What do you mean by sex: July 2010

None of the above

I haven't been writing much lately... But I made an asexual T-shirt! :-)
What it represents to me is something like asexual, agender, aromantic, queerdom outside the models...
Printed front and back.
Here it is!

About this blog

Who can tell me what is true? Here's a radical idea: why not consider that each person can best report for themselves what it is they are experiencing and wanting - rather than assuming that existing paradigms are sufficient and accurate to describe all people, and that everyone must fit in.
For brevity's sake, a very rough approximation of my "orientation" would be "polyaffectionate pansensual asexual". That means: I don't know what it feels like to need sexual release. I'm not sure I've ever been "sexually" attracted. When I really like someone, I have urges to become good friends with them. I don't understand attraction to a class of people on the basis of their gender. I don't know why people want to form exclusive monogamous units of two. I don't understand why sex is so important in building relationships. I do appreciate sensuality, and enjoy being physically affectionate with people I love and feel close to.
The label above is just shorthand for the general area where I'm at - a starting point - and I want to be moving towards a place where categories are fluid and the way we look at human sexuality and what it means is radically reconsidered. Maybe even a world where the concept "sexual orientation" does not necessarily apply to everybody. And, I want to see if there are more people out there who can relate! So leave me a comment!
