ily Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think it would actually be somewhat realistic to designate a city as being a place for asexuals to congregate, much like San Francisco is "the gay city". While people seem to be into this idea in theory, I'm wondering if people would actually move to such a place, since it seems like that would need to happen if we were ever going to achieve a critical mass anywhere. I have no idea how we'd choose the place-- right now I'm just wondering if people would actually be interested in going there, if it did exist... Link to post Share on other sites
Mimicking Sanity Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm not certain. Other people visiting from outside the city would likely annoy me, since I'd feel like the city had become a museum, and we would be the main attractions for the visitors. However, it's an amusing idea. Heh, such a city might be quite fun. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Or not fun, depending on the definition. :D Link to post Share on other sites
Metzia Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Such a place would not last forever, surely. The introduction of children would begin to lessen the amount of people that were asexual and thus the area might become just as any other. But in concept; it sounds like a place I would move to.

Hayley Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I wouldn't, not at all. I'm perfectly happy with the sexual world and wouldn't leave that behind. I think it's a sweet idea in concept though. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyCatLover Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I honestly don't know. I would probably consider the idea. But I think, ultimately, there would have to be other factors to attract me. Link to post Share on other sites
Forensic Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Maybe... maybe not. I dunno... ... How good's the library? Is there a good sushi restaurant? Is there a place of employment for me? Too many complications! Plus, I'd have to leave behind my lifemate... she'd wilt in an asexy city. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
Beardless Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I love too many sexuals to leave them behind. Link to post Share on other sites
Aimeendfire Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 no I wouldn't move there if anyone's seen the movie The Village that's what comes to mind..in regards to the isolation. Link to post Share on other sites
Vandybot Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 How about just an Asexy vacation spot? We could all chip in and buy an island! Then we could just go for a little vacation whenever we needed to get away from the rest of the world!! Who's game? I'm ready for a good getaway!! :lol: Link to post Share on other sites

Vandybot Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hey! And if us aven-ites can't afford to buy an island, let's just all chip in some dirt and sand and such. Build our own, I say!!! (Didn't someone build some sort of floating/mobile island? That might be a fun idea!! :D ) Link to post Share on other sites
AVENCakes Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Depends on if I could do what I want to do with my life there, mostly. How happy I would be in that geographic location etc, etc. Overall- not explicitly for the purpose of moving to an asexual city, but if the options are regular or ase, each with the same dis/advantages, I'd choose ase. Definitely agreeing with the vacation spot. Link to post Share on other sites
Skylark Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I voted no, because other factors are much more important to me, like the overall city culture, shopping hours, climate, quality of public transport and so on. Meeting other asexuals is not a high enough priority for me that I would organise my life around it. Link to post Share on other sites
kt8 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I said 'no'. I like to associate with all types - it gives my life a bit more variety and makes everything more interesting. Sometimes that contrast is exactly what you need in life. Link to post Share on other sites
LL Cool R Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 No, but I'd definetely visit that city. Link to post Share on other sites
Luvdisc Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nah. But I'd definitely make an effort to visit sometimes, or at least once if it's far away! Link to post Share on other sites
SlightlyMetaphysical Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'd visit. But, to be honest, it's questions like this that remind me how much I love this sexual world, even if I'm never fully a part of it. We'll always have AVENopolis. Link to post Share on other sites
ily Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hey, thanks for the replies. My implication wasn't to leave sexual people behind, just to have a city with a critical mass of asexuals, like San Francisco has with gay people. SF certainly has people of all sexualities, but the gay community is especially strong. Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 What city is isolated? There are plenty of 'gay villages' throughout the country, and they are all basically districts of larger cities. If there was an asexual city it would probably be the same thing, just an urbanized area with a higher asexual concentration than the national average. If this is the case, I would move there. AVENites seem like pretty intelligent people, I am sure it would become a great place to live, work, and......play. Link to post Share on other sites
metalgirl2045 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I voted yes but hinging on another factor. Where I want to live has far more to do with whether there's a job I want (i.e. a university with a decent physics department), how far it is from people I know, if the shops and facilities are any good, if there's nice countryside nearby, low crime rates and anything else I might like or dislike. If two cities were equally good in all respects except one was full of asexuals and one wasn't, I may be inclined towards the full of asexuals one. But I have other much higher priorities.

sakura_alice Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 In life I embrace diversity, so moving to a place where everyone's just like me (even if it's that one aspect) would feel wrong, lol Link to post Share on other sites
ily Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 If there was an asexual city it would probably be the same thing, just an urbanized area with a higher asexual concentration than the national average. Yep, that's what I was thinking. I would probably move there if I could find a job and people to live with-- the same problems I have here ;) Link to post Share on other sites
SomeoneElse Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I think an asexual community would have a "different" job market, and possibly a more relevant one. I think an asexual city would be more likely to have a good physics department than a Hooters, for example. Asexuals do other things than sit around talking about not having sex (I hope).

SF certainly has people of all sexualities, but the gay community is especially strong. That's what I thought you meant. I would move there dependind on several factors: Climate, crime rate, shopping, culture, etc. etc. - what everybody else said. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest disjointed Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 have they built it yet I need to move in Link to post Share on other sites
purissimus Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I chose other because I already have a place set in mind to move to in a few years time. But if there was a place like this I'd probably visit it a few times throughout the year. Link to post Share on other sites
Shockwave Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 If I liked the place I would possibly move there. It really depends on other things but I would certainly think about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Friday Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm slightly confused, would we be building this city? or invading a city that already exists?.........because i'm not much good at building, ^_^ invading on the otherhand..... Link to post Share on other sites
