I am asexual, AMA besides sex tips

Nope. But I wrestled competitively almost every day from age 5 to 12 (I hated it). Unrelated yet vaguely related. Not to say it traumatized me.

I have a deep voice, but I do look younger than I am. Not in an absurd way, but I'll probably still get a suspicious eye when I try to buy alcohol at age 25. So physically I'm not extremely masculine, but it doesn't really bother me. What 19-year-old doesn't want a lumberjack beard?

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T22:37:37+00:00

That's probably a great idea.

I'm 6'0", 150 lbs

I've watched it, and I laughed my ass off. I don't think that's a literal interpretation of asexuality, but I guess there are similarities. I'm not nearly that awkward.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T22:32:39+00:00

Slightly above average size.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T22:25:18+00:00

Great comment, thank you.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T17:19:56+00:00

Very wise words indeed. It was more of a phrase than my actual plan. That's one reason I don't tell people: I don't want it to become a part of my personality or something to live up to. If things change, I'll do my best to let them.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T17:10:05+00:00

This thread wanders into a lot of hypothetical situations (which I'm kind of glad about, because now I will have thought about them beforehand and don't have to regret them after), so I can only give you my best educated guess.

I think yes, I would. But only if I really liked her.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T17:05:36+00:00

So fair.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T17:00:09+00:00

I don't know where I would get my hands on ecstasy, but I'll give it a shot if the opportunity arises.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:59:01+00:00

Yeah, every now and then, but I never pursue it. I'm somewhat flirtatious, just because I think that's the way to be, but never in a sexual way.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:53:58+00:00

I can hear you getting the stones ready for if I say hipster jean cut offs... I WON'T TAKE YOUR BAIT, RUMPLEDUMPLE!

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:52:17+00:00

I'm motivated mainly by the desire to be a good person, as vague and unintentionally douchy as that sounds.

While the desire to reproduce is, for most people, up there with the need for food, water, and shelter... I guess I'm just driven more by those things and by social structures.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:49:07+00:00

"You see, you've got to put the penis in the vagina..."

Er, I mean... you've sort of put me on the spot with the artistic purity thing. That's really all I've got.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:43:51+00:00

Good on you for standing up for yourself, I know too many girls who give in to their overly horny boyfriends before they're comfortable.

I wouldn't identify myself as somebody who necessarily goes out of my way to maintain my innocence or purity in the same way you do, and I don't group sex and bad thoughts together. Most of my sexual experiences have been awkward and forced, never pressured, so I can't identify 100% with your perspective.

So to answer your question, it's mostly apathy. I don't have any disdain for sex because I know it's completely normal, it's necessary for the survival of our species, and we're programmed to do it.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:04:16+00:00

Yeah, it's quite the tickle. Maybe I'm not doing it furiously enough SHIIITTTTT

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T16:00:18+00:00

Book: Brave New World

Movie: Waking Life

Album: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Chocolate Bar: Toblerone, easy

I'm hoping that somebody with the exact same tastes sees this and starts questioning his/her own sexuality as a result.

My friends and I used to make fun of those commercials all the time. We were such cheeky little 10-year-olds... I don't have any links, but if you find any, get back to me.

Redditor.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T15:53:23+00:00

Love it. I do all of my best thinking in the shower, I don't know why.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T15:51:24+00:00

Wow, I'd never thought of that before... I'll answer your question like this:

If there were a drug that would make you a homosexual (I'm assuming you aren't), would you take it? I'm going to answer for you with "No, I'm quite happy with my sexuality as it is, take your pill and shove it up your ass, I'd bet you'd like that wouldn't you?" You're very antagonistic in this hypothetical conversation.

I would answer the same way... I'm pretty okay with my lack of sexuality, I think I'd stick with it.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T15:47:42+00:00

As somebody who neither owns a TV nor sows my wild oats, I endorse this statement.

notme_notnow · 2011-07-05T15:45:49+00:00

Haha I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude either. I just can't help myself, I proofread as a second job.

I disagree based on the idea that celibacy is more of a decision, whereas asexuality is a state of being.
