Skiddaloxx Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'm missing the option: Fascinated in a nosy/scientific way. I guess I'd make a good abstract-art-sex-positions porn director.

Worthless Poster Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'm missing the option: Fascinated in a nosy/scientific way. Yeah, that's more or less how I feel. The concept intrigues me... the action... puts me off a bit. "Ok Jack, heave your hip 4 cm upwards please! And you Heather...could you stretch your toes apart? I need to put grapes in there! Yeahh that's it!" LÖL! (And Yes! I'm aware that I'm the only one here who finds it funny hahaha.... grapes? Link to post Share on other sites

In this instance I think size WOULD matter! (Why am I suddenly thinking of kiwi fruit? Please make the mental picture go AWAY. Please! PLEASE!!

fluffy_hime Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Awesome turn-out, everyone. So, it looks like 1/4 of the [voting] AVENites are Repulsed-Asexuals and 3/4 are Indifferent-Asexuals. ::brings out cake for fellow R-As:: Oh fine, the I-As can have some too. ^_^ Link to post Share on other sites
Jayann Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 *pats Fluffy's head* Thaaaaaat's right. Sharing is caring. What's more, I think a lot of us were really part-way in between, anyhow. Link to post Share on other sites
mindlife Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I think you're right. When I thought more about this question, I realize my feelings, both physical and emotional, fall on a continuum and cannot be assertively described one way or the other. I say indifferent because I don't seek sexual contact. I say repulsed because if I am in a sexual situation, I can't stop myself from trying to end it. Link to post Share on other sites
PinkOlorin Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I'm not repulsed, normally, as long as I don't hear it or see it (okay, maybe that's not the best way to define this...), but what really gets me is *giggling*. I hear my friends in another room, giggling over a freaking playgirl magazine, and it makes me want to find some dark, soundproof recess to hide in. Link to post Share on other sites
SoulofSorrow Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I think I am a R-A because it disgusts me because nobody cares about working out a relationship rather than comsumating it with sex. :oops: :shock: Link to post Share on other sites
fluffy_hime Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 I dunno, Soul, that's a different kind of disgust. You might be disgusted with the concept rather than physically repulsed. Enh, what do I know. Link to post Share on other sites
stargazer21 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I voted indifferent asexual. The idea of sex doesn't bother me at all - I'll laugh at my friend's sexual jokes, even if I am normally slow on the uptake. Rather, I have no desire to personally have sex. It's just not appealing to me. I am botherer by public affection, but I think it's less of a repulsion as just the fact that I'm uncomfortable with how to react to it and I believe it should be someting private and that it's rude to shove it down people's throats.

SoulofSorrow Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I had this sick experience in 1998 when I met a man offline in a park . The guy wanted to french kiss me and he ended up licking my face because I wouldn't give in sexually( I'm frigid). I felt so disgusted by the whole thing and swore that I'll never use the aim again to get picked on by horny strangers. I'll never do it again! :oops: :( :shock: :? Link to post Share on other sites

underminethewalls Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I'd have to say the same. The idea is nice, but when presented with the opportunity I freak out. I've actually done some stuff in the past once or twice, I won't go into details. I sort of enjoyed it at the time, though in a distracted sort of way, I couldn't get into it fully the way others seem to be able to, and each time afterwards I turned into a quivering ball of anxiety for several hours. Strange. Link to post Share on other sites
cyan Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I voted indifferent, but I think I fall closer to the millipede sort. Except ... it's rather odd ... The mere thought of anyone doing anything to me that is in any way sexual or even just 'romantic' (yes, even something as simple as holding hands :? ) is enough to turn me into a quivering ball of "ICK!!!!" Yet I find other people doing such things (there are limits, of course ...) quite ... cute. I somehow manage to be utterly unromantic, and a total romantic at heart. :P Still, I agree with some of the others ... though I have no personal objections to other people having sex, being regaled with a blow-by-blow account does not fall terribly high on my list of 'interesting topics of conversation'. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites

Yet I find other people doing such things (there are limits, of course ...) quite ... cute. *nods* Yup. I understand that entirely. Except it doesn't usually bother me to hear other people talking about their exploits. I find it interesting in a detached way...'So...do you have to stretch before doing that or what?' But if a person so much as suggests he or she finds me to be sexually attractive I cringe and any friendly affection I have for that person dies. Cate Link to post Share on other sites
mindlife Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I couldn't get into it fully the way others seem to be able to, and each time afterwards I turned into a quivering ball of anxiety for several hours. Strange. Yes, yes yes. This is what would happen to me. Not only would I be a quivering ball of anxiety, but I would lose track of time. Once after a sexual episode, I thought it was Sunday when it was actually Friday. I felt completely unstuck within myself, within time. Every time I have sexual contact, the aftermath is a pervasive disorientation. Horrible! That's why I only had it about once a month when I was married. The disorientation was less intense with him, but still evident. Link to post Share on other sites
yelyos Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I voted indifferent, but I'm really millipede. :) Sex's effects on people really fascinate me, but I'm not going to turn sexual any more than a ornithologist is going to turn into a bird. It's fascinating to see what it does to people, but the actual act itself is boring to me, and I have no desire to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
stars and fishes Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I don't mind *other people* having sex. I don't mind hearing about it, even, and sex scenes in books don't bother me at all (they're a tiny bit icky in films, but not to the point of upsetting me). I actually find the whole idea rather... well, sweet, if that makes sense. As far as thinking about it, seeing it, etc, I'm definitely I-A. It's just the concept of me having sex that's repulsive. I used to feel pretty indifferent to that too (not so much "ewwww!" as "oh, please, can't we do something more interesting?") but lately I'm actually pretty squicked by the whole thought. So... hm. Indifferent, moving towards "repulsed, but only when it actually involves me, otherwise not bothered". Link to post Share on other sites

It's fascinating to see what it does to people, but the actual act itself is boring to me, and I have no desire to do it. Yes! Me too. People have told me I should go into psychology specialising in sex in some form (abnormal, trauma etc) as I'm so interested and yet distant. I've always been fascinated by things that I don't care for but that other people love. Celine Dion is a good example. I'm interested because other people love her, but I don't see the appeal.

snowplow Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm more R-A, partly because of traumatic experiences, but actively working through exposure and discussion and sex ed classes to become I-A. I'm pretty sure that said trauma is not making me asexual per se any more than they would make a gay person gay, but I acknowledge that it had an effect and have worked over the last few years to gain a better understanding of sexuality and where I fit in so that I can accept both others who choose to be sexual and myself. --Julie Link to post Share on other sites
Vicious Trollop Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I voted indifferent, but like many of you I'm probably closer to the center. Generally, I'm not repulsed by others having sex if I'm aware of it from a distance. Books don't bother me, films don't bother me. (Generally, watching films, I just think it looks boring, though I realize your typical missionary romp doesn't display the entire oeuvre.) When I was younger and thought about sex, I always pictured two other people (from books or movies) having sex, and never me. A year ago when I was still trying to feel sexual I downloaded some porn and it didn't really disgust me (well, I tried very hard to get some 'nice' porn), but it didn't turn me on, either. I am a bit grossed out by watching people kiss in public, hearing sex in the next room (oh, to have one's own place!), and definitely by the thought of engaging in anything more than hand-holding and some cuddling (not really touching) myself. And I am theoretically interested in the subject, as a women's studies disciple - although after my first session of Women's Representations of Eros and Pathos today, I have to admit I was a bit irrationally squeamish. All sex, all the time - no, maybe it's not best for me to approach the subject with that kind of intensity. Link to post Share on other sites
Eli-kun Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I don't mind sexual inuendos and I like to write slash fanfiction but I am repulsed by the thought of me in any sexual situation. Hentai(Japanese animation porn) can be amusing. I enjoy panty shots and other sorts of anime/video game fanservice. Link to post Share on other sites
