I don’t have a problem with sex, sex has a problem with me!

Amen, Onyx, amen. Empaths do have to watch out, sometimes. Even ones who aren't so finely tuned in can get steamrollered by needy, insensitive people with negative energy to burn. We all have our survival tactics; theirs is to home in on people willing to lend them half an ear.

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Only aesthetic, nothing more.

I had plenty of crushes in my mid teens and a few years after. Definitely not now.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? No. The only way I would want to be in a relationship with someone is if I had a sex drive. Otherwise, I'll just settle for friendships.

No.

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Mmyes.

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...)

Yes. Definitely aesthetic and emotional -- though the emotional tends to make me want to cuddle tightly to them and make happy sounds, whereas aesthetically I want to draw them. Intellectually.. generally the same as emotionally.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

I've had.. two or three crushes by now. The most recent ones -- Emotional/intellectual attraction to a girl a bit younger than I am, and a considerably stronger attraction of the same category to a 20 year old man.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Person, for now. But yes.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

Haven't been, but would like to be, eventually.. Once I find someone that doesn't have too much of a problem with my eccentricity. XD

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption)

If I were to have children, I'd like it to be through adoption. No use in creating more humans when the ones here aren't being taken care of.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

Eh, it's okay. I'm assuming you mean things like shaking hands, from the next question..

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

I don't feel all that comfortable about kissing people.. But I say only this: cuddling = teh pwn.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people?

Yes, I have. Consensually.

.. And.. uh.. people actually type on the computer whilst having sex? O_o

10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium)

Not really, no.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

I have done so in the past, but lately -- eh, I've just got things to do, and I don't really need it.

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?

.. Yes?

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing?

Mmhmm. Blood. Puncturing of flesh pretty much could be construed as that.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality?

Friends.. uh.. about five. Mother knows, that's all.

Whee. That was fun. o.o And as a note, I like to ramble. XP;

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Yop!:wink:

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...)

You bet! Emotionally/socially/aesthetically/whateverly attracted to women.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

Yes. Crushes are wonderful.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Heck yes! I consider myself a romantic asexual at heart. I LOVE IT! It's all about the romance! I'm a very sensory oriented person.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

Yep. Eventually. With the right lady.

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption)

Yes. I'd like to have biological children. It would be rather difficult the "natural" way...so possibly through Artificial insemenation. Depends on the advances in medical technology and my partner person lady.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

Love it! Hugs! Massages...I give great foot rubs! Tickeling of the back....massaging head....fun stuff like that. Very fun.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

I don't know. I imagine i would like it....but i have never tried it before. But...like i said...i'm very sensory oriented...so i imagine i'd like it.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people?

Nope.

10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium)

With any living thing? Nope (see Q14)

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

When it comes to people....nope. (See Q14 again)

12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people?

Yes...but not very much. I guess the emotional/aesthetic attraction somewhat borders on sexual attraction...but not really. It's extreamly minor if there at all.

13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person?

Depends. I have no desire too. If my parter lady person wants to...i'd be ok with it. I'd just need to take some medicine or go and buy sex toys. But...i don't think i'd really get anything out of it. It'd be just for her.

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing?

Yep. It's rather bizarre...but...it's who i am. Harmless. And it's rather interesting. I though i was the only one with a fetish around here. But it turns out...I'm not as alone as i though. And if you PM me about what the fetish is, I'll tell you. But...I am still functionally asexual.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality?

All my friends know about my asexuality. NONE of my family does. My father is too obsessed about family blood. My mom is to obsessed with normality. My sister may be the only one i might consider telling.

BOOYA! This is really an interesting questionare![/b]

1. is my biggest question to myself.

3.I have, but not now.

4.no

5.havn't ever thought about it, cannot possibly imagine it.

6.in an assending notion to the last question, aghh!!!!

7.no, makes me extremely uncomfortable

8.no

9.yes

10.yes, not actually being with someone in person, I dont feel stressed.

11.yes

12.very few people of the opposite sex on occasion

13.no

14.no

15.I dont consider myself to be a true asexual. I have never been in a real relationship, but have had girlfriends that just kind of stopped talking to me once the ice broke. I am not close to, nor talk to any members of my family about personal issues, so I'm not sure if they noticed anything "wrong".

Yep.

Yep!

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Sort of, no, yes.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

Dunno. The whole consumating the marriage thing worries me. :P A life partner would be fine by me, though.

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption)

I despise most kids. So probably not. But certain people want me to, so I still might.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

Non-sexual? No problem.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

I like most of it. Making out and tongue and all that stuff disgust me. Why would ANYONE do that?! But the rest of it is fine by me.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people?

Nope, nope, nope...

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Yes

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...)

Yeah... I'm kinda clingy in a way. It's generally personalities I'm attracted to, though.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

Yeah. I may be having one now, I'm not sure - trying to work out how to say it without sounding freaky (I think I accidentally weirded the last person out). Again, it's all on personality.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Sort of. I'd want seperate bedrooms, though - I want a commited friend, but I need my space to retreat.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

Probably wouldn't do it unless there was a good legal reason I could see... probably wouldn't make a huge fuss of it if I did.

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption)

No.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

I don't mind, but I want to be sure of their intentions first.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

Don't mind too much, though it's never really happened to me before and I could do without it, I guess. I draw the line at a quick kiss on the cheek, though, and again, I want to be sure of the other person's intention...

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)

No.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

No.

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?

No.

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing?

No.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality?

Online, I'm open about it. Not so much in real life, though if people ask me if I have a boyfriend, I'll gladly say I'm not interested. My mum knows, and doesn't have any problem with it as far as I can see. Others, I guess they'll find out sooner or later.

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yep.

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Sometimes. Have in the past.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? Yep. 'Crush' sounds juvenile to me - intense fondness is how I would prefer to describe it.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Sure.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? Yes but no - probably not now (given past experience).

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) Ew...no, icky...no no.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Depends on the person.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Depends on the person.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? I thought there was something wrong with me, and tried to 'condition' myself into it as well as I could. I failed.

10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) No. Not at all. More likely to think it amusing and in quick sucession, boring.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Sure.

12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Nope.

13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? Have in the past. Gladly now that I realise there's probably very little 'wrong' with me, I feel relieved (happy - overjoyed - unburdened..etc) that I don't have to consider that ever again. Hurrah!

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? Not to my knowledge.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? um...only two at the moment - very trusted friends. It's still early days accepting and thinking through all this.

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Yes, I would say so.

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...)

Yes. Psychologically, though through personal experience I've found that once a psychological attraction has been established, often an aesthetic appreciation follows that wouldn't have otherwise.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

Yes, I have.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Perhaps one day, but right now I'm content with how things are.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

I really don't think so.

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption)

I could never imagine myself with children. Ever.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

Non-sexual? Yes, depending on who that other person is. I'm a very 'huggy' individual with some, but rather held back with others.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

Dislike. Swapping saliva? Can't say that sounds too pleasant.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people?

No, never.

10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium)

No.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

Eh, not so much.

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?

Negative.

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing?

Nope.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality?

Two or three of my friends and family members know of my feelings, but I don't think they've attached the term 'asexual' to them. I would say my mother, but I'm having doubts as to whether or not she really takes me seriously. My sister also knows and understands (and I suspect she may be asexual as well).

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Yes

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people?

Yes

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

hmm... That's subjective, I guess. I get bizarre intellectual crushes. When I meet really smart, intense, argumentative people with similar interests I get all warm and fuzzy inside and want to take them home with me. (Not to have sex, but to drink Morrocan tea and discuss poetry.)

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Yes. But a very non-typical, alternative, non-exclusive sort of relationship.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

Only if it puts me in an advantageous tax bracket or something... :P

6. Do you have or would you like to have children?

No.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

Usually dislike, except for very close friends.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

Dislike.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people?

Once and briefly if we define "sexual acts" in its broadest possible sense.

10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica?

Nope.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

Yes I have, but out of boredom (or curiosity initially) and not drive/compulsion.

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?

No.

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing?

No.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality?

Several former friends, but no one in my life right now. I've told a few people during a philosophical conversation (while on entheogens) that I've decided to be celibate because sexual relationships are selfish and indulgent and a waste of our "love energy", which should be directed outward in a more global/community way in order to bring about peace and social justice. I'm assuming that doesn't count as telling people I'm asexual! ;)

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Yes.

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...)

I find some people fascinating or captivating in the sense that I want to be around them, so yes, I guess.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

I have had a crush, but not since I was a young 'un.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Have been in, didn't want to be, still don't want to be, and am not.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

No.

In almost all cases.

No.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

As a result of what the person was DOING, yes. But never has a person triggered any thoughts of "oh my god I want to have sex with them".

Yes...if I could find someone that didn't disgust me...which would probably never happen.

A mild bit of autoerotic asphyxia, I think.

I've never decided to "come out" and yet it seems that many people know what I am, without the word for it.

1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual?

Not sure. The term is too new for me still.

2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...)

Definitely. I've always wanted to know what's inside of people's heads instead of what's beneath their clothes.

3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

I have crushes now and then, but I mostly try to get over it quickly.

4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)?

Have been in a relationship but have since worked out that there're not for me.

5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

No.

6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption)

Never.

7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people?

I generally dislike it except for with people I trust. And then I'm usually scared of it.

8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people?

It depends. Mostly I wonder why people fuss about it that much.

9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people?

Yes.

10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium)

Yes.

11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past?

Yes.

12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people?

If someone knows how to touch a body in the right way it's impossible not to get aroused. But I don't think of having sex with someone because of only looking at them.

13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person?

I sometimes think I could, if I was drunk and didn't know the other person at all so that later I could pretend that nothing ever happened. But never with someone I know or care about.

14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing?

I don't think so.

15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality?

My best friend - who herself is very sexual - might know, but I don't think she understands. Generally people keep away from me physically speaking, so probably they can feel it.
