I am Asexual.
I do not know who is reading this, if anyone, but I do know that this is the first time I am openly admitting it. My sexuality that is.
Asexuality in society is a fairly new concept as far as I know. I also know that many people think I am a freak for it, even without having ever met me. They confuse me for someone who has decided to live in celibacy, which I am not. Asexuality, like all orientations, is not a choice. I have never been raped, molested, or sexually assaulted in any way that could traumatize me against sex. I do not need 'a good lay'. I do not want one. I did not ever have a bad sex experience, because I have never had a sexual moment with someone. Which, does not mean that I would like it any more after having it. Does a sexual person need to have sex to know they're sexual, or is it something that they figure out alone the puberty train?
Whenever I hear people talk about Asexuality, it is typically in a negative light. And, that actually confuses me quite a bit. Who cares if I don't have sex? It's not like it's a requirement in order to live and love through a happy life. Even sexual people will say that sex doesn't directly equal love, so I don't see what all the hype is about.
I feel like I'm ranting. I am ranting. This is a rant. It has been decided.
The other thing I don't like when people talk about Asexuality, is when they disregard it as a sexuality, and demand that it is only for Biology.
That's not what it is. This is what it is:
I got the both of these from Tumblr, and I CAN'T FIND THE BLOG WITH THE ORIGINAL COMIC THAT I USED. I can't find it and I feel terrible because I feel like I'm stealing from them and want to credit them and stuff but can't because I can't find them. That last sentence needs punctuation.
Back to the point. It's not that I-as the above picture shows-reproduce by myself. I simply have no desire for sex.
At all.
