The A Life Team Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Like it or not, sexuals are all around us and they're multiplying in numbers. Therefore we have to deal with them a lot. That's why the intrepid crew of A Life discusses some common themes that come up when dealing with them. Please do add your thoughts about the subject, but I urge you to listen to the show first. It will considerably clarify the poll and give tons of thought-provoking entertainment. You can find the show here: http://alifepodcast.wordpress.com/ Link to post Share on other sites

I think that statement was funny. That is since we came from sexuals. One day we will evolve though. I think achieving pollination or something would be cool. Or be a starfish. Seriously though, asexuals are only boring in bed. Else wise we are like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites
geekgirl Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think it makes us more interesting. The few people I have told about my asexuality seem to be full of questions about it, obviously it interests them. Link to post Share on other sites
MadEye Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah. Our existence is a paradox in the traditional view of human behavior. Link to post Share on other sites
Quelly Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think it depends on what you mean by boring and how the people around you handle it. Most of the people I know would consider my life boring (they wouldn't want to live it) because I do not do a lot of what is very familiar to them. I don't go to bars, I don't experiment with bisexuality (or even taboo heterosexuality ie. friend's brother), I don't oggle at "hot" strangers, I don't have dating or sexual stories to tell, I won't be inviting them to a wedding any time soon... At the same time, these people are very interested in it from a "that's new, please explain" point of view. Link to post Share on other sites
The7thSage Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Boring? To be honest, I find most typical sexuals to be pretty boring (at least the ones who express and obvious need for sex whether I'm dating them or not). I don't think being asexual (or sexual, to be truthful) makes for a boring or interesting person. Having said that, I am pretty boring, but that's because I am too polite to be who I am, usually.

Rivan Vox Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I find that asexuals, as they don't busy themselves with sex, busy themselves with many other things. I find them more interesting that most. Link to post Share on other sites
hollowsky Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Being as unconcerned with sex and romantic relationships (for the most part) as I am, it frees up a lot of time and energy to invest in what I consider more worthy activities. When you have that much time to spare and resources like the Internet at your disposal, I think it'd be quite difficult not to pick up interests and hobbies that are the exact opposite of boring.

Sally Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why would asexuals be any more boring than sexuals? There's nothing intrinsically interesting about simply being sexually attracted to other people, and that's the basic difference between sexuals and asexuals. Link to post Share on other sites

eee Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 maybe i should get together with my ace friends and post lots of fun photos online..........we are having an retro Adidas party this Saturday, concert Friday nights......far from boring. Link to post Share on other sites
Selk Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Probably yes for hypersexuals, but sexuals are not all sex-obsessed. They have hobbies and interests outside of sex, creating a lot of room for ace conversation. And if they don't? Then they're the boring ones. :) Link to post Share on other sites
KAGU143 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I don't think that it makes us boring at all. In my opinion, sex is boring! After all, it isn't even special to humans. The vast majority of animals do it too, so what's the big deal? People are interesting because of their own individual differences, like their special knowledge, their talents and their skills. Sex is just .... *yawn* Oh, and this is just for Henrik: My username is pronounced "G bird." :) ('Sorry it looks so weird as an abbreviation.) -gb Link to post Share on other sites

MycroftDiogenes Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sexuality has nothing to do with it. I know plenty of sexuals who are boring as anything! All people, regardless of sexuality, have the choice every day to go out and do something amazing. Everyone has the chance to enjoy life, to do the things they love, to make a difference to the people who matter. Being an ace (or not) has nothing to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Ase of Spades Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Being asexual doesn't make a person boring. I'm boring for reasons entirely unrelated to my orientation. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
xabalba Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 no i dont think it does make us boring i find im on a different level them most people as they all they are concerned about is getting drunk and laid and everything revolves around that but when you take sex out of the equation than your mind is opened up to so much more than being stagnant in that little sphere where you're world revolves around sex, i find intellectual stimulation more enjoyable than most other things my mind is always evolving learning new things and i am not being sexist to non Asexuals but i find most people are emotionally stunted and cant see the world around them because they are trapped in their own sexuality.

SquirrelCat Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If you can't enjoy the BBQ party without fucking you're the boring one... if having sex define how fun someone is then people can't have fun with their friends, that would be awkward. Link to post Share on other sites
Medulla Oblongata Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My late ace friend was a massive gamer and geek. She played Minecraft, L4D, Mass Effect (all 3), Diablo 3, Star Wars: the Old Republic, Dragon Age (both), and all sorts of games I can't even think of. She roleplayed with a group of friends (including me) online. She was far from boring! Link to post Share on other sites
Bakeneko Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Maybe we have to ask that question to sexuals to have a more certain answer. But I like to think that asexuality make us more mysterious and interesting. Personally I find boring hypersexuals ‘cause it seems that sex is the most important thing in the world and they always speak about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 No. How boring you are isn't related to sexual orientation, although hypersexuals seem more boring than non-hypersexuals if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites
LifeDontAnimate Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 No being asexual does not define that we are boring yes we don't want sex but our personalities are all still unique you are only boring if you are boring. Asexuality has nothing to do with it, I find being asexual a quirk about myself It's something odd and something I'm proud about and whilst its part of me it doesn't change any other part of me.

DracoBorealis Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well, if I asked the people around me that, they would probably say yes. But then again, they are always inquiring about asexuality, so it obviously interests them. Go figure. These people also find my life boring, but that's mutual -I find theirs boring and unappealing as well. Personally, I don't think sexual orientation makes anyone boring, just like their skin color or dietary habits don't. It's all about the person as a whole. It's who they are, not what they are. An interesting person is interesting, be they asexual, hetero, bi, gay or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel-Marie Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't think I'm boring. People talk to me a lot when I'm just out and about. So there's gotta be something there. Probably because I dress like I should be at Woodstock, dance whether people are looking or not, and I talk a lot. I guess that's enough to intrigue people. Link to post Share on other sites
Nekomata Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not at all. In fact, I think asexuals are far more interesting than sexual people. At least aces can think of better and more fun things to do rather than just sex sex sex ;-; Link to post Share on other sites
