I'm an Indifferent Asexual. Only certain kinds of deplorable sexual acts disgust me, but the ones I'm thinking of tend to disgust many sexual people as well. I enjoy learning about the science behind sex (much like I enjoy learning the science behind most things), and I also like studying it from a sociological perspective, but I don't have the drive to engage in it myself.

I need another category - usually indifferent but somtimes I acutally like sex.

I almost don't belong in this group, but then again I do because I can see myself living without sex for the rest of my life if I decide to (not abstaining, just not really driven to seek out sex).

I said indifferent I don't mind what other people do.

I prefer to think any sex has to involve love and respect but sadly know that's not always the case.

I suppose I am curious about it but that's it.

I have no problems talking about sex, say, with my friends who are both massively heterosexual girls in serious relationships.

Personally, I just don't want it for me. I understand that the majority of EVERYONE ELSE does want it, from SOMEONE. But not me.

I voted indifferent.

I have no problem with other people enjoying sexual activities, and indeed there are some sexual aspects that I too enjoy, but I'm still not sexually attracted to others.

I voted "repulsed-asexual." I respect the rights of others to engage in the act in whatever way they please, but I'd rather not know about it.

I voted 'indifferent', but that's not actually true. I actually LIKE sex, the idea of it, and all that. Some people watch sports, talk about the players, coaches, etc., buy products, and place bets on it, but those people would never play the sport themselves. That's me and sex.

I like reading sexual things, I like thinking about sex, I like observing sex, hearing about it, researching it, etc. I just personally don't want to participate. (Now, if I could only bet on sex...) :lol:

I put indifferent, but really, it depends on the situation. I can be utterly disgusted sometimes, and could care less others.

I voted indifferent, and I am, as long as I don't have to know too much detail I am not bothered. If I am in a sexual situation I become increasingly uncomfortable however, so not indifferent if I am involved.

Totaly repulsed, but don't have a problem with what other people do as long as I don't have to see it or hear about it.

I'm not quite sure what I am. Being a teenager, I can talk openly about sex with friends without really thinking too deeply about it, and don't think of sex as some disgusting or a dirty thing. But whenever I actually THINK about what I'm talking about and conjure an image of the sexual act in my head I am instantly repulsed, and sex becomes dirty and disgusting right away. So, in conclusion, I'm not really sure what type of asexual I am.

I voted indifferent, but I'm more curious than anything. I've never done anything and I don't feel the need to do anything, but a part of me would like to see what all the big fuss is about.

My friends talk about sex what seems like 24-7, the internet is laden with it, I've come across so much stuff that unless I make the effort to picture myself doing it, nothing gets any real reaction.

Nolwe, I 'saved' myself until I met my (to be) husband, then wondered why I'd bothered. I was 28, he didn't believe I was still a virgin, and it was all a bit of an anticlimax (pun not intended). Basically, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, if you're happy the way you are, don't do something you're uncomfortable with.

..or even worse, something you're going to dislike yourself for going along with. Please be sure it's what you want, don't do something to 'fit in your friends'. OK, I'm an Ancient, try reading the 'Desiderata', but do what feels right for you

I'm not disgusted that other people do it (unless I think about it too much), but I'm disgusted by the idea of ME doing it.

Repulsed. Repulsed by the sounds (worse than someone chewing with his mouth open) and almost any touching. I've hurt the feelings of many who don't understand that I am repulsed by the act, not the person.

Porn, at best, is bizarre. For the longest time, I just didn't believe that anyone wanted to perform oral, but only did it as a sacrifice to prove her love.

Ironically, I am not repulsed by the sport of wrestling.

I voted indifferent, but then, the more I thought about it, I think it's somewhere between indifferent and repulsed. I've had sex, and at times I've enjoyed it, or rather, have not "minded"...but at other times I just wanted to cringe and puke.

I'm just now coming to an understanding that I am an Asexual individual. I'm not exactly sure how I feel, just that I personally do not enjoy, nor want sex. I don't care what others do, as long as I'm not subjected to a "play by play."

Exactly the same, most of my friends and I have an understanding that Im fine with most sorts of sex, as long as it doesnt include me in any way

I'm indifferent. I'm not usually comfortable being presented with kissing and sex in media, but I think that's because I was brought up to give people privacy and to look away when people were being sexual.

I too have a curiosity about sex, in a distant observer kind of way. :) Whenever I get 'chatted up' I become uncomfortable. I'm just not confident enough to firmly decline any advances, and I try and rack my brain to think of ways to escape, as telling people you're not interested in sex is usually met with "you just haven't met the right person". Hmm, maybe I could say "well, that person definitely isn't you" next time!

Repulsed, offended, avoidant. Take refuge in prudishness to avoid people making unseemly comments in my presence.

And about "what about fascinated strongly in an artistic way"? In this sense, the sexuality as well as asexuality bring me both some very pleasurable sensations even beyond the butterflies.... Smiles. This is soo exciting issue, the whole way we relate to other people! But more complex than my autie/aspie nutshell.

*goes home to the sea*

I put myself down as indifferent but i can get repulsed is I think about it too much. It especially freaks me out when friends start talking about it.... That is just imagery that I DON"T need in my head. I'm pretty much okay until i start visualizing things.... I can talk and think about sex from a cut and dry analytical standpoint but after that things start making me grossed out.

repulsed if it were to involve me.

indifferent if it's a guy and a girl having sex. if it's hot lesbian sex me likey, and if it's hot gay sex me luvie :P but i don't want to do it myself, it's icky and messy and disgusting. on the tv screen or something it's ok - except porn is disgusting - but in real life no way in hell am i gonna have sex. i don't think that'll ever change.

though i consider it sometimes...i really doubt i could though. sometimes i wish i could. or my body wishes.

I need another category...I think I identify with both...

I couldn't really care less about sex. It really doesn't do much for me, I honestly don't understand why the majority of the world is so focused on it.

But, I also thinks it's really gross. Bodily fluids, plus some people don't bother to wash or upkeep down there...generally genitals just LOOK gross, and I'd also have to say the act of sex just looks gross too...(e.g positions like doggy style) just don't look right somehow.

Eh...honestly, I just don't get it... :shock:
