so what exactly is Asexuality?
An “asexual” person is someone who has no desire to have sex.
Asexuality is not a choice like celibacy.
Asexuals do not experience sexual attraction, do not find sexual behaviour appealing and are not compelled to form sexual relationships. Asexuals are not driven to have sex with other people . . .

Actually the one that surprised me most was Karl Lagerfield. I guess I just assumed he was gay.

Jughead, I used to read that, and Archie, Little Lotte, Richie Rich etc, I guess, from the cartoonist's perspective, it would be hedging ones financial bets to keep fictional characters, especially cartoon/comics ones, asexual.
Then again, there were an awful lot of super heroes in tights and flashy capes and stuff.. ahem..

i looked into Karl Lagerfeld a bit more, and it seems due to a platonic relationship with a homosexual man he is often mistaken for being gay

Fog,
i think Jughead is the member of the gang who never has any relationships or shows any romantic interest in anyone

Perhaps everyone I ever meet or find attractive is asexual!
Help me please - I need some kind of excuse to make me feel better!!!
Wasn't Cliff Richard married??
I also thought Dr Who was bisexual or it meant little to him as he is an alien and his ides of sexuality are much different than the mere mortal.

I met an asexual intellectual with radical views online at the beginning of the year - he lives in San Jose, California and has everything from data entry to bodybuilding while developing his theories and writing his book. He's a very smart guy and will probably sell a lot of his book. I hope he gets some of the recognition he is after. He identifies as a postmodernist, yet he believes in a metanarrative (a universalising philosophy) so I don't see him as such.
More power to asexuals!

in some circles Cliff is regarded as a celibate christian or a closeted homosexual but im going to claim him as an Asexual!

as for Dr Who i read that the 8th doctor had an occassional out-of-character pash but all the others were completely dis-interested in sex, i guess he could be a sexless alien? haha

thanks for stopping by, i find it fascinating too!
hi MNG,
ever since i saw the acted movie of Scooby Doo i have trouble remembering the cartoon, but in the movie Thelma has a love interest and Daphne helps her dress up for a date . . . i always thought in the cartoon it was implied she had a lesbian crush on Daphne haha that could just be my imagination . . . Humphrey is definately Asexual!
hi epiphanie,
i like how you said "postmodernist" like that was also a sexuality! haha
geez you really do know a broad spectrum of people from all over the world!
hi Anne,
i have seen that Asexualic site before, but thanks for bringing it up!
seems strange the idea of Asexual people only befriending other Asexual people . . . i think im so used to the sexual context of our culture that i actually cant imagine a whole society of Asexuals . . . i wonder what it would be like?

I really love making friends all over the world. I just discovered a postmodernist (a hardcore one, at that) from Egypt, of all places! They're so rare, and I really wasn't expecting to find one in the developing world, let alone a predominantly Muslim country, so I'm happy... I've invited him to marry me to get the citizenship if he likes, though he's going to be finishing off his PhD in the next year. Well, he might actually get US citizenship because I am apparently moving there after a year (woohoo, I've been wanting to move there for years)!
You will find more asexual ppl out there, I'm sure.
Have a great day now~

Excuse my ignorance but would asexual people still get married and just not have sex, or do they generally just have friends and be "single" ????

i think Asexuality has alot in common with closeted homosexuality with regards to lifestyle choices . . . gay men and women often enter into heterosexual marriages for reasons other than sex eg: companionship, financial security, reproduction, keeping up appearances
once in a marriage not based on sexual attraction theres a whole host of reasons the Asexual or the closeted gay partner may engage in sex, often just to please the sexual parter who they care for
Asexuals are usually thought of in two categories "sex aversion" and "sex indifference", so they could either really object or just not care
and just like gay people, Asexuals are all different so some have romantic partners, or platonic companions, others are single social butterflies or workaholics, and others are introverted recluses

When 2 people get to know, respect, love and trust one another more than anyone else they've ever known,want to commit to being partners for life and one is asexual, they simply come to an arrangement.
I never understood what all the fuss was about.

its become a trend since the sexual revolution to say that a "healthy" marriage must include sex, the implication being that sex is the most meaningful or valid form or intimacy
this may be true for some Sexual people, it may be important to have sex a certain amount of times per week etc
some Sexual people may look outside their marriages if they are not being pleased at home
i think it is important for most Sexual people to be made to feel attractive and wanted sexually
these are my observations anyway
couples who go to marriage counsellors are often told they need to be sexually active to have a "healthy" relationship
while this may be true for the majority of the populations it isnt rue for Asexuals
i get what you are saying that marriages shouldnt be based "solely" in sex but often it is a major motivating factor, and for many people a very important component
thanks for the comment

oh i know what you mean . . . it is impossible not to try and stick labels all over people . . . i think we all analyze our friends and what motivates them
hi anon,
dont even get me started on scooby doo and shaggy haha
hi slacko,
different strokes for different folks, it varies amongst individuals . . . its not really linked to the attraction people feel towards others
thanks for the comments everyone
Comment by Jeff Musall

As for marriage, it isn't important in all, I'm sure - but for those who consider sex a big component, I think it is a very strong reason to "not wait" to have sex. If it is important and you find out after the wedding there is no or little interest on the part of one partner, a recipe for marital problems.

dogmatic belief? haha
ummm no, generally not
there are quite a few cultures who choose to participate in periods of abstinance or celebacy, it is considered a sacrifice or self-restraint because it is assumed sex is something they desire
if you find other people sexually attractive and desire to have sex with them you are probably not Asexual
i guess it is possible that Asexual people may find it easier to enter professions or roles where celebacy is a requirement, like some religious ministers or nuns, or people that work on oil rigs or in the navy?
but i imagine alot of people of faith do it as a challenge not because they were born that way

My friend in San Jose told me that he sometimes masturbates to relieve tension, but if he couldn't do it for some reason he would feel no great loss, it would be perfectly fine.

hi D,
it happens all the time, men leaving their wives for younger more sexually active women, or vice versa
whats the divorce rate nowadays? haha
but yeah, no joking matter where kids are involved

i think i know what you mean . . .
i think in different periods of history a high sex drive wasnt as valued as it is today, esp for women, in some eras you were probably thought of as a witch or given a scarlet letter if you had a high sex drive
one day we will accept that there is no one lifestyle or social standard that will fit all . . . people dont want to be pressured to have sex or humiliated for wanting sex . . . embrace diversity!

Jughead 20 years later? I must find this!
Bryn, I was so down with Veronica, but I could never decided if I liked Betty better. She was sometimes corny, sometimes cheesy, but every now and again, she'd be so down to earth and lookin' fine. At least, to my 8-year-old mind.

Never static, life changes for the open minded and i can say I have been both highly sexed and asexual over the years... especially now as men-o-pause approaches. time to rest ... and to answer D... yes indeed partners wax and wane, but not all split up... friendship counts for a lot in many marriages.
I always thought of Tin Tin as an asexual character, and every now and then, even Harry P.?

Asexuals can have sex and relationships and joke about sex, theyre not nuns
Dr House has been characterised as a loner with chronic pain who has had a girlfriend in the past but in general seeking out sex is not a motivating factor in his behaviour
He has a long term emotional flirtation with Cameron but is generally indifferent about transforming the relationship into something sex-based

hey thats a really good suggestion!
some considered him to be Asexual, and many others believed him to be a latent or closeted homosexual - his life appears to have been largely sexless
thanks for contributing!
