What’s this? An asexuality test? Now we can pinpoint with precise accuracy whether someone is a/romantic or a/sexual. Like, HALF the bandwidth of AVEN could be saved by this simple test! If only there weren’t these minor flaws in just a few of the questions: 1. Confuses sexual attraction and sexual activity. 2. Gives two options- [...]
Ok, I’ve been spending way too long writing about asexuality. The reason I know this? I saw an advertisement today for eye-drops, which said “You may be up for the christmas party, but your eyes won’t show it!” or something similar. The idea being that you have to look smiley and happy. Looking happy being [...]
This is dealing with cast-off issues from my last-post. When I approached the last post, my head was a mess of all the different things I wanted to put into it, and there was some extremely heavy-handed cutting to get it brief enough to be informative. This post will hopefully be target-audience appropriate right from [...]
I’ve been hearing this a lot in the last two weeks and it’s only now, when I sat down to write a completely different blog post, that my brain suddenly linked it all together and said “Hey, dude, there’s this whole thing going on. Forget your other plans, talk about this instead.” It came to [...]
So today I’m going to talk about an idea that is used in different ways to invalidate monosexuality and asexuality. It’s the idea that everyone’s a little bit bi. Or, in the asexual case, that everyone’s a little bit straight. The scientific backing to the idea stems, I think, mostly from Kinsey, who created the [...]
The annoying girl (let’s call her V) from the last post returns! In a birthday party she had last Saturday, she brought her boyfriend along, who knew all about my asexuality, and he became the third person (after V and a guy from college), who responded to this news with the question: “So just what [...]
Ok, so I now have some sort of reasonably stable rountine. Seriously. It remains to be seen how long it’ll last. So I’ve resolved to post something on this blog every single Tuesday. If I’m busy or forget on Tuesday, then Wednesdays. Basically, I have no excuse not to do something every single week, which’ll [...]
Somehow, I think possibly in my wonderings over various sex- and kink- positive blogs (because they tend to make quite interesting reading), I ended up on the blog The American Virgin yesterday. Reading through it again earlier this morning, I got a strong feeling that this is a very useful resource for triggering asexual thought. [...]
Ok, so I’ll succumb to the pressure and have a little rant about those darned asexohaters. Just one. Just to get it out of my system. A couple of months back, there was a thread on a sex-positive forum, which I think has now been blocked, in which the members of this forum discussed the [...]
