Do you know someone who is asexual?

Apparently 1 percent of people are asexual. Have you over met anyone who could be?

Jesus Wept · 03-09-2011 05:17AM

One guy, don't want to name names so let's just call him John Doe.

Tea_Bag · 03-09-2011 05:18AM

that would be a cunt

I always presumed 'asexual' related to our perceptions of others.

For example, in the way that you would find your best friend or family 'asexual'.

I can't imagine being asexual. I think it would be worse than losing my sight or hearing.

ElectraX · 03-09-2011 09:19AM

Apparently Cliff Richard is! He's always rattling on about his chaste lifestyle!! I would have though Daniel O'Donnell was too,until he went and got himself a ready made family:p

wouldnt be surprised if i am never really up for anything more than the shift

Ghost Buster · 03-09-2011 09:49AM

Yup. I know a girl aged 38 who has never had a boy friend, shows no interest in men what so ever despite several advances from men over the years. She isnt gay either as i know of a few girls who have made moves on her over the years to no avail.
She is a really attractive girl and a twin and her twin sister must have got the full share of lust going as she was a man eater and is now happily married.

That's my understanding of it too.

I'd have said I'd be asexual when it comes to mates GF's and wives and I've a few female mates who I'd never think of in any sort of sexual way regardless how attractive they may be.

anto2 · 03-09-2011 10:59AM

asexual == wanker .They prefer to play with themselves .:D

stupidusername · 03-09-2011 11:13AM

I would've thought asexual as meaning like an animal without female or male reproductive organs. though I'd have to google if such a thing exists.

homerjay2005 · 03-09-2011 11:21AM

yep i know a somebody like this.

would have thought its higher than 1% also.

ah, here we go:

a·sex·u·al (-sksh-l)
adj.
1. Having no evident sex or sex organs; sexless.
2. Relating to, produced by, or involving reproduction that occurs without the union of male and female gametes, as in binary fission or budding.
3. Lacking interest in or desire for sex.

The King of Moo · 03-09-2011 11:38AM

I know a guy who seems like that. He never seems to have had a girlfriend, and I've known people from all walks of his life who've never known of a girl (or guy) in his life.

Now that just might mean he's shy or not good with girls, but he never seemed to show any interest in girls when out, and would sometimes come out with a story of past love or a celebrity he fancied but it never sounded genuine at all, just an attempt to prove he likes girls.

Someone who swears by their gaydar is certain he's in the closet, but I've never got that impression from him.
He just has no air of sexuality or sexual interest about him, like a kid rather than someone in denial.

does that include **** though? or even desires but for some reason cant bring themselves to have sex?

either way there is 50,000 of them over here

Noodleworm · 03-09-2011 12:19PM

People often answer questions about it on Reddit, They say they can like people, get on with them, but just not want have sex with anyone. Think of when your a child and the idea of sex and having a boyfriend/girlfriend holds no appeal, its just someone who never leaves that state.
They can still masturbate as that doesn't require sexual thoughts, its just 'scratching an itch'.

When I was a teenager most of my schoolmates had the stereotypical obsession with the opposite sex that all teenagers supposedly have however there were a few who never seemed to display much interest in the topic. Possibly they were gay (while there was no real evidence* for this its not something most people in smalltown Ireland back in the day would exactly be shouting from the rooftops) or shy (probably waiting for the time they could drink legally) or late starters or just the kind of people who had the good sense to keep their personal lives to themselves (and were probably getting more than the rest of us put together -jammy buggers).

Never really maintained contact with them so never did get to find out but I suspect theres a lot folks who dont really bother until their late teens/twenties.

* With one exception but very few people knew

It also includes lack of sexual attraction. Some do have sex drive, they're just not attracted to anything in particular.
