Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

(Anonymous) 2015-01-06 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't really personally said I'm asexual to anyone except close family, who mostly reacted with a complete and utter lack of surprise, and a thanks for a shorthand word for the way I visibly have zero interest in sex/romance/dating and am constantly baffled by questions of attraction.

I have brought asexuality up as a concept a couple of times in various conversations, and gotten a range of responses from knowledge to confusion to derision to one memorable "What, you mean like mushrooms?" that required a little explanation on both our parts.

It did amuse me to imagine myself as a strange umbrella-person producing little spore mini-mes for a while afterwards. Or it still does, really. If I ever become a superhero/villain, I'm going to try to ensure that it's as the central parent/leader of a interlinked fungal hivemind of spore people. In non-combat roles, mostly. Information network, I'm thinking. I don't want my little spore kidlets getting killed or anything.

I'm sure it was confusing and frustrating at the time, but that was the best thing I've read all day. XD
