Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

Of course most people don't know. Asexuality accounts for a miniscule part of the population. I imagine less than 1%. Just say, "I don't like to have sex." It doesn't help how some part of the net have diluted the meanings of words and/or created new, ridiculous ones.

Saying "I don't like to have sex" really won't help people understand you. I really think explaining asexuality would go over just as well.

"I am asexual. I don't have sex." Not much more you can do. When it comes down to it, your sexuality really doesn't matter to most people. Especially when your sexuality is "Not have sex."

If you tell people "I don't like to have sex" you're probably going to get a variation of the following responses

- They'll think you're an uptight prude
- They'll advise you to get help since there is obviously something wrong with you
- "Maybe you just haven't met the right partner."
- "How do you know you don't like it if you never tried it?"

Not that explaining what asexuality is would help. Best to just avoid the subject.

Yep, this - all of the above. Seen it and heard it a million times.
