JennS95 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Why would you say "sexual asexual" I mean whatever floats your boat, but hVe you ever heard (and I believe this is quoted on AVEN's front page if I'm not mistaken) that sexual behavior does not equal sexual orientation. That means you can have sex and still be asexual. So why go around saying sexual asexual? You aren't sexual, you're an asexual who does sexual acts. But again, say whatever makes you feel comfortable, just thought I'd add my input :) Link to post Share on other sites
Diforto Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 "allosexuel" is already used in french as "non-heterosexual". The generalized use of "allosexual" for "non-asexual" will give the french "allosexuel" two different meanings. Hehe. The French language does its best to bust our label choices like that, doesn't it? Just like with celibate vs. célibataire. :D From French célibat, from Latin caelibatus, perfect passive participle of caelibare, from caelebs (“unmarried”). (wiktionary) When you stole a label from french only to destroy its meaning, it is not our fault. You already done that to the word "label"… :P Link to post Share on other sites
Diforto Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 and there's nothing wrong or grammatically incorrect with non-asexual... it's just a very clumsy way of saying sexual. It's a double negative. Double negatives are grammatically incorrect, which is why I can't stand it. anasexual isn't good? Link to post Share on other sites
5_♦♣ Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Anasexual? Is that someone who is sexually attracted to people with the name Ana? Link to post Share on other sites
Diforto Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Anasexual? Is that someone who is sexually attracted to people with the name Ana? a + sexual = asexual a + asexual = anasexual the n being there only because asexual is starting by a vowel and a- become an- before a vowel.
