joseph1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yes. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Yes 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? Yes, in the past but I think it was mostly about an interest in the attraction and emotions that sexual people have when they are attracted to me. I am fascinated by how it works but I don't experience it myself. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? I never have and don't plan on it. This may change once I have adjusted to knowing I am asexual, it has only been two weeks. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? No, unless it was marriage as friends :) 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) No, I don't think intentionally bringing children into the world is morally responsible :) 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? My body wants hugs but it makes me uncomfortable, especially after a few minutes of sustained physical contact. I like massages though. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Never kissed or had romantic physical contact of any kind. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? No. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) Yes, when I thought I was heterosexual. See #3, it is more about emotions than sex for me. After knowing I am asexual, the arousal I feel from porn/erotica is much less, and if I imagine myself in the situation my arousal is immediately gone. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Yes, high libido. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? No. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? I'm not against the idea in theory, but I know I would say no if asked by a random, clean supermodel so probably not if I had to guess. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? Not sure. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? Told 4 family members and 3 friends. I felt a personal need to tell family so then know who I really am. Others are mostly female friends with some romantic interest in me, I want them to know so they don't hold out for a possible romantic/sexual relationship that won't happen, and hopefully we can stay friends.
