Asexuality
I want to second this entire post so much. (It's also on Dreamwith, for those of you who like to avoid LJ.)
The fact that I am on the asexual spectrum does not mean I am broken. It does not make me abnormal. It does not make me weird. It does not make me less of an individual. It doesn't mean I am sex-negative. It does not mean that I judge you for having sex or for not being asexual. It does not mean I cannot write sex. It does not mean I cannot read sex when I want to. It does not mean that I don't occasionally think about sex, or talk about sex, or even engage in sex if I choose to. It just means that 99% of the time I do not have the drive or desire to express my sexuality in a physical manner. For me sex is primarily mental and intellectual. For me sex is more about an emotional intimacy. For me sex is romance, love, laughter, a human connection. The physicality of it doesn't actually interest me.
Just to make it clear: like I said in my post last night, I bounce around between bisexual and biromantic asexual but probably lean more toward the latter.
