ASEXUAL (AS IN NOT MOTIVATED BY SEX) MONTH

Checking out to see how NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS is slowly rising in the ranks on Google, I noticed the ASEXUAL page coming up...  as a Sexual orientation except that you may have little to no desire for sex, which means that you always relate to men or women as friends.  Therefore you are not exactly abstaining from sex like a celibate might.   Various studies mine ASEXUALITY as being abnormal and say that maybe one person in a hundred is this way.


I would love to hear from anyone who defines themselves this way!

WHAT DO CELIBATES DO ? HE WANTED TO KNOW...

Someone recently asked me what celibates "do" sexually. The term used to mean a person who avoids sexuality, including self pleasure and fantasy. A person who would not or could not be stirred. As science gets more sophisticated we realize that medically some people have low sex drives and some have high - maybe some people have none. Let's say it's rare to get through a whole life without experiencing the body and the body contains desire, expressed or not.

I usually say that a celibate person is someone who has natural drives but who CHOOSES not to act upon it.


WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
