Peaceandlove67 Article: Asexual عمومی سوالات Blog

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hello, everyone. Antonia here, and I decided to do a blog on سوالات I'm frequently asked about being asexual. As I mentioned in the Introduction Blog, I am asexual. I first discovered that when I was fourteen. I was bullied in school because of it. If you're not sure what asexual is, this should educate you, (I hope). Here it goes.

1. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean آپ don't date?
A: No. All asexual means is that you're not sexually attracted to anyone. Romance is totally different. Some asexuals are aromantic, but some of them are romantic. Romantically speaking, I could go either way, but I prefer males.

2. Q: Are آپ an alien?
A: No, I am not an alien. If آپ want to see aliens, watch a sci-fi film.

3. Q: Since you're not dating someone, are آپ lonely?
A: No, I'm not lonely. I have friends. Friendship can be just as rewarding as romance, if not more. Honestly, the only reason I haven't dated is I'm afraid of getting hurt. I've had good دوستوں who have been hurt in romance, and I know it could very easily happen to me.

4. Q: How do آپ know you're asexual?
A: آپ just know. That's really difficult to answer. There are different types of asexuals out there, and in the end, آپ know how آپ feel. Don't listen to anyone who tells آپ otherwise.

5. Q: Do آپ think you'll change your mind when the "right person" comes along?
A: No, I won't change my mind. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, not a choice. Besides, the "right person" would understand my needs and desires.

6. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean you're repulsed سے طرف کی sex/the idea of it?
A: No. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are actually two different things. I am repulsed سے طرف کی the idea of sex, but I don't reject it entirely.

7. Q: Are آپ asexual for religious purposes?
A: No, I'm not even religious. I'm spiritual, though. Asexuality is not celibacy. Celibacy is a choice. Asexuality is not a choice.

8. Q: What is the worst part about being asexual?
A: Probably the ridicule I've faced for it.

9. Q: What is the best part about being asexual?
A: I'm not sure. I guess the fact that it makes آپ an individual.

10. Q: Does it annoy آپ when people misconstrue your being asexual?
A: Yes.

I hope آپ enjoyed this blog. There are مزید blogs to come.

Peace and love,
-Antonia

Nevertheless, Leah and Emily enjoyed each other's company. When they reached their teenage years, they began to notice boys, as most girls do. One day, they met a handsome boy named Ralph.
