Haven for the Human Amoeba

Ah, I see where you're coming from. I am writing from a factual, historical context. QEI as a real person was not asexual by any means, don't fool yourself.

~K.

When I write of the Queen I do so seeing her as a legend. I know a-little about her life, but I know more of what writers thought of her. They praised her intelligence and chasity and loved her as almost something surreal. It is this Elizabeth I admire and look up to, not the one historians look for. As for the documentation, I would be hard pressed to find it. I am a biologist by nature and a literary nutcase by night. I wouldn't even know where to begin to look! However if you need a asexual pick-me-up, read The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spencer. He was a contemprory writer to Elizabeth I and the book praises chastity to no end. Makes one feel OK for not wanting to lay the latest hot actor. TTFN Renee'

In fact, it is said that she had a former lover executed. I would be interested in documentation that states otherwise.

Hello all, My name is Renee', I am a twenty-five year old lady who discovered her asexuality early in life. For a time I thought there was something wrong with me, but the more I study history and literature, the more I find others like me. All these women were admired from the Queen Elizabeth I of England to the goddess Diana. I am reluctant to tell others of my sexuality (or lack thereof) and so mostly keep to myself. I do wish to speak to other people who are asexual, if only to gain confidence in myself. Have a lovely day, Renee'

I feel I am Asexual and I like friends and companionship but with no sexual content. I believe in love at a higher level and that it can be achieved without genitalia contact. I have no sexual desires what so ever but I am able to love and cherish another being. jmo Brenda R

'ello mike, Don't know if I have a profile, your free to look though, can't hurt. I'm not really a techno-girl...more at home with a pile of books than a computer any day, so I don't have things like profiles, blogs and the such, sorry! As for what I am ultimatly looking for? Well not really looking. I want to see what this is all about. As far as my relationship interests go they are basically dead. I'm not exactally good at dating men (women are of no interest to me romantically....sorry ladies!) and have given up. There are only so many times a person can fall off the horse before they give up and just accept that they are a bad equestrian. I have grown to enjoy the bachlorette life, I take classes, frequent museams, see operas and plays, read more than one normally should, and don't have to deal with the annoyance of a man trying to bed me. I just hope that it all holds out! TTFN Renee'

Hello Renee, how are you. Thanks for responding. Like you, I have kept my asexualty a secret. Do you have a profile? Where do you live? My intent is to ultimately meet that special someone for a life long relationship. What are you ultimatley looking for?

Hope to hear from you

I do everything by myself, especially movies. Matinees are the best - very few people = less annoying distractions. Sometimes you(I) have to go with other people. Companionship is different from friendship. I don't care for either.

Palatinus...all asexuals are not the same. I think the common denominator is no need or desire for sexual activity with anyone, not any hard and fast rules regarding romantic interests or whether we choose to have a life companion or a companion to enjoy social activities. I agree with Mike coincidentally in doing things with a companion. I recently took off and flew to LA from the midwest for a weekend to attend the opera and see a musical at Pantages in Hollywood. The following weekend I flew to NYC and saw Lion King on Broadway, spent most of Saturday enjoying Central Park, a harbor lights cruise around Manhattan that night, most of Sunday was spent enjoying the Metropolitan Art Museum...all with a friend whom I'd never met in person, but what an enjoyable time we had. I enjoy those activities routinely and can't imagine finding joy in doing them alone. Geez, in October I flew to London for the weekend to spend a weekend there with an online friend that lives in Paris...for me, companionship is a much desired component of social life...so much joy in those activities to not share it with someone!

it is the question I am asking myself and have not answers. I am a 24 years old male, single all my life and I don't find a reason to be like that. I thought I was the only person in the world with this problem, but reading you guys I see there is a good number of people like me around the world. I never comment this to family or friends I keep this to me secretely, but they of course have questions about me; I know some even think I am gay, but I know am not gay.

Why should friendship/companionship be regelated to sexuals only? While some people prefer their own company to that of another, it has nothing to do with the desire or lack thereof, to perform a sexual act. That is a common misconception people have of asexuals. I am outgoing, gregarious and intellegent with a variety of interests. I simply possess no desire to copulate. Granted, some asexuals do prefer to live a solitary life, it by no means is or should be a reflection of all of us.

Hello All, I am one of those A's who is not solitary. I am involved in several things in life. I laugh till I am as ugly as anyone can become. I love being ugly. This is simply laughing until my eyes shed tears, mouth open, roaring verbally with not so much control of the sound effects and often my body thrashing about. This is a load of fun for me and truly I do this many days per week.

I one who has no desire to copulate, yet I love life. I love the romance of autumn I feel when walking. I love the crisp morning in the winter and I could go on and on. Anyone can fall in love with the wonders of the day and share them with another too.

Jen

Hello Juan, The most difficult part of being young and being asexual are lots of judgments. I know this from reading posts and my own experience. When I was young, I was judged and many folks were bold enough to ask or tell me they were sure I was a particular way such as gay. Well, these judgments were not good for me partly because I simply didn't know what made me different and there was no computer age at the time to find those like myself. Asexuals are as diverse as any group of people.

I am now nearing 50 years of life. I laugh until I am in pain off and on throughout the week because I love humor and laughter. I'm an animal lover to the hilt. I love learning and many things. Anyway, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with you in the least. I think you just need some support and emails or chats with those who are like yourself.

I, too, find it hard to tell close friends about my asexuality. They don't seem to understand it. One of my friends and I got into a debate about the purpose of marriage and love without sex. She just didn't seem to understand where I was coming from. She assumed that it was because I was hurt from a previous relationship, which is not true. I think maybe if people were aware of asexuality it would be an easier thing to come out with. I'm almost 100% sure that some of my friends think I am a lesbian, because I support gay rights and have not had a boyfriend for almost 7 years now. I know how I feel, and I just don't see myself as either gay or straight. I wish that they would just understand that I don't have the physical urges that they do.

I have a question for everyone. The reason I joined this sight is because I am a male asexual looking for a female asexual for a long lasting (possible lifetime) relationship. Are there any asexual females in this group looking for the same thing I am? If so please email me privately as I would like to get to know you.

Personally, I think people have issues with labeling others. I can enjoy a physical relationship so long as it does not include sexual intercourse. Does that make me less of an asexual than someone who doesn't even like to kiss? Don't know, all I know is that this is the group that I identify with and feel most comfortable around. The label just helps with the language. TTFN Renee' P.S. If your wondering on the rules of attraction, I have a thing for men who are literate. Almost jumped on a guy once who was dictating on Faulkner.

Hello!

I've been questioning my sexuality since age 12. At 22, I realized that I identify as a gay male. In years past, my interest in intercourse has sharply declined, as it was never a strong suit from the beginning. I would enjoy communicating with other people and learn more about myself and how asexuality will work as a "label" for me. Being gay, I absolutely despised the "top" and "bottom" stigma of two men being together. Now, I am embracing a truer sense of self that isn't viewed through the society's view of being a gay male. Phew, that felt good to get off my chest! Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

MOB

Last weekend getaway to NYC in November I saw Lion King, so I'm excited that this experience will be just as enjoyable... On your question --I can't say I'm 'unhappy' being single because I make the best out of everything, my glass is always half full. The ultimate goal of course is marriage and lifelong commitment with a very special guy that knows how to enjoy life... I enjoy so many things in life and of course my preference is to share them with someone special... and although I can enjoy an evening of fine dining and theatre with a girlfriend, it's so much nicer and of course romantic in the company of a guy...

Take care Mike! -------------- Original message -------------- From: mike larceny <nycusa05@...>

Yippee! -------------- Original message -------------- From: mike larceny <nycusa05@...>

Thank you Tiffany I completely agree with you as well. Like you, I like to experience life to it's fullest but would much rather do it with a loving companion. Where do you live Tiffany? I am from NY.

Palatinus...all asexuals are not the same. I think the common denominator is no need or desire for sexual activity with anyone, not any hard and fast rules regarding romantic interests or whether we choose to have a life companion or a companion to enjoy social activities. I agree with Mike coincidentally in doing things with a companion. I recently took off and flew to LA from the midwest for a weekend to attend the opera and see a musical at Pantages in Hollywood. The following weekend I flew to NYC and saw Lion King on Broadway, spent most of Saturday enjoying Central Park, a harbor lights cruise around Manhattan that night, most of Sunday was spent enjoying the Metropolitan Art Museum...all with a friend whom I'd never met in person, but what an enjoyable time we had. I enjoy those activities routinely and can't imagine finding joy in doing them alone. Geez, in October I flew to London for the weekend to spend a weekend there with an online friend that lives in Paris...for me, companionship is a much desired component of social life...so much joy in those activities to not share it with someone!

I am in California and an oldster LOL I also was born on valentines day and will be 54 on the 14th. My life is almost a mirror to yours with marriages and relationships but I was never blessed with children or grandchildren. Welcome to the group. Brenda

Hey everyone, Just joined your group, and wanted to introduce myself. I am most likely older than the average here, but asexuals come in all shapes, ages, and colors....isn't it great??? hahahah

Hope to find some "oldsters" here to communicate with along with the youngsters. I'm not age bias, I tend to love people in general....diversity is essential to round a person out I think.

I'm a 57 (on Valentine's Day) woman who has lived her life trying to be normal (by society's standards) by buying the goods that a relationship between men and women has to include sex to be "real" and meaningful. After countless exhausting relationships and two failed marriages, I found out, to my relief, that I'm neither defective, nor am I a freak. The blessing in my marriage to my first husband was the three beautiful, and amazing human beings that are my children, and the five grandchildren that are part of my circle of life. Guess perhaps they were the reason for enduring the heartache of being married and feeling broken all the time.

Last year, I read about the asexual commuinty and upon further research, found that there were others just like me (a large number actually) who had lived their lives feeling like they had something wrong with them as they loved the companionship in their lives, just couldn't relate to the sexual part of the same.

I've been a single lady for nearly 15 years now, and while I, like several others here have mentioned, enjoy a very full life, I do regret not having that wonderful someone to share the experiences with. I get asked out alot (I'm still pretty cute for an old broad), but once the man finds out that I'm not into sex, well....you know the rest of the story. So sad that sex=love in this world....especially when you are asexual. I am very much a romantic, but was always a fan of unrequited love where the two people could never consumate the relationship with sexual activity....(gee, I wonder why????...hahaha). Now I know.

Would love to hear from anyone who wants to reply. We need each other in a hundred different ways. Oh yeah, I live in Texas...guess that would be a good thing to mention.

Happy Friday everyone!!!
