CuriousCat7 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hello all! I am a therapist who is currently earning a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and I'm doing a project in my Sexuality class on asexuality. I'm quite ignorant of what it means to identify as asexual, and the experiences that asexuals go through (the good, the bad, and the ugly). As someone who is also a minority in sexual orientation, I want to assure you that my questions come from a place of curiosity and respect, and everything shared is confidential. If anyone would like to reach out, I would greatly appreciate it Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It’s great that you’re doing a project on asexuality and I hope you find people to give you the information you need. Everyone here has a story to tell and because asexuality is so varied there are bound to be different experiences to hear about. Being genderfluid my own experiences are maybe more complicated and it’s not always easy to know whether things are a result of my sense of gender or sexuality. Link to post Share on other sites

ponz Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm asexual, 27 years old, and have plenty of experience dating sexual people and dealing with the complications that result from that. I'm happy to answer any questions, even regarding intimate details. I see a therapist (for non sex related reasons) and have greatly appreciated her acceptance and understanding with my asexuality, so I'd be honored to help out. Feel free to PM me!

Verb Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'd like to help out too, if I can Assuming you need any more feedback, that is; it seems you've been inundated as it is Link to post Share on other sites

Platonic Underdog Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi there, I'm both asexual and aromantic and am very much on the "nope, nope, hell to the no" end of both spectrums. Feel free to have a chat. But you may have to be patient if our time zones are not same 😅 Link to post Share on other sites
AwkwardAxolotl Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 If the 23 people who already replied aren't a sufficiently large pool of asexual spectrum people, feel free to PM me. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jetsun Milarepa Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It's great to hear that a therapist is interested in our stories because this is just getting into view, and many therapists haven't met aces yet. The ore understanding, the better for all. Count me in. Link to post Share on other sites
Jarle Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If your Masters hasn't been completed in the past month, feel free to send me a PM! I'm aro/ace, but enjoy physical affection and connection a whole lot. Bit of a confusing paradox in some ways, but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have! Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon7 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If it is not too late, yes I can participate. Anyway good luck with your studies! Link to post Share on other sites
lesla Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 There are a lot of us out there, and as evidenced by the number of responses, many who would like to help you in your research. I would feel more comfortable if you actually provided a method for potential participants to contact you. Your post, without any contact method aside from replying to this thread, seems suspect to me. And unprofessional. Link to post Share on other sites
winchester.kaz2y5 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 if you have any more questions I'm an ace, panromantic teenager. Feel free to PM Link to post Share on other sites
