If you have any true questions about asexuality I'd go to http://www.asexuality.org as something else suggested. I'm actually a registered member there myself, and I have talked to the people there, who are very nice and informative. Best place to get the information you are seeking.And I can tell you asexuality has nothing to do with hidding from being homosexual. Asexual people lack the desire for sex, period. There are gay, straight and bi asexual people. It can be a bit confusing I supposed, so again I suggest the link provided above.

How would you describe asexuality?

He said: "Sex is never going to be part of my life, so why bother labelling myself?"It's not clear whether he lacks the desire or the opportunity.

Did I say he made this claim? Nope I didn't. Giving my personal experience with the board mentioned above and how the site might give him more information about Asexuality than those on this board can.

Cool your jets, I wasn't criticizing you or your advice. I was just adding some info to ponder.

I've heard of that website, I've actually been looking for the site because I've been wanting to learn more about asexuality since I've watched several shows revolving around the lifestyle. I. for one, agree with what some self proclaimed asexuals say about their relationships, that it is possible to have a deep and meaningful relationship with a partner without having to involve sex. I just find the whole thing interesting... thanks for putting the link up Eddieness ^_^

it is possible to have a deep and meaningful relationship with a partner without having to involve sex.How does it differ from a close friendship? Is it permissible to fantasize about the other person?

Actually it's very interesting. Many asexuals don't even masturbate or fantasize about anything sexual. They literally have no interest in it. There are plenty that do masturbate, but they usually concentrate on the pleasure itself without the fantasizing of anything sexual. And before anyone says anything, many of them had their testosterone levels and such checked and they levels were normal, and is many cases above normal. So it doesn't have anything to do with low sex drives, they just have no interest in sex, but they do like the other intimacies such as cuddling, holding hands, and kissing (and there are even some who don't even desire that).
I recommend anyone who has any questions to go to the website and ask. They have a chat room as well and have no issues with answering the hard questions, I know I asked my fair share and they were really open and honest with me about them without getting offended. You can also go to youtube.com and find many of the shows they have been on talking about their sexuality.

Many of the people I have spoke to who are Asexual, say they knew they were asexual (or at least different) from a young age. I'm certainly not saying SexyBoi is asexual, but it doesn’t have anything to do with hormones.

Well they don't call it a disorder, it's just another for of sexuality. After talking to many of them, they have said they just never, even from early on, had a desire for sex; just not something they thought of. It’s not that sex is gross to them (though some admitted as so); it’s just not something they want or desire. They simply have no sexual attraction towards another person, though they do have emotional attractions and connections towards other people.It’s hard to explain, simply because it’s not something I live. It’s like a straight person trying to explain homosexuality. Though the straight man might understand it, it’s not easy to explain fully because they don’t live it. Basically what I am saying is talk to the people the website I gave above. Or even go to youtube.com and search for “asexually”, it’ll bring up interviews these people have done on many different talk shows.
