(eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Yes, psychological. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now?

For a long time I didn't, but I have found love and the relationship is a bit romantic, but not sexual at all. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? Yes, I'd like to be.

spinneret Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yes. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Aesthetic and emotional. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? Yes. I think they all fall under the category of "girlcrushes," even the ones on males. Aesthetic/emotional attraction/obsession, without sexual attraction. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Uncertain. I never have been, the idea appeals to me, but I don't need the complication right now. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? I might want something like that one day. I can see myself more in a polyamorous household. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) Nope. I love being an aunt, though. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? I adore it, provided the "other people" are trusted friends. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? I love and crave affectionate contact, provided the "other people" are trusted friends. Never kissed, not much interest to. 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. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Occasionally, but I don't orgasm. It gets boring/frustrating. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Only situationally. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? Haven't, might want to try under very specific circumstances. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? Yes, I think. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? Most of my friends. Basically, everyone knows I'm "not interested," even if I don't use the term "asexual." I treat it as a nonissue. Good questions, liver. Care to share any conclusions you've come to?

michelle ma belle Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yes. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) Hmmm, probably aesthetic/physical, psychological, and emotional. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? I'm not sure. When I say I have a crush on someone, it usually means, "Oh, I think s/he's cute." Ocassionally it's more than that, usually a psychological attraction, I guess. These days it tends to be on celebrities or characters rather than people I know in real life. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? I am, and it is perfect. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married?

(Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) No. I used to really like children, but not so much anymore. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Generally dislike. Close friends can hug me, and I might hug them back. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Generally dislike. As for my girlfriend/fiancée, we're in a long distance relationship, but I think we would mostly cuddle. It's hard to say right now. 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? I have, but I don't enjoy it. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? No. 13.

(eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) -- Yes, but the attraction is purely intellectual and/or emotional 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? -- Yes, but not for a very long time. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? -- I have, but not for a very long time. I don't care if I ever get into another one. 5.

Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? -- Yes, in the past, but not the recent past. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica?

There are people that I can recognize are good-looking, and I'm "attracted" enough to my friends psychologically/emotionally/intellectually/whatever to want to spend time with them. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? I used to. I stopped having crushes sometime in high school. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? I was once, and it was a huge waste of my time and energy. I realized there was nothing in that kind of relationship that I wanted. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? No, no, and no. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) No. I don't know how to relate to kids. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? I don't really like it. I'll hug members of my immediate family, and tolerate hugs from friends occasionally, but that's about where I draw the line. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? Strongly dislike. Kissing always made me feel like I was suffocating. And all that spit? Eew. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? Triple no, and that's fine by me. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) No. Ick. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Sometimes. It's sort of a nuisance. 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^3 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? A few of my friends, my mom, and one of my professors Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 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 fell in love once (all aspects but sexual ones (can't get angry with the person, constantly think of them, get flustered in presence, can't look at photo without getting emotional)). 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? See above. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Yes. I'm even a bit of an old romantic. And I don't believe sex needs to have a place in that. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? Yes. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) Yes. My equipment works, though I would be fine with adoption as well. If I don't get 5 someday, I'd still like to be a single asexual father. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? I don't care. It does nothing for me, but I recognize it gives comfort to others and I gain comfort in giving comfort. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? See above answer. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? No. I have not even kissed yet. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) No and I tried everything. My advice to anyone like me is don't do that. Internet, very scary. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? I masturbate as a relaxant. It does nothing for me pleasure wise. I get no satisfaction from it, but it does calm me down and stop me from thinking hard enough to give me a headache. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? No. Never. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? I would try it if and only if it brought them pleasure and they were the one's who want it as I surmise I would get no pleasure from the act other than the satisfaction of their pleasure. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? No. Never. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? A very small number. My parents don't know, my best friends don't know, and my colleagues don't know. I'd say only three of my friends actually know. I'm still scared about telling more.[/b] Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Seven Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 1. Do you consider yourself to be asexual? Yes, I do. 2. Do you experience non-sexual attraction to other people? (eg. aesthetic, physical, psychological, etc...) *ticks all from the above*. Yes, I've experienced it. 3. Have you ever had a crush or do you have a crush on someone now? My most recent crush was one year ago. 4. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, in a romantic relationship with another person (or persons)? Currently in something neither of us considers "romantic", I was in romantic relationships before, I would probably like to be in one in the future, though the idea doesn't do much for me. I won't close my doors before relationship, nor I would actively seek for one. 5. Are you, have you been, or would you like to be, married? I probably would with someone I would feel strong emotional attraction to. I don't care about marriage that much, actually, I just see profits of it when it comes to law and assesment of pair. Nothing special otherwise. 6. Do you have or would you like to have children? (Through conventional means, through surrogacy, or through adoption) I can't imagine it well and don't have that "maternal instinct" inside me, but I don't rule the possibility out. I won't protest that much if it was in the stable situation with partner(s)whom I could trust enough. 7. Do you like or dislike non-sexual physical contact with other people? Depends. More dislike. 8. Do you like or dislike affectionate contact or kissing with other people? . Uhmm.. indifferent, more toward disliking. Not actively hating that thing. 9. Are you, or have you been, involved in sexual acts with other people? Yeah, with current friend. Doesn't do much for me, but for him it is fine release, so I don't object. 10. Do you ever become sexually aroused by porn or erotica? (Of any medium) Yes. Shameless about it. 11. Do you ever masturbate, or have you done so in the past? Yes. Bit shameful about it. I prefer when there's no need for that. 12. Do you ever become sexually aroused by other people? Yes, though that doesn't mean I would want to do anything about that arousal. 13. Do you have, or have you ever had, or would you like to try, sexual intercourse with another person? Intercouse? Never had. I am not volunteer for that, but if it were in the context of loving relationship, why not. The idea doesn't appeal to me much, though, but it doesn't repell me. 14. Do you have, or have you ever had, a fetish that could in any way be interpreted as sexually arousing? Yes, no shame. 15. If you consider yourself to be asexual: How many of your family, friends and colleagues know about your asexuality? Everybody who thinks I am cold jerk :lol: I don't proclaim my sexuality of any kind openly if I am not asked, so few know now, and I would prefer it to stay that way.
