I was looking at this thread on AVEN (the asexual visibility and education network) and flicking through some of the statistics.
I find it interesting that more than 76% of asexuals have been told that they've got to try sex to know they are ase (despite, y'know, most straight people having never had sex with someone of the same sex to check they aren't gay) and also 46% of them have been told that having sex means you aren't asexual.
What are we to do? Damned if we do, damned if we don't... guess we'll just have to do what feels right for us thanks!
On a less antagonised note, I find that survey very interesting, and once it reaches over 100 responses I'm going to use it to make some real statistics on what ase people get. I think that will be interesting. I might even make a youtube video.
