radiojournalist Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites

5_♦♣ Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm Asexual, but I'm not a virgin (though I'm not sexually active). Link to post Share on other sites
radiojournalist Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites
sinisterporpoise Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Bridge Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 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 :) Link to post Share on other sites
Preskom Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 bah, too bad, I would have loved to be able to help... I am a 24 years old virgin asexual...french canadian. Because of my terrible accent I absolutly refuse to have my voice recorded XD I really do hope you find someone, I will be looking forward to your show... Link to post Share on other sites
michaeld Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 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. - michaeld (AVEN PT) Link to post Share on other sites
Saolin Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I would be comfortable doing this as long as my name was not shared. Link to post Share on other sites
michaeld Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 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? Link to post Share on other sites
radiojournalist Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I have booked the interview. And I wanted to thank Michael and everyone for posting and helping me. Have a wonderful holiday. Cheers, Shannon Link to post Share on other sites
Qutenkuddly Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I woulda volunteered, but, alas, not a virgin. Link to post Share on other sites
Belenus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I would definitely like to listen when this airs. Let us know the date! Link to post Share on other sites
michaeld Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites
michaeld Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 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. http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/ Looking at the current timetable, I think the programme is in the morning. 8.30am-ish onwards. Link to post Share on other sites
car_leo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hello, I am 23, canadian female and an asexual virgin. I would be interested in speaking to you. Let me know :) Link to post Share on other sites
car_leo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 just read all of the other replies, i now see that the interview is already booked. look forward to the show! :) Link to post Share on other sites
Saolin Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 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. :) Link to post Share on other sites
