littlun: Hello Julie! I just wanted to give you three cheers. Not that I am nonsexual myself, I happen to have a high sex drive and also to feel that sex is a wonderful way to express your love in a relationship. In a sense, I find it hard to understand you BUT... I don't see why anyone would see you as some kind of freak. Society's brainwashing us into thinking sex is THE ultimate experience you must have. Sex is "cool" and if you don't have it, you're just not cool. I don't buy that bullshit. Yeah, sex is great, but for heavens sake it's not all there is! Go Julie! You rock :-)
Danush Novakovski: Thanks. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one out there.
Katie: This is really interesting. I've always considered asexuality/nonsexuality to be something real and possible but never actually heard of anyone who was openly so. I appreciated this article because I think it sheds more light on human sexuality outside of the dichotomy of a man and woman. It also goes far beyond queer issues to talk about what I think is really an ignored human sexuality. This article is interesting and well-written, and I sincerely take the points it makes seriously.
kat: Hahaha! More power to you. :D
So many people think so many things are the be-all-and-end-all of human existence, and they all end up missing what's *really* important...pure, simple happiness. As long as you're happy with your life, why change it?
People can be so silly sometimes. ;)
Nicole: I just wanted to say you're awesome. You've said everything I've been trying to say to people for ten years or more. Mind if I link them to it? :)
Alex: I have one comment and one question about you rant.
On the comment side I would just like to say that I enjoyed your rant and understand a little of what you talked about. Though I am not antisexual or nonsexual I have just never been the kind of guy that NEEDS sex. I have never put sexuality at the top of my list of things that I look for in a girl or had it be what drives me to interact with a girl. While I am fine with this most of my frinds that are guys just don't get my lack off need for sex and some girls have even said things like "you probably just say that to get girls". Some of my friends would take the stance of "your just shy" or "your looking for love" and then prceed to set me up on blind dates or so called chance meetings which I find very awkward. While the subject of your rant isn't completely like my situation, it was nice to read that someone had similar thoughts/feelings towards sex.
Now for my question... and this may seem weird. In #3: "You are a lesbian" you state "it is moderately accepted to have an alternative lifestyle?" and was wondering if the term "alternative lifestyle" really was copyrighted/trademarked or if that was just you being scarcastic?
Haris Baig: My comment is in regards to how this affects your outlook on relationships. It seems that you have decided to break free from the potential of a traditional relationship in general. Not to say that sex is the basis of a relationship, but if you do have a boyfriend/girlfriend, how is it that you would show affection otherwise?
I also can relate to being on the outside of a very judgmental majority, because I am pro-adoption over pro-creation. Thanks for making an educational page.
Steve: Great website. .. Friendship is very important to me and I would rather have a good friendship and romance then sex anyday.
Mikey: Well this is one real eye opener so to speak it is strange how the human race has evolved and still not learned that love does not mean sex, sex can be a part of love but not love itself. How sad that most men consider sex love. (they are strongly mistaken)
