Ace community and identity questionaires (for an essay)

[NiTeLight]

Hello everyone!

I'm doing a profiling essay for English, and I chose the asexual community for my topic because I want to raise awareness and understanding. I'd love it if you could help me out by answering a few questions for me. The questions on here are intended for both sexuals and aces, so feel free to answer, regardless of your orientation.

In accordance to AVEN rules, the questions must be hosted on a separate site, so here's the links to all of them (and yes, I got approval from Project Team / Research). As it is an anonymous questionnaire, I will be unable to PM you asking if I can use parts of what you said, so... by taking the questionnaire, you are implicitly giving me permission to quote you. Modify your answers (or don't respond to a question) if you are uncomfortable with that. Any quotes I use will be for my essay only (not posted or used elsewhere), and attributed to you under a pseudonym like "Ash Jones."

To protect your privacy, please do not give any personally identifiable information. That being said, stories and examples are highly encouraged. Some questions may not apply to you. If so, just skip it and move on.

Due to the nature of some questions, if you are under 18 you cannot (legally) take the full surveys. Here is a modified version acceptable for all ages if you would like to respond:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2JRBZ52

If you are over 18, here are three surveys. I particularly want answers to the first one, but I'd love it if you also took the time to answer the other two as well. :)

The Ace Community (8 questions, primarily about the asexual community, but also about asexuality and relating to society/non-aces): https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DRYHPHV

Identity (5 questions on the first page for aces about their ace identity, 3 on the second page for sexuals about their reactions to asexuality and aces): https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DRFC6YQ

Romantic Relationships (6 questions regarding the dynamics of an ace-sexual relationship): https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DRZDDL2

Thank you so much for helping me out! I look forward to reading your responses. :)

I answered the questions in a previous thread of yours, would you like me (and the others who already answered) to re-answer them in the survey?

[ThaHoward]

You have my answers right?

[Notte stellata]

I did the first one and the third one.

Thank you for bringing that up, Howard and Silver. I still have the responses of everyone who answered in the earlier thread, so I don't need you to complete it again. But thank you for offering. :)

I answered all but three (i think). Thank you for spreading asexual awareness!!! :D

I don't know if it's too late, but I did the first two!

Thank you to everyone who answered the surveys! My essay turned out fabulous and I just turned it in. Best of all, my teacher had me read it aloud to the class as an example of a good profile -- yay for extra visibility! I really appreciate all of your support. Thank you! :)
