AVEN Post of the Week
|
It's really nice to be out; you do get some odd questions, but I'm sure hanging around here you'll find out some good answers to them. Most of the reactions I got were awkward at first but then ended up being really positive. And it gets easier and easier to come out - I got to the point where I could tell anyone - random people on the bus even!

• … that asexual relationships are based on the same elements that are also important for many sexual people, like understanding, commitment, trust, emotional intimacy and communication?
• … that for some asexuals arousal is a fairly regular occurrence, though it is not associated with a desire to find a sexual partner? Some asexuals will occasionally masturbate, but feel no desire for partnered sexuality. Other asexual people experience little or no arousal.
