Cate Perfect Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Wouldn't that be the asexual-asexual option? Cate Link to post Share on other sites
Islander9 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Possibly e Cate- but I am not (ahem) attuned to other asexuals and I am not asexual-straight. Equals not = asexual/asexual- ur, I think? (Well, in lieu of any other enlightenment, I am quite sure.) Link to post Share on other sites
Cate Perfect Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Straight-asexual means asexual but romantically/emotionally attracted to the opposite sex. Gay-asexual means romantically/emotionally attracted to the same sex, etc. I was never certain what the 'other' option was to mean. Cate Link to post Share on other sites
Islander9 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 'Other' = o me basically! Weirdoes. Thingoes. People on the fringes. Quite nice people who do not exploit anybody else and *hate*/resent being exploited by sexual people. Creators/creatives. Me/I/ahau- Link to post Share on other sites
artemisbrowndeer Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I replied to the poll as 'other', or changing, attraction, but lesbian asexual is probably the most accurate. When I first started dating, I never thought lesbian was an option, but my relationships with males were always unsatisfactory and ended badly. I have been married. About 8 years ago, I met a woman who asked me if I had ever thought that I was gay, and we eventually became a couple and were together for 4 years. That relationship was the most comfortable and loving that I've ever had. We broke up 4 years ago, and I haven't had a partner since. I do want to have someone in my life, a partner, but I have absolutely no desire for sex. I miss the feeling of loving someone, of closeness, of emotional support and sharing.

Bolboreta Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Actually that's a good question a good question, because exactly one year ago i WAS bisexual, and today i really cannot put my finger on my sexuality anymore. It tends to fluctuate like a rollercoaster, that's why i voted "other". On somedays i feel straight, on others gay, then bi, on others totally asexual and then autosexual and god knows what else.Does anyone else experience a similar rollercoaster-ride? Change that "one year" for two and that's how I feel. The only difference is that it seems to go for "periods" of time, not days... They can last a week, a month or even a year, it's kind of crazy! If anyone asks, I'd still say bisexual, but I know my interest on sex is "low" to say the highest :roll: Link to post Share on other sites
LC Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hmmm...I think I'm maybe a "confused asexual"? I think I might like to have a relationship someday, if I met someone I really clicked with. I don't know if that "someone" would be male or female, or if it would matter. Maybe this would make me a "bi-asexual", except that seems to imply romantic interest in both sexes, where I'm not sure I have an interest in either (but I'm also not sure I don't!) Almost all the people (friends) who I've felt strong "emotional attachments" to have been women. I think I would probably be most emotionally compatible with a woman. I've never had any kind of physical desire for a woman, but I do occasionally find myself "noticing" women's bodies on television, etc. I'm not sure if that's a sexual thing, or asthetic, or just a reflection of the fact that I'm envious of women who have perfect figures (which I have to admit I am). OTOH, I guess I'd have to say that when I imagine myself doing anything "physical" with someone (cuddling, kissing, etc.), I tend to imagine doing it with a man before a woman. And the type of sex that seems the "least unappealing" to me is heterosexual (vaginal) sex -- it's the only type of sex that I can even theoretically imagine potentially enjoying (although I don't have any particular desire for it). However, all this could just be the mindset I developed growing up in a culture where pretty much everyone is assumed to be heterosexual, and where I assumed I "must be" heterosexual through most of my teen years (since I didn't have any romantic attractions to women to disprove that theory). Anyway, sorry for the rambling! Don't know if any of that makes sense to anyone or not! Link to post Share on other sites
Red Phoenix Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Straight more than anything. Do sometimes find females sort of attractive, but I don't think enough so to really slide over to category Bi. Think I'd be more likely to have a romantic attachment to a guy overall. Though it's unlikely I'd get beyond a friendship with either. Link to post Share on other sites

tomboy4life Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 bi-asexual, leaning towards straight. Link to post Share on other sites
mouser Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I picked other by default, I suppose. I don't understand the question. Are we implying some kind of pair bond here? I generally like people. Care deeply for a many of them. Unconditionally love not a few. Sexual preference, gender and species are irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites
slatterly Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I consider myself pansexual. There's really not much difference between pansexual and bisexual, but I like the sound of it anyway, and bisexual seems a bit cut-and-dried. Bisexual says 'I like men and I like women'; pansexual says 'I like who I like, thank you very much'. I do lean a little more towards men than woman, but I won't hesitate to voice my appreciation for a woman if I find one attractive or interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
Princess Brat Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 asexual-asexual I do like some people but I'm not attracted romatically to anyone. Never really been. I can love people but not in that way. Link to post Share on other sites
sister k Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Other (changing attraction) I used to be women (lesbian) orentated, now I find men far more pleasing in a chummy way than in the past. Link to post Share on other sites
Nolwe Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I voted other because my sexuality's always open to change. My only serious crushes (that's all two of them) have been for guys, so I'd mostly identify with the straight side of things. However, I'm not particularly bothered either way. It changes depending on my mood, really. Link to post Share on other sites
Sahedre Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I guess bi-asexual. Most of my silly schoolgirl crushes in the past few years have been on girls, but when it comes to historical figures and fictional characters I tend to be more interested in guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Seven Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I am at roller coaster. Changing sexuality and asexuality, both deeply rooted in my psyche. I used to be straight, straight asexual, bi, lesbian, lesbian asexual, pansexual, asexual-asexual, the labels won't last. It all was part of my experiences, my memories are that creates me, my memories are something so deep within, so bits of it are still somewhere in myself... Just now I am asexual aromantic aesthetic omni, I don't care about genders or sexes either.............I just look. Ask me one month later and you'll hear another option:) Link to post Share on other sites

Tanwen Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I've always considered myself as 'straight' I have always been able to see what men might see in another woman. Although basically a 'lone wolf' I do occasionally crave company, however although needing the close physical contact of cuddling, sex is an overrated past time, useful only for procreation. I've never tried cuddling another woman, perhaps I'd find it satisfying. Link to post Share on other sites

suttsteve Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I guess I would classify myself as asexual-asexual, since I'm not attracted to either gender. Link to post Share on other sites
LisaRochell Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I'm not one for labels, but I chose a-a. I've never had a sexual or romantic interest in anyone. I do have close emotional bonds, but that is honestly dependent on the depth of friendship. It's what felt right at the time, but I don't seek to maintain these things, just to enjoy it as it happens. :) Link to post Share on other sites
cutenycgirl20 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Bi-asexual. Probably leaning a little towards queer. Me too. I'm pretty much asthetically attracted to EVERY woman out there. I don't know. I just think that women are beautiful... there's just something about femininity that is sexy. But... I'm not sexually attracted to women. I thought I was gay for a while, because I had tried hooking up with guys, and didn't really enjoy it. So then I made out with a few girls that I thought were really pretty - but I didn't feel that sexual *spark* AT ALL. It was the same as kissing boys. I still felt *nothing*. So then I was like "Ok... I'm bisexual, since I'm not sexually attracted to one gender more than the other." But then, I finally realized that I'm not sexually attracted to EITHER gender. But I am asthetically and emotionally attracted to both sexes (but women more). So yes, I am bi-asexual. That feels right. But I sure as hell can't imagine explaining it to my sexual friends...
