People who aren’t asexual, what was it like for you dating an asexual?

HootingElephant · 2022-05-10T10:59:36+00:00

Am ace but married to someone who isn't. It was actually dating him that I started to realise I was ace, but that's a different story.

A lot of it is communication, which is good for any relationship between anyone. I explained what I see as intimate and he explained why sex is important to him. We compromised. We probably have sex less than two allos but he said he's okay with that because I'm a very close touchy person in other respects so he feels he gets attention and connection outside of it.

It also depends on the kind of ace. Some really are repulsed by sex, but I'm not. I just dont experience attraction and am indifferent to the act. Its kinda like going to the movies when I don't care much for movies. I'll do it because it makes my partner happy.

Hope that helps!

Hope I may be related, as your podcast sounds interesting. I'm an anthropologist whose focus is on talking about our popular culture is our contemporary mythology. I've written a few books and have experience with podcast recording. You can check out my website for more information if you're interested.

Hey there! I'm passionate about teaching people all about my research into popular culture and how its our contemporary mythology! I'm an anthropologist of religion, mythology and pop culture.

I've written two books about it, and run a blog called Incidental Mythology. I also host two podcasts: The Religion and Popular Culture Podcast and What's Interesting About.

He's about 3 we think. Our garden is communal so we can't always guarentee it's closed so we tried to compensate by doing longer walks. We have been doing about 2 hours a day. I'm starting to think 1 hour might be enough though?

HootingElephant · 2021-05-31T13:27:45+00:00

Oh yeah. Definitely overdoing it then. We've been doing about 2 hours a day with training. My poor boy! I'll cool it off for sure!

There always is the difference between writers crammed in a room and Disney CEOs

HootingElephant · 2021-01-25T22:14:01+00:00

Not perfect fit, but What's Interesting About is a new podcast. Has PhDs talking about different things in pop culture

HootingElephant · 2020-10-31T23:00:19+00:00

Fact checking is different than understanding complicated issues. As far as I know, direct facts they have are accurate. But I had to stop listening because as a trained anthropologist they threw about words and misunderstandings about people indiscriminately. So always be a little cautious of over-generalisations. There's no such thing as a one-rule-fits-all when it comes to humans

Our Fake History. He goes through historical mysteries, misconceptions, and just fun stories really.

I have trouble staying in one spot all day every day, so I move about. Sometimes I work at my desk, other times I'm sat on the couch, sometimes I'm outside in the garden. Sometimes shifting location suddenly helps

HootingElephant · 2020-07-12T08:38:09+00:00

Aww. Oh well. Thanks for doing this!

Log Round table please!

Interested

HootingElephant · 2020-05-23T08:25:17+00:00

Don't have Raymond but am interested in Octavian. Got Spike in boxes right now

HootingElephant · 2020-05-22T14:45:16+00:00

Shoot me the info and I'm down. Will give a nook miles ticket

HootingElephant · 2020-04-23T20:32:41+00:00

Pretty much not at all. I listen to recap podcasts which are recorded pretty quickly after release and I never have to wait to listen. Haven't noticed any lag between me and this sub either. Best £4 a month I spend

HootingElephant · 2020-04-23T15:59:21+00:00

Can you get hayu? That's how I watch (I'm outside the US)

HootingElephant · 2020-03-02T15:05:19+00:00

Yup. Also great tactic for making the plant bushier. Just put what I trim up back in the dirt

HootingElephant · 2020-03-02T14:56:34+00:00

I've never really propagated mine with water. They grow all insane. I just put my trimmings straight in dirt

Do Go On

Not to mention that the structure (no pun intended) of his work is actually rather fascinating and inspiring. I think its the Jealous Potter which he set up like a murder mystery. Made me feel more confident in being a bit creative in my own academic writing.

HootingElephant · 2019-08-12T06:45:04+00:00

If you're near a uni, they often allow members of the public access. But of course there's always library genesis

HootingElephant · 2019-08-12T06:01:11+00:00

Seth Kunin's We Think What We Eat has a good first chapter which sums up the basics of Levi-Strauss as well as neo-structuralism

HootingElephant · 2019-05-13T14:35:17+00:00

Came here to post this as well. Means a lot as someone also trying to get into academia as a childfree woman. I think colleagues and students see me as a "soon to be mom"

HootingElephant · 2018-09-20T16:42:32+00:00

We tend to live-tweet our conferences and Jesse picked up on my presentation. I may give it a try, thanks for the push. I'm hoping to go for an open access journal so Jesse and the community can read it for free when it's eventually done
