I've seen porn, and what doesn't look very uncomfortable just looks boring. It's hard to gross out a biologist, but trying to think of myself in those positions fails every time.

I personally find sex intriguing but I don't care for it myself.

Yeah, that's right. I remember seeing something like, "Bondage is interesting because it restricts your partner's movement," and thinking "Woah, cool!" However, I'd rather not actually...be involved in it. Some aspects sound intriguing but...no thanks.

I'm indifferent with regard to other people, but repusled when it comes to myself; trying to imaginatively superimpose sexual acts (or the consequences of sexual acts, such as pregnancy) onto my body makes me feel very ill.

Borrible Cal.

Ooh a revival.

I agree B Cal. Pregnancy...no spanks. I think with me it's also a lot of the "I totally won't tolerate that kind of pain" thing.

I cannot vote one way or the other. I am very tolerant of sexual practices, no matter how bizarre. However, I may be grossed out if I actually watch a sexual act. Basically, as the level of... detail increases, so does my revulsion. Also, I can't stand the thought of myself being involved in sexual acts.

None of this means I don't think others should have sex; I just don't necessarily want to watch, hear, or read about it in graphic detail. However, I would rather deal with sexual imagery than allow or support censorship of erotic materials. The pleasure others derive from sex is likely far greater than my revulsion anyway.

I'm kind of in the middle. I'm not "absolutely disgusted" by all things sexual, but it does make me uncomfortable, or certain aspects do, at least. I'm not sure whether it's so much the actual act of it or the potential consequences that scare me more.

It used to *really* creep me out. These days I'm fine as long as it's not waved in my face. I don't really care to think about it, 99% of the time.

One for indifferent-A. I mean, it weirds me out to watch sex scenes in movies, but it doesn't make me want to vomit. People can do what they want to do, as long as it's legal, consensual, and I'm not being forced to do it.

Frankly, when the girl across the hall has sex very loudly, I find it humorous.

I can't lie. Not only am I uninterested in sex, but when I think about it I want to puke.

I used to be indifferent, I just didn't think about it. Once I started questioning my sexuality more and thinking about it, I got more repulsed by it. So a bit of both at different stages.

Indifferent. Very rarely replused. Provided it's nothing to do with me. I'm also one who has a sort of 'interest' in it, a strange fascination, which sometimes I hate. For example, if I see a magazine open or something on TV, part of me wants to read or watch just because I'm interested. But I usually end up learning a bit TOO much, and feel disgusted.

I don't like seeing (or hearing people) kissing in public. For the most part kissing and sex in films just makes me uncomfortable.

And the mere thought of even kissing me someone turns my stomach, I mean, your mouths have to touch! eww.

I was actually surprised to find out last year and this, that I don't get freaked out if I know two people are "up to stuff" under the same roof as me.

When it comes to other people, I'm an indifferent Asexual. I don't mind hearing people talk about sex, and I'll tell sexual jokes myself with friends.

However, the thought of being involved in any kind of sexual behavior myself repulses me.

I think that would still make me an I-A though, so that's what I picked.

I-A...

When there's a sex scene in a film I'm thinking :- "Yeah, yeah, get on with it, lets get back to the car chases/shootouts/spaceships etc...."

Only the thought of me (trying) to do "it" causes any revulsion - especially the oral stuff...yeeuuuchh!

Me too! Sex scenes are the best time to go get snacks, cause you know you won't miss anything. :D

Back to the question: I can't decide....

I mean it doesn't bother me if people want to have sex. But I DON"T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

I don't want to walk in on you, and there's things I just don't want to hear about you mate's anatomy/undergarments.

And I don't need a play-by-play afterwards. A blurry description will satisfy my nosiness just fine.

I'm "indifferent".

I don't care to do it myself, but if you're doing it so be it. Just please don't tell me about it.

However, it is NOISY KISSING that gets me. :evil:

I find the sound of kissing disgusting.

Dude, so do I. I HATE that sound. It's up there with "nails on a blackboard".

Repulsed!

I know that people have sex but I prefer not to think about it because it grosses me out. The sound of kissing is disgusting. Sex scenes and kissing scenes in movies and tv shows makes me look the other way. I don't get most sexual jokes and lyrics that plays on sex mostly passes me by.

I'm not really repulsed at all (except for kissing...I agree with everyone here!)

I'm actually rather amused by it. I have a bunch of oversexed friends and I find their antics a constant source of entertainment. I've been asked to participate, and I decline politely. As long as nobody pressures me, it's cool.

I've had plenty of sex myself, and I still don't know why people want to do it. I did it primarily to please my partners, and then to get pregnant. I've had my kid, and I couldn't please my partners anyway (my lack of passion apparently killed it for them), so I'm done now.

Indifferent generally, but repulsed and angered if anyone tries it on, and grossed out by anyone engaged in it in the near vicinity. Dont view it either, and find sex scenes in movies & fiction boring - I skip them.

All that being said, I know a lot about it from reading, not least from my time on my country's censorship board.

I hate having it shoved in my face, but I want to learn about it and understand it.

Agreed. I keep a lot of facts stored in my head, and I admit to seeing some forms of pornography, but it mostly engenders a "how can they stand to do that?!" kind of feeling.

Hmm. . .given that last thought, I guess that also makes me a repulsed asexual. Can we be both?

Repulsed, but with a sort of morbid curiosity. Kind of like poking a dead animal with a stick.

Actually, I think I'm more curious about the romantic aspect of sex (or would sex be an aspect of romance? whatever). Still somewhat squicked, but I guess it's for similar reasons that some people watch horror movies that I'm intellectually drawn to trying to understand sex without being personally involved.

I found difficulty in answering this one.

I find people disgusting; that's why no one is sexually attractive to me. But the act of sex itself? Meh. Not repulsive. Just odd.

It's kinda depends on the context of things but I personally think it would be a waste of energy to oppose something that's so integrated into society. It'd just cause some unwanted headaches...
