A subject that affects me on a personal level...

This last week Huffington Post published 6 articles in their "Gay Section" about Asexuality.

Asexuality: The 'X' in a Sexual WorldThese 6 articles are very well written in my opinion and I urge my flist to at least take a quick look into the first article and inform yourself about the basics of this sexual orientation. It's all about raising

The last book I finished reading actually had no sex scene it it. Just a tiny kiss at the end which was connected to the story and kinda needed. It had a lot of affection and stuff, so you might want to look into it. It's about zombies though, but nice zombies. Anyway. Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. It's a great read!

And just wow. That explanation is really good.

ohhh, wasn't that a movie too? I think I've seen the cover on a rental shop for dvds XD Lots of people liked it :D

and of course, I know it's not every book in existence, but it's still the majority, especially in the newer ones. And in movies it's even more rare these days. It's so special that you can watch movies like My Fair Lady and say, wow, they didn't even kiss, because you barely have that anymore and it stands out. Oh well, I doubt it'll change back anytime soon.

Thank you! I just want people to understand and stop pestering people to date and find girlfriends/boyfriends, just because that's what people do. XD

Yeah it was but I haven't seen it. The trailer alone made me cringe from all the things they've changed. I wanted to go see it but... well. I guess I will never watch it but wait impatiently for the sequel to the book :o

You know what all those movies and shows taught me? That every kiss leads to sex no matter what and to be even dissappointed if it's not like that. And I am an adult woman who has her own experiences with that, and now imagine teenagers. It's sad, really sad.

Oh I am not the person to pester other people. I pester myself about it XD

exactly this. I wonder how this started and I really don't want to know where it ends.

I pester myself about it XD

that, my dear is your very own problem then XD but I think that also comes from how our society works. Of course, being alone sucks, but it's not a life/death situation and ppl make it worse for themselves than it really is.

Nope, me either. It's bad enough as it is.

And yep, I know. XD That all might be true but still. Having awesome friends is sometimes not enough, and I don't mean this for sex or anything. But having someone who's affectionate about one and romantically involved would be nice for a change. Also, sleeping alone sucks big time! XD

<33 that's exactly what aces want as long as they aren't aromantic. I was still mostly talking about relationships based on sex LOL I tend more towards aromantic, meaning I don't get that wanting to be with someone so bad, but that doesn't make the need for someone who's close to you and loves you unimportant in any way :)
