Hi everyone,

I work for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and I am putting together a panel discussion on virginity into adulthood. I am booking three different adult virgins with diverse stories to share. I am hoping to have one guest on the panel who represents the perspective of an asexual person. I realize that being asexual does not necessarily mean being a virgin, but we are interested in talking with an adult asexual Canadian who is a virgin and who is comfortable talking about their sexual orientation on a panel. Any one interested in coming on the program? Much thanks for your time.

Thanks for all the interest in this! I'll make sure to update the post when I know the segment will be airing. I'll also post when I know I have a guest booked.

And I'm everything but Canadian. Somehow I don't think living in a state that borders a Canadian province counts.

It's great that you're doing this! I would love to see the broadcast. I am asexual, I am a virgin, however I am not an adult. Woe is me. Oh well, still excited. Best of luck :)

I have spoken to Shannon; from talking to her I have confidence that this programme will be handled in a respectful and professional manner. I've sent out the information I have gathered to everyone who has expressed an interest so far. Anyone else interested, please PM me and I'll add you to our conversation.

I would be comfortable doing this as long as my name was not shared.

Thanks so much for volunteering! However ... after speaking to Shannon (and I apologize for not mentioning this in my previous post; this was an oversight), it seems we are mostly looking for someone in the older bracket; age 25+ but 20 being an absolute minimum. Sorry. :(

Any other takers?

I was going to make a thread in WW nearer the time, but I might as well say it here: it will be recorded on 2 January and broadcast the next day: 3 Jan 2012. I don't know the time of day yet.

Hrmm, I'll have to listen online then -- Zoids and I will be in the States visiting his family. (For the first time! Married eight months and haven't met the in-laws yet! Haha.)

Actually, out of curiosity, do you know what program it's going to be a part of? Maybe there'll be a podcast...

It's part of this programme.

Looking at the current timetable, I think the programme is in the morning. 8.30am-ish onwards.

Hrmm, just got to listen to the interview via podcast. Not bad all in all, though I must say that I'm slightly disappointed that all the guests on the show appeared to be at least somewhat socially conservative (particularly the two non-asexuals, and especially the Tony guy). I'm sure there are many quite liberal individuals out there who happen to be virgins -- whether asexual or not -- and it would have been interesting to hear from someone like that.

Would you mind sharing the link to the podcast, if possible? I'd like to listen. :)
