Cate Perfect Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Just spoke with the producer. She seems nice and I have high hopes for the interview. *thumbs up* Cate Link to post Share on other sites
bard of aven Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 All to the contrary not withstanding (as the canon lawyers say), I am glad for the good reports about this, and also maintina high hopes. boa Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 She'd also like to speak with people who are a bit older--to round out the 'sample' so to speak. She said she'd happily talk to anyone with no obligation to go on air--strictly confidential. She'd just like some other perspectives. Cate Link to post Share on other sites
yam Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Cate or whoever, I would be happy to talk though definately no air time for me. So if someone wants to pass on my contact info, I'd be happy to offer a perspective. Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I'll send her your email address, ok? Cate Link to post Share on other sites
VivreEstEsperer Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'm guessing she probably is reading this thread, because she's probably doing research on the site. But that's okay because the day we start censoring ourselves to please journalists is the day we should just pack up and close the whole place down... hope that didn't sound harsh, I just mean, we should just be ourselves and if possible not worry about who might be easdropping. Anyway. I'm very excited about this too! Esther, it's great that you and your husband have agreed to be interviewed, you will provide a much needed perspective! Kate Link to post Share on other sites

She said she'd happily talk to anyone with no obligation to go on air--strictly confidential. She'd just like some other perspectives.Cate I'd be happy to talk to the 20/20 person; I'm just not sure about an on-air interview (as personal things like my "fetish" interest may came up). To clarify where I would fit in the sample: I am a heterosensual (as opposed to heterosexual-leave that genital interaction thing for the sexuals), 40 year old virgin male. What the heck; I'll give my E-mail address in case someone wants to contact me about this. It's EdHoover@Juno.com... Ed. Link to post Share on other sites

Verin Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'd be happy to talk to anyone about this, i'd really like to do my part for asexual visibility, sepcially cause this site helped me so much just by exisiting! :D Link to post Share on other sites
Rabger Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think this is all very cool. I emailed them last week to see where they were with anything and if there was anything else I could do to help (I already had my phone interview). She said that they were still gathering info but that she would probably know more shortly concerning interviews and time tables. Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've just spoken with the producer on the phone and they're ready to go ahead with it as soon as possible. Right now they're deciding who they're going to use. Cate Link to post Share on other sites

Silly Green Monkey Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I emailed Gail to ask about 20/20, but I got a reply saying that Gail Deutch was out of the office until Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Yeah, she left me a message on my phone with her mobile number because she wanted a call back right away. *pats Spock* Me too. She'll probably get in touch with more people when she's back in town. When I phoned she was on a train--I feel so guilty because I've now made someone have the 'I'M ON THE TRAIN!' conversations.

tahrgajohno Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 after my rather intriguing/slightly disturbing talk on the phone with jen of CNN, i figure 20/20 would be a much better deal to begin with. Aven rawks! Johnny Link to post Share on other sites

tahrgajohno Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Cate, Some of the more intriguing questions jen from CNN asked me, if I had ever been to counseling about my asexuality. Nuttin' doin' She asked if I met the right woman, would I get married. I told her being asexual is a blessing. She asked why it's a blessing? I then asked her why being sexual is a blessing, since I suspect she's up there in the sexuality rating scale. She said, well you can be intimate, and have kids. I told her there's other ways to have kids. I've worked for an adoption agency and I'm a subsitute teacher. I love kids. More drama from me if you want it. Johnny Link to post Share on other sites
biggreenmonkey Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Why were those questions disturbing? What other kinds of questions should she have asked? ::puts on 'clueless' hat and looks around confusedly:: Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yeah, those are pretty typical journalistic questions. Cate Link to post Share on other sites
tahrgajohno Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 it wasn't necessarily the questions jen asked me, it was the urgency in which she asked them. she said they needed someone to go on camera TODAY! it's as if jen wasn't doing her homework, as i requested before the phone call. i told her to look up some of the well-thought-out "canned" responses, if you will, to speaking to a producer/reporter. I even told her i would prefer that she become familiar with manuevering the aven site, to look up the posts i made. the more she knew about me before talking to me, the better. i apologize for not posting more on aven. btw, jen used a fake username in www.asexualove.net posing as an asexual looking for friendship from me. david, dj, consoled me after i emailed him the email that jen sent me. he's not too impressed with CNN's aggressiveness on breaking the piece before any other network does.

AVENguy Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yeah, there's a story with CNN that I'll tell at some point. The good news is that 20/20 is rearing to go and I may have negotiated some extra goodies to go with it (more on that as they develope...) Link to post Share on other sites
