would undergo sexual re-assignment, if I could afford the money and privacy. I have never sexually penetrated a woman or man, nor do I ever wish to.

Fayetje Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 o_O I voted in this poll but never replied to it. I.....think I voted gay-asexual, but I could have voted a-a since I don't know how long ago said voting took place. In either case the former fits me better. If I were in a romantic relationship, I'm pretty sure I would prefer it to be with a woman. Link to post Share on other sites
Neurovore Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I am asexual, and I also seem to be aromantic. I have not felt the commonly described phenomenon of falling in love with or having crushes on somebody. I have often heard the "Wait-till-your-older" reply or "Wait-until-you-find-that-special-someone" speech, but since I am 22 now, it does not look like it is going to happen.

Nazg Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm one of the Others. I don't know for sure what my orientation is, but I suspect I might be bi (that is only a vague guess). Asexual? Don't know. Link to post Share on other sites
Ziffler Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 For me that is a strange question. Don't know really how to answer it. I said asexual-asexual. I like both males and females, as friends. I'm not attracted to either in any particular way. Just when I meet someone that is friendly and I like them then we become friends, irregardless of gender. I have always associated the terms "Straight, Gay and Bi" with sexuals. Never really considered that an asexual may only be interested in same gendered friendships or opposite gendered friendships. Something to think on. Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick Maiden Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Straight-A, but open-minded. I've never been romantically attracted to a girl yet. I'm getting desperate enough for a soul mate that I could become less particular. 8) Link to post Share on other sites
mackat5 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 straight-asexual, because I like to look, but not interested in doing anything. Link to post Share on other sites
Neurovore Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Asexual-asexual, what can I say? I was not meant for courtship, or pairing off. Link to post Share on other sites
mouth brooder Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I can relate to Lyric's confusion a lot! I am romantically attracted to gay or effeminate men. I feel quite trapped in my obviously female body. Sex nauseates me, even masturbating, and I think I may have an allergy to my own estrogen??? Never had my hormones tested and probably should...but I am against hormonal therapy for myself. I can also relate to Katana and Slatterly's idea of pan-asexual. I find myself occasionally romantically attracted to quite androgenous people in general. But these attractions are fleeting. I am pretty much all business, impatient with small talk, always wanting to work on some creative or constructive project with someone instead. Or at least discuss something technical or philosophical. I sense lots of biological women on AVEN who's feminine bodies creep them out like mine creeps me out. I'm going to search this topic and start or resurrect a thread on it. Link to post Share on other sites
AotoSora Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Straight-asexual, but I'm aromantic. It's odd, I guess-I like guys, but not in relation to myself. It must be hormones, but I turn a bit bi sometimes. I'm trying to figure out if it happens on a monthly cycle or something. Link to post Share on other sites
Neurovore Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I tend to view the goals of the human sexual organs directly at odds with the body's own survival or well being. I am not relishing the idea of prostate surgery. My genetic history seems to put me at high risk. Link to post Share on other sites
genuineillusion Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Asexual, but with shifting straight/bi/homo connotations. Let's just say I'm an undecided asexual. Link to post Share on other sites
BlancheDubois Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I try to see the beauty in everyone and I like attention, I find I'm a little sycophantic but that's due to being in the industry. I can't see how anyone can be anything but an asexual asexual, but I'd be a very loyal friend to anyone special to me. Can I be a faghag asexual? :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Spock Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've visited this thread enough that I figure I should comment: "straight" implies heterosexuality, "bi" TENDS to refer to bisexuals, and "gay" DEFINITELY means homosexual. Therefore the options should be "bi-romantic asexual, homo-romantic asexual, and a-romantic asexual". Now that I've got that out of the way (I don't mean to offend anybody- but it's been eating at me...maybe someone already mentioned it....) I think I'm a-romantic asexual. I think that the idea of romance is beautiful- but can't imagine ever "falling in love", "having a crush", or feeling a romantic attraction, I don't know how a person would ever possibly capture my attention in this manner, and I have absolutely no idea what I'd do with a romantic partner. I mean- I talk to everybody. I'm very open with people and, contrary to what society seems to deem "normal", I can tell anybody who asks, if I know them or not, that I love them. Even if I can get very angry with them or disagree or even don't particularly like them, I can say I love them. I’m not religious- but I love people despite my being an extremist misanthropist. I know how paradoxical that is- but I believe that people shouldn’t be mandatory provided for- they must learn self-sufficiency and others shouldn’t have to suffer to socialistically redistribute their earnings so everyone is the same who was born into better or worse circumstance. This capitalist philosophy demands charity and I am willing to donate love and effort on the part of others. This sounds very unrelated- but somehow it is interwoven. In any event- I am friends with males and females and I view people as a blank slate that isn’t pre-disposed by sex, race, hair color, or profession (excluding some cases, of course…when it is a direct reflection of personality). I’ve been thinking about romanticism- not as in it keeps me up at night or anything- and I think that I must be a-romantic. I know I don’t need to slap a label on myself and that I may be close enough to someone someday that I could call it a “romantic relationship”…but I know that this has an extremely small probability. *ends rant* Sorry about all that. :oops: Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm not really attracted to either gender, but I prefer being around women, so I voted straight-asexual. :) That does not say anything since homosexual men often have many female friends. And how exactly can you be a heterosexual-asexual or a Homosexual-asexual? It does not make sense. It is like saying, "I am a loud mute." Link to post Share on other sites
borrowedTime Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 omnistpriest: And how exactly can you be a heterosexual-asexual or a Homosexual-asexual? It does not make sense. This is exactly the point addressed by Mr. Spock in the post immediately before yours - the terms meant are really 'hetero-romantic asexual', 'homo-romantic asexual' etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Hallucigenia Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just to be difficult, one could actually be quite a loud mute - for example, if one banged on musical instruments a lot or stomped around everywhere slamming doors. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 That is terrible. How can you say such things? If you claim to have a sexual prefference than you are not asexual. You can however decide that you prefer the company of one sex over the other, but this is not because of sexual attraction, so then this would not require prefixes such as hetero- or homo- beacause they are indicitive only of sexual preference.

Brel Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Pretty definitely gay-asexual :D When I first started figuring out my identity, I had a mental debate as to whether I was A or lesbian (because there is evidence for both in my past), and decided that identifying as A was more practical because I'm not interested in having sex, though I have a strong romantic drive towards women (something that I found out more recently, and surprised me). However, the idea of sex with a woman does not faze me, whereas sex with men seems to be against my nature. I have decided that both lesbianism and asexuality are integrated in my identity. :) Link to post Share on other sites
Hallucigenia Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Some people have no sexual attraction, but they fall in love anyway, and they happen to fall in love with a certain gender - they just don't get sexually attracted to them. It's one of the great mysteries of asexuality. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Almost as though they fall in love with another's mental gender. Link to post Share on other sites
Fainting In Coils Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I voted other, and figured I'd take a quick moment to explain why. I am aesthetically attacted to both males and females, but that's not exactly a big part in why I picked 'other'. The real explanation is that although I have experienced some minor crushes when it comes to males, I have never wanted to have an actual romantic relationship with one. I've actually been in love with some females, and sincerely wanted to pursue romantic relationships with them. So, depending on how you look at it, you could probably call me bi-asexual, but I'd be more inclined to call myself homo-asexual. (Actually, when people ask me, I usually reply that I am an asexual bisexual lesbian, and then explain that I don't want to have sex with anyone, think that men and women can both be very nice-looking/aesthetically appealing, but only want to have romantic relationships with women.) I hope that made sense, but I'm very tired and stressed due to school, so it may not have. If that's the case, well, please forgive me. :oops: Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I think that is why it is better for asexuals to use "Gendral Inclination" instead of sexual orientation. Maybe I should start a new topic..... Link to post Share on other sites
Boojum Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I like to refer to myself as homoamorous. :) No one knows what it means, but then most people can't figure out what an asexual lesbian is either. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites
