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 ( Read more... )

Just saw your post as I'm about to head out the door to work. I think I need to start reading the Huffington Post! I'll be sure to read your post after work today and will read all the articles after that. I will probably be doing some sharing as well. Thanks for sharing this <3 I miss ya, hun. Hope you are doing well. We need to catch up soon. *hugs*

I read your post while I was at work. I tried to reply at work, I even wrote out this nice longish comment and the damned computer wouldn't let me post it!! ARGH! and of course, now I can't remember what I said. lol I wanted to read those articles at work since I had 4 hours free time, and I couldn't. The site wouldn't open. yay.

ANyways, I read your post, and I absolutely love it! I could not have written it better if I had been paid to do it! I love your example too, because it is exactly. EXACTLY. how I feel. I've even used that analagy myself when trying to explain it. It seems to be the one that works best.

Your post got me thinking that I would like to do something similar for my flist, but I honestly don't think I could do a better job than you have done. May I repost your post? Or if not, would you mind if I used parts of it in my own? I think you covered most, if not all, of what I would have written.

Seriously, why do we live on opposite sides of the planet? Why can't we be neighbours?!??
I miss ya hun. *hugs

Hey hun! So glad, you like the post! Took me ages to find words I was happy with LOL and of course you can repost it, if you want <333 It's funny that we're both using the same analogy without ever talking about it XD I follow @huffpostgay on twitter and they often have very interesting articles concerning LGBT etc :)

and life is truly unfair like that - putting us at opposite sides of the world! :/ I miss you very much and I'm thinking a lot about you and how things are.going over there. I often forget to switch on skype and when I do, you're not online XD and I can't access FB with my internet for some reason -___-

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.
