Anything sexual involving other people doesn't bother me too much, but if I try to apply it to me or if it involves me then yes I am totally disgusted at the thought.

Saaaaame here. It's weird though...I can watch porn on my computer without a problem, but like, if there's even more-than-a-chaste-kiss kissing at a movie theater I go all, "EWWW COOTIES!!!" It's weird.

it doesnt bother me most of the time.

i understand sex, and most of it context: safe sex, orgasm, g-spot, blah blah

i understand it as part of my knowledge, but i dont have any urge to find out or experience them

i can go out and give a safe sex talk, just i cant describe how "orgasm" and whatever else "feels like"

I am not usually disgusted by the idea of sex, though I am occasionally.

I am not repulsed by sex, I just find it a dull practice . I hate hugging/kissing a lot, though.

Like others have said, I'm not repulsed by sex when I'm not involved -- books, movies, whatever, sex doesn't bother me. The thought of doing anything sexual myself is repulsive, however, and I don't think I could ever compromise with a sexual partner.

I used to think I was revolted by it, but now I think I might be indifferent. I can't really see myself DOING it, but the thought doesn't really make me ill anymore.

It has all the allure of a visit to an abbatoir. And sometimes that's how it feels being an asexual in a sexualised world. It's not easy living in an alien landscape: hiding one's revulsion and expressing joy when a co-worker tells everyone she's pregnant etc. I resent encountering graphic descriptions in a seemingly innocuous novel. I cringe at the coarsening effect it has on people's sensibilities.

The 'it can be beautiful as an expression of love in a committed relationship' argument seems disingenuous to me - why would anyone want to commit such a degrading and bestial act on someone they purport to admire? It's unbearable to think that people one loves or admires are all deluded or depraved so, in order to survive in their world, one has to put one's beliefs on hold. Thank god for Aven, the one place where it is safe or permissable to be honest.

Okay, let me explain. I'm not repulsed by the idea of OTHER PEOPLE having sex. I'm just grossed out by the thought of doing it MYSELF. I can watch other people have sex, and get totally turned on by it. Hearing moans, grunts and all that jazz are definitely arousing. But when it comes to my participation - I'll pass.

I can watch tons of porn, and have tons of sexual fantasies. But the fantasies never involve me. I can never create a mental image of myself doing anything with another person (besides a peck on the lips or cuddling fully clothed). It's just not for me.

I voted "yes" although that's imprecise. I'm not revolted/disgusted by the thought of other people having sex, and I can certain appreciate artistic and tasteful erotica, but the thought of me being in involved in sexual activity with anyone else just disgusts/terrifies me.

Revolted and disgusted are, I think, too strong of words to use to describe my reactions to sex. I think it's gross, yeah and the idea of doing it myself is mildly repulsive but the idea in general isn't so bad.

In some ways sex disgusts me. Some aspects of it like anal and oral absolutely repulse me. Then again, sometimes I wonder if I would feel differently towards it If I fell in love with someone. Then again I cant see that happening in the near future :?

I think what I need to clarify is that since I have no interest in or desire for sex, any sexual contact I have would be coerced/nonconsensual and therefore disgusting and terrifying to me. I thought that was implied but it seems not to be the case.

I think of sex the same way I think of, say, mushrooms.

I don't really like mushrooms. I'd be perfectly fine never eating mushrooms. In fact, I'd rather not eat mushrooms than eat them. Same goes for various other foods. Other people think I'm strange, and insist that my taste hasn't matured (what, still?) and that someday I'll like them, but I'm doubtful.

If someone made a meal that involved mushrooms and really wanted me to try it, just for them, I'd eat it. I wouldn't like it. I'd probably hate it. But I'd eat it for them. And probably tell them it tasted good, too. Sometimes I'll hear a description of a meal involving mushrooms and think "Mmm, that sounds yummy, but... I know I'll hate the mushrooms... and that taste gets in everything..." And then I'll eat something else instead.

So back to sex, I'd say I'm indifferent in that I just have absolutely no desire to have sex, though I'd rather NOT have sex (or be involved in sexual activities) than have it.

Like you I am disgusted with sex. Just the thought makes my skin crawl. If I actually had to watch it, I get sick. Literally.

But I find this poll interesting because an earlier one said that disgusted was 1 out of 4 against just uninterested.

This poll is about even with disgusted yes or no.

But I bet its like most other things. Depends on which day you take the poll and your mood. Me I am always disgusted with sex, but I can imagine that some would be uninterested most times, but some days their moods may be different and thay be disgusted that day.

Also, in all polls, it all depends on who takes the polls. They can lean one way or the other depoending on who sees the polls and who takes them.

But for the record. Sex is disgusting at all times. whether it is people or animals, it makes me sick. I don't know why the animal channel has to show animals doing it. I enjoy shows about animals just not their mating habits. :D :D :D

The thought of having sex, or people I know having sex makes me feel sick (used to have a friend that talked about it all the time :shock: ).

But I don't have a problem with talking about it in a serious discussion as long as it doesn't go into the specifics.

No, if I think about sex on 'educational' way. Yes, if things get graphic.
